The Obama Administration has urged the House of Representatives to pass the immigration reform bill that would provide a pathway to citizenship to millions of undocumented people and accelerate the immigration of professionals from countries like India and China.

Not just no, but hell no. Just enforce the current laws and seal the borders.

To me it is the final nail he is driving into the coffin. He wants all these illegals in to suck at the teet of Commiecare so that the rates skyrocket and the people who could afford it will then be unable to afford it and as a result the amount of people owing fines will skyrocket. The government then has a direct avenue to take everything you own and the commie act of redistribution begins. Can't pay the fine of thousands of dollars? In comes the IRS with their liens, and possessions and auctions. Remember: They classified the fine as a tax, and how does the government treat people who can't pay their taxes? Helloooo....

They will pass it, GOPe will put on a dog and pony show, but they will pass it.

I don’t mean to refer to Cruz, Lee and a few others, they are genuine constitutionalists, not showmen.

I sure remember it. This has to rank among the most idiotic statements ever made by a politician. And yet we all now the outcome.

That’s why Obama is going to have to thrown a HUGE bone to his base - so it will be a consolation when they find out how Obamascam hurts them.

But it’s also most important to gin up the low information voter. Most of those won’t be concerned in the least about Obamascam because they don’t pay a cent for either health insurance or health care - courtesy of the taxpayers.

Explaining the pain of obamacare to his worshipers will be the easiest thing Obama has ever done. He will simply say that is all the fault of the Republicans, and his base, as you refer to them as, I refer to them as his worshipers, and they will believe him. They may not believe anyone else that tells them that, but they will believe him.

Yes, I am afraid that you are right on that. Low information means never questioning The One.
