According to new national polling data from Pew Research, the American people have revolted against President Barack Obama’s and the GOP establishment’s efforts to grant amnesty to America’s at least 11 million illegal immigrants through comprehensive immigration reform.

“Only about a third of the public (32%) approves of the job Obama is doing on immigration policy; 60% disapprove,” Pew wrote. “Obama’s ratings for this issue among Democrats are mixed: About half (53%) approve of his handling of the issue while 42% disapprove.”

He pivoted so often and so fast he dug into a bottomless pit.

>>Obama’s and the GOP establishment’s efforts to grant amnesty to America’s at least 11 million illegal immigrants<<

Well hell yes we have! By the way, 11 million illegal invaders is the dumb down figure. A decade ago, the media reported 18 to 20 million illegals.

With each amnesty push, the numbers get pushed downward in an attempt to make amnesty a bit more palatable to the American people.

Yes Americans clamoring for more immigration and set asides for the new “Americans”! Especially in an economy that if they can find work it’s either part time or at reduced wages! More HB-1 visas and dreamer amnesties with family reunification are what the people are demanding,along with more section 8 housing in their neighborhoods.

“Obama’s ratings for this issue among Democrats are mixed: About half (53%) approve of his handling of the issue while 42% disapprove.”

But how many of those RATS are disappointed he hasn’t done more to promote amnesty?

About 42% of DEMS don’t want this. Seems like easy pickings for the GOP sans e.

Well I can say this, wait until events procure that he stays for a permanent third term.
So far nobody has the balls to prevent even that from happening.
And should Hillary get elected she will be forced to keep Obama in some form of higher position, even she isn’t immune from blackmail.

Either way I seriously doubt Obama will go away, fade off into the history books or leave the country. He could sit in drag in the Oval Office and STILL he will have a following, or maybe he is doing that already?

NO MORE ILLEGALS

Send them home... how dare our government bring scabs into compete with ‘out of work’ Americans... How dare they?

Less than 4% of illegals pick crops.

Over 40% of illegals are on food stamps or welfare.

Indeed - and they NEVER, EVER mention that the Newbies will bring up mom and dad and put them on Social Security, disability and/or welfare. Sure, the law says they can't, but I've talked with some who bragged they did it - even the legal immigrants.

This is the most important part of the above article, and so of course it is at the end:

“...Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), the ranking member of the Senate Budget Committee, offers a different pathway forward for the GOP: flip this whole debate on its head, undercut amnesty, and make the Democrats wear the blame for having fought against the interests of American workers.”

“In changing the terms of the immigration debate we will not only prevent the implementation of a disastrous policy, but begin a larger effort to broaden our appeal to working Americans of all backgrounds,” Sessions wrote in a memo...”

“Now is the time to speak directly to the real and legitimate concerns of millions of hurting Americans...”

The immigration legislation Jorge Bush, Lindsey Grahamnesty and Jaun McCain attempted to push with Ted Kennedy had buried down deep in the legal jargon, individuals granted amnesty could be eligible to bring up to four family members to the U.S.

Not only this, these new legal citizens would also be eligible to file for the earned income tax credit if their income was below the poverty line.

Hundreds of millions in taxpayer handouts to folks that pay little or no taxes.

These were republicans as well as socialist attempting to push this crap. Gotta ask oneself...why? Why would republicans support something that would very well alter voting demographics in favor of Dems...forever. Why?

The GOP answer: Open borders, no taxes, no benefits. You can come here and live and work for as long as you like. No one will deport you. You will not be subject to federal income taxes. You will not, however, be eligible for any medical, welfare, or educational benefits.

NO “NATIVE” US CITIZEN gets as mad about this as the people who have struggled, paid dearly, and jumped through hoops to become naturalized citizens here. I work with some, and their blood boils when this subject comes up.

Because most of us didn’t work for it, we don’t seem to assign a value to it. Pity.

Obama and his many dems have all lost credibility.Obamacare dems spoke so highly of is coming back to haunt them. The nation has Obamacare sticker shock. Why would anybody believe anything from Obama.Phony scandals, keep your dr,keep your insurance.Next (Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took his case against a nuclear accord with Iran directly to the U.S. public on Sunday, denouncing “a very bad deal” that he feared the Obama administration was pursuing.

Everything Obama does comes back causing more problems than Solutions .I can just imagine how screwed up immigration reform under Obama would be.Any problems will be refered to Obama did not know about that. Maybe Obama should fix all his pending failures to show us he can actualy get things done like they should be done.
