Obama administration to offer immunity to up to 800,000 illegals
Fox News ^ | 6-15-12 | Fox News

Posted on 06/15/2012 8:02:36 AM PDT by tcrlaf

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration will stop deporting and begin granting work permits to younger illegal immigrants who came to the U.S. as children and have since led law-abiding lives.

The policy change, described to The Associated Press by two senior administration officials, will affect as many as 800,000 immigrants who have lived in fear of deportation. It also bypasses Congress and partially achieves the goals of the so-called DREAM Act, a long-sought but never enacted plan to establish a path toward citizenship for young people who came to the United States illegally but who have attended college or served in the military.

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano was to announce the new policy Friday, one week before President Barack Obama plans to address the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials’ annual conference in Orlando, Fla. Republican presidential challenger Mitt Romney is scheduled to speak to the group on Thursday.

Under the administration plan, illegal immigrants will be immune from deportation if they were brought to the United States before they turned 16 and are younger than 30, have been in the country for at least five continuous years, have no criminal history, graduated from a U.S. high school or earned a GED, or served in the military. They also can apply for a work permit that will be good for two years with no limits on how many times it can be renewed. The officials who described the plan spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss it in advance of the official announcement.

I had to go through several pages of google hits of libs writing why everyone should vote against Walker, until I found this: Walker: If I were governor of Arizona, I too would sign the Arizona immigration bill. As Governor of Wisconsin, I will sign legislation that strengthens our protection against illegal immigration and ensures that taxpayer funded benefits like Badger Care, in-state tuition, and drivers’ licenses are not available to those who are here illegally.

All is not lost yet by Obama's little ILLGAL EO ploy he pulled for the ILLEGALS.
Friday, 15 Jun 2012 04:41 PM .. Newsmax
Rep. Steve King Threatens to Sue Obama Over Immigration Order
Iowa Rep. Steve King said on Friday that he would sue the Obama administration to block its newly announced plan to grant amnesty to certain children of illegal immigrants.

“I will tell you that — I’m not without experience on this — I’m prepared to bring a suit and seek a court order to stop implementation of this policy,”

As I recall when Congress files a lawsuit against the Exec Branch it goes straight to SCOTUS and we still have a 5-4 Conservative majority there (my gut says Justice Kennedy detests what Obama's done and he's the Wild Card on the court). So that can doom Barry's ploy right there.

Also, Barry's 'ILLEGAL Abuse of Power' Executive Order is only good as long as he's in office and it's not immediately VOIDED with a new EO by THE NEW President on Jan 20, 2013 [only 218 days, 2 hrs from 'now']. But in the meantime the ILLEGALS who now think they've got it made will fill out their WORK PERMITS and a gazillion other forms with their Real Name, Address, and everything else needed to round up the '800,000' illegals (who think they have a Get Out Of Jail Free Card) and deport their butts to the Jungles of the Yucatan.

“Obama administration to offer immunity to up to 800,000 illegals”

That’s just the ‘kids’. Each of them have 2 parents. Obama
won’t deport their parents either....who would the ‘kids’ live with? So the figure is at least three times the 800,000.

I saw Romney on CBS today saying he wouldn't rescind Obama’s executive order on amnesty and he would replace it with a sweeping amnesty bill. Now having lied his way to the nomination Romney is running to the left.

McCain was on NBC saying the same thing, that Obama's action is a half measure and should be replaced with a full amnesty bill.

Work visas to illegals with high unemployment is stupid.

Liberal Republican Romney, Romney is a liberal.

I left out Rove and Kristol on FNS today,

Rove said Obama should have passed this as a bill and he would have got a majority in congress, even if more Dems voted for it than Rs (traitor!)

Kristol said he agrees with Obama on this action and Romney needs to come out for Rubio’s more sweeping amnesty bill NOW to take this issue away from Obama. Kristol is the ‘bomb Iran now’ neocon.

Exactly! And that ceases to be ‘diversity’ and simply becomes 3rd world chaos!

As expected, the GOP "leadership" caves. Romney's limp-wristed counter punch is that Obama's amnesty was "political."

Even if Rubio's bill were to state that they must have entered the USA before the age of 16, they can't vote, and no chain immigration:

1) Once Rubio's bill enters the congressional process, Dems (helped by Rinos) will do their damndest to strip out any limitations Rubio started with, and to add not only new and bigger amnesty "features," but also miscellaneous porky surprises. The only way that could work out OK is if it is voted down, but they never give up.

2) In the slim-to-none-probability category, Rubio's bill actually makes it though congress with no chain immigration and no voting for the Dream Act beneficiaries. Now they have a big foot in the door. Leftist judges start ruling that, since other amnesties allowed "a path to citizenship," this one must also. If Obama is POTUS in 2013, he just ignores the parts he doesn't like. Who knows what Romney would do, but I would not count on him stopping deportations or "securing the border."

3) Expect rampant fraud to "prove" that they were here before the age of 16 and to satisfy other requirements. And don't expect the Mexican Govt. to report criminals and terrorists. They want all of them to be working in the USA.

4) I won't bother to repeat the details of the insanity of giving out work permits, especially in the midst of high unemployment.

5) The message to families in Lantin America, Asia, and the rest of the 3rd world: Bring your kids to the USA, and don't bother with trying to do it legally.

Can we just be honest with ourselves?  Rove is the enemy.  He hasn't had a clue in ages.  His president didn't have one either and coupled with Andrew Card and Carl Rove, it's easy to see why.

These guys are traitors to our cause, and not much less when it comes to our nation.  Who gives a damn what our nation's laws are?  Who cares what's good for the nation or our citzens?

All these people care about is currying favor with illegals and the soft mush-brained individuals too stupid to get out of their own way.

Enablers of this sort of things are enemies to our nation, pure and simple.


As expected, the GOP "leadership" caves. Romney's limp-wristed counter punch is that Obama's amnesty was "political."

Absolutely!  It's so refreshing to know there's one other (and there's plenty more than just one too) person out there that knows the Left Play-Book on illegal immigration so well, they these asshats can't pull the wool over their eyes for even a moment.  Kudos to you ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas.  My hat is off to you and all the others who see this craven skullduggery for exactly what it is.

Even if Rubio's bill were to state that they must have entered the USA before the age of 16, they can't vote, and no chain immigration:

Before I address your solid points, I want to remind folks of some important issues here.

Why did Obama pick the 16 to 30 year old group?  That's because he knew damn well these are the heads of Hispanic households that will be the cornerstone that prevents any future illegals from being deported.  Children under 16 are not being deported.  Once he sews up the 16 to 30 year old segment, that only leaves older Hispanics.  And with the rest of their family several generations here, it is hoped and planned that they will never have to leave either.  They're setting up the basis to claim it's not humanitarian to do so.  This pure and simple the beginnings of back door amnesty.


1) Once Rubio's bill enters the congressional process, Dems (helped by Rinos) will do their damndest to strip out any limitations Rubio started with, and to add not only new and bigger amnesty "features," but also miscellaneous porky surprises. The only way that could work out OK is if it is voted down, but they never give up.

Amen.  You've nailed this one bud.  The asshats didn't get one thing through on you.  Unlike many others, you are not asleep at the switch.  Thank heaven too...

2) In the slim-to-none-probability category, Rubio's bill actually makes it though congress with no chain immigration and no voting for the Dream Act beneficiaries. Now they have a big foot in the door. Leftist judges start ruling that, since other amnesties allowed "a path to citizenship," this one must also. If Obama is POTUS in 2013, he just ignores the parts he doesn't like. Who knows what Romney would do, but I would not count on him stopping deportations or "securing the border."

You wouldn't, I wouldn't, and anyone with ten percent of a brain, wouldn't.  Of course that's unless such a person was working non-stop to get illegals transitioned to citizenship.


3) Expect rampant fraud to "prove" that they were here before the age of 16 and to satisfy other requirements. And don't expect the Mexican Govt. to report criminals and terrorists. They want all of them to be working in the USA.

Bingo once again...

4) I won't bother to repeat the details of the insanity of giving out work permits, especially in the midst of high unemployment.

I knew you wouldn't.  As you say, it's downright insane!


5) The message to families in Lantin America, Asia, and the rest of the 3rd world: Bring your kids to the USA, and don't bother with trying to do it legally.


The only problem is, they don't allow people from Europe, Asia, Africa, or Australia to enter our nation in this manner.  They try to catch them, and they deport them with no questions asked.

There's one thing and one thing only, taking place here.  This nation is being handed over to Hispanics.  "Just walk right in and we'll hand it to you."

Then someone like me objects, and I'm a racist.  No, the concerted effort to turn this nation into a Hispanic nation rather than a Northern White European Nation, has been a goal of the U. N. for decades.

Laugh if you want folks, but by 2030 his is going to be very close to a Hispanic majority nation.  You are having your birthright stolen from you.

We have between 20 and 35 million illegals in our nation today.  If they never go home, they get citizenship, they bring their relatives over legally, and they have plenty of kids, we're talking about easily 100 million plus new Hispanic citizens in less than twenty years.

Hispanics have Mexico, Span, Central, and South America in which to practice self-determination.

Europe's White race is dwindling by percentage.  Now the rush is to change the U. S.  Why?

Why is it a crime for White people to have a place to practice self-determination?

If you think I'm over-reacting, try thinking of one third-word nation where the citizens are told they must embrace multi-culturalism.  That's right, you can't think of one.

Multi-culteralism is the best thing since pancakes here.  When it comes to other nation, not so much.

Are the Arabs told they must become multi-cultural?  How about African nations?  How about Asian nations?  Are they told they must become African?  Are they told they must become over 50% White?

I like being exposed to people from all over the world, but there is absolutely no need whatsoever to turn this nation into 1/3rd White in only a few short decades.

We either wake up and face what's going on and demand a stop to it, or we are done as a people.

When is the last time you heard someone push multi-culturalism on Mexico?

Obama to offer immunity to up to 800,000 illegals

That's equivalent to 8 towns of 100,000 each.....Filled with illegals. Then the big picture? yikes...

It's like that old lady saying...."Whoaaa...Wa happen"....

Like the youtube video of the lady, who was close to a minor accident, walked around those near her asking, what the number was for 911. A real hoot.

Excellent point. Obama would make it 0 to 130 if he could, but they probably poll tested the 16-30 range.

If "the “Dreamers” sign up for Obama's cockamamie plan, they will be swearing on official documents that their parents are coyotes and subject to deportation.

Furthermore, Obama's plan says ....illegals will be "immune from deportation" if they have "no criminal history...."

TRYING TO CLEAN UP THE LEGAL STATUS OF THESE CRIMINALS IS A BIG, BIG PROBLEM:

+++How many forged/faked Social Security numbers do they have?

+++How many fake identities do they have?

+++How many fake identities are they using to take money under false pretenses----riding the US gravy train?

++ +Do they have valid drivers' licenses?

+++Have they ever been falsely claimed under different identities on IRS returns for EITC payouts?

+++ Did they get SS nos for their offspring and fraudulently use the nos to get money under false pretenses, riding the US gravy train?

=================================================

REFERENCE----ICE's "documents and benefits fraud task force" found a common practice among "impoverished" illegals is to buy several forged/faked identities for several thousand dollars each----the illegal then votes and rides the US gravy train under several names.

<><> Jose Madrigal---the Washington state rapist--- had some 30 identities. And probably voted and collected US benefits under every single identity.

<><> Another illegal used multiple identites to bilk UI systems of some $3.5 million.

=========================================

US Dept of the Treasury Says Illegal Aliens Collecting Billions in Tax Credits According to the US Dept of Treasury’s Inspector General, more than $4.2 billion in additional child credits were paid out in 2010 to illegal immigrants. In 2005, the pay outs totaled $924 million. This program allows low income earners to claim a $1,000 per child credit.

$20 billion EITC is estimated to have been paid out to these cunning "impoverished" illegals. Most of them are collecting over and over again-----using multiple identities-----falsifying official apps--- claiming children they do not have and/or falsely stating kids are back in their homelands.

REFERENCE March 8, 2012 KENNER, La. -- Kenner police arrested illegal Marvin Baca who sold false W-2 forms to another illegal immigrant for $1,500. Baca sold fraudulent W-2 forms for $1,500 to other Hispanics here illegally.

Police said that on one of the forged W-2 forms had a SS no of a person living in Virginia. Police said illegal Hispanics purchase fictitious W-2 forms and file false tax returns with the government to receive EITC refunds. Baca was charged with one count of ID theft and two counts of forgery.

And there is the problem of not knowing what crimes they may have committed in Mexico and similar places. I used to live in Mexico (before the gangs took over — now it is worse), and became accustomed to La Mordida. You commit a crime (or the police just say you did), pay the police in cash, -> no government record of any such thing. So even if the Mexican government wanted to turn over criminal records to the US DHS or State Department, they don’t have the records!

These are all great points and we have brought them up many times here. Now all we need is a party that cares about it.
Team Romney : Romney, Rove, Grahamnesty and McCain were blanketing the Sunday shows yesterday and NOT ONE brought these important factors up. NOT ONE!
They were all too busy trying to figure out how to one-up the amnesty issue over Obama to get Hispanic voters support.

We are REALLY screwed!

Exactly. Although I’ll get challenged on the use of the word, it’s effectively national genocide. Our nation, our values are being destroyed.
