Why the hell are they pushing on with this, its a vote loser in every way, perhaps they know Nov is lost and are doing as much damage as possible now before they can't.
One of our local channels yesterday showed poll results with about 75% supporting checks to ensure people are here legally; here in NJ it is easy for Americans to see how the “replacement Americans” are taking over, and the Americans aren’t liking it.
Well, geez! Now’s a fine time.
Why the hell are they pushing on with this, its a vote loser in every way, perhaps they know Nov is lost and are doing as much damage as possible now before they can’t.
Yes, 0bama’s Scorched Earth policy is in the works.
Scotus’ decision basically throws the decision regarding immigration to the Federal level. It just so happen Obama is the president today. With right president and Congress, immigration policy can be strengthen. Obama made policy change (eg withdrawing the agreement with AZ police) in haste, only hours after the decision, without the benefit of this survey. Clearly, he’s on the wrong foot political wise.
“Why the hell are they pushing on with this, its a vote loser in every way, perhaps they know Nov is lost and are doing as much damage as possible now before they can’t.”
It would certainly appear this way; in fact, Obama was acting like this very soon after his election. The “gay marriage” silliness and backdoor amnesty are just the latest examples - both of them are absolute losers at the ballot box (”gay marriage” having failed every time it was put to a vote, and even California voted against benefits for illegals).
Romney really ought to run with this. He needs to step up his game and put obama on the defensive.
“Why the hell are they pushing on with this, its a vote loser in every way, perhaps they know Nov is lost and are doing as much damage as possible now before they can’t.”
The Democrats are throwing the election, precisely as the Republicans did four years ago. Ask yourself why.
Meanwhile, work at the taxing, spending, regulating and restricting factory at the Washington DC plant will continue after yet another routine shift change. This game keeps only about half of the people mad at the same time, instead of all of us at once.
If we toss the word “Arizona” in the sentence in the article it says the majority of the people want the immigration laws enforced. THAT is what the Constitution is about, and that is what the SCOTUS ruled.
The Executive is NOT doing the job the Federal/Executive was created for. The only answer has been all along to impeach, but we don’t have enough “representatives” in government anymore. We have a majority of self serving pirates stuffing their pockets with perks/treasure they have voted for themselves at our expense, and defense of those perks at the expense of their fellow citizen, and country.
The administration is at war now with it’s own citizenry. That’s no way to run a railroad.
It’s pretty clear that it matters not what voters want. Even with the ruling, OJanet basically flipped AZ the bird and told them to pound sand.
If I were SCOTUS, I’d pass down an unambiguous Obamacare ruling with teeth. I think it’s highly likely that by the end of day Thursday, Obama will, by fiat, declare whatever the Court sez to be a win for “Him” and proceed to cram the mandate down our throats regardless.
Really.... AZ was the shot cross the bow.
Obumocare will end up being a cagefight between the One and Justice Roberts.
55% or more...want the US government to Uphold the Immigration Law.
Arizona law was nearly a mirror of the federal law and all AZ wanted and still wants is for the law to be enforced as it is codified.
The government cannot pick and choose the law or we cease to be a Republic.
When a government goes rogue and becomes a regime...is it time for the people to exercise their true first Right as described in the Declaration of Independence?
Maybe it's connected with Obamacare. Some of the posts around here in the past day suggest that people are so fed up with illegals (and the Fed's refusal to enforce immigration laws), that they'd willingly carry (and display to LEOs) a proof OF citizenship. National ID? COLB tattooed on forehead, or what?
Wouldn't that be convenient - provided that "the law" would be on the same side of the law as the citizens - but it would be decidedly inconvenient when it came time for the feds to round up the Obamacare offenders. "Hey you, citizen, you haven't paid your tithes to Obamacare."
Probably a lot of other situations where disclosure of American citizenship could be hazardous to one's health.
As the founding fathers feared. U.S. Federal Government—Public Enemy Number 1. Armed and extremely dangerous.
If obama is on the wrong side vs the public and the SC says this is the feds role - then make lemons out of lemonade and use this to illustrate that obama is not doing his job. Of course he can say no president including reagan cared about the borders but obama is president now. Then obama will say we need “comprehensive” immigration reform. Our side should refuse to discuss anything like that until the border is sealed.
Well the SCOTUS ruling tosses the resolution of this squarely back to the ballot box.
Will the 55% show up and vote their conscience?
Yesterday’s stance by Kennedy gives me a great deal of worry about the outcome of the Obamacare ruling. If his point is the states can’t “overrule” federal law, how is he going to apply a different finding this time... the states were the plaintiffs here.
I’m not optimistic... at all.. about what we’re going to hear Thursday morning.
Silly USAian, your nation is just part of NAFTA. USG cares about you in regards to NAFTA and Internation edicts, only. Your own laws which authorize USG, are merely a nuisance to a new way, their way.
For normal people, this would seem to be a self-destructive act. Obviously, if you antagonize enough voters, you won’t be re-elected and, hopefully, all the harm you’ve done will be undone in the first weeks of the new administration.
However, all bets are off with Obama and his posse of clowns as they do not seem to be normal people.
Something like:
19 Democrats in Congress
15 Republicans in Congress
Were quickly involved in insider trading when the economy came apart.....
Why did Martha Stewart go to prison?
Yet these members of Congress just walk!
Lets face it very few people like the idea of rewarding those who cut in line.
They call the children of immigrants who had no choice but to follow their parents innocent, and no doubt they are in that regard. But to allow them to stay is nonetheless to reward and justify their parents illegal behavioral.
The issue however here is whether or not a State can enforce the law. The Federal Employees in black-robes have decided to side with their masters. on this which to be frank is to say only Washington can enforce(or in this case fail to enforce) their own laws.
The way they did this is as Thomas Pointed out disturbing as they stepped upon the rights of our people and their States in doing so.
