On the Friday broadcast of “The McLaughlin Group,” columnist Pat Buchanan predicted that President Obama would grant amnesty to illegal immigrants via executive order by Labor Day and that such an action would “set the country completely on fire.”
After Washington Examiner Chief Congressional Correspondent Susan Ferrechio argued that “Democrats could gain from Hispanic voters turning out, especially if the president decides to take key executive actions in this summer that would help Hispanics who are here in the country, perhaps living here illegally. That could boost popularity for the party,” Buchanan responded “executive amnesty will set the country completely on fire. I do agree, it might get out the Hispanic vote, but you will have red state Democrats denouncing the president for doing it, for engaging in unconstitutional action. It would be a tremendous firestorm which would really polarize the nation.”

Sorry, I’m a little bit late to the party. Work comes first don’t ya know.
Letting the token president do what he is doing is like letting a ten year old have a loaded Uzi and shooting it where he wants as everyone watches and nods.
I don't know what's happened to alleged "conservatives" over the last 15 years. Somewhere along the way, many of us traded our spines for...well, for something. It sure as hell wasn't for more freedom.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

The only way I see it backfiring is if border state governors deploy the National Guard and take their own steps to deport the invaders. Obama, Holder, and the media will howl - but that is the only way.

It is not the only way.
Amnesty is a big business notion and it is fueled by big business. In fact I predict that if the senate goes republican there’ll be not a thing to stop amnesty.
If you think Romney (for whom I voted) would do anything different about amnesty other than cover it up better, you are kidding yourself
“On a scale of 1 to 10—with 1 being an infinitely remote possibility and 10 being near meta-physical certitude—rate the following probabilities...”
“Elanor Clift!...WRONG! Jack-Jack Germond!...WRONG! Freddy “Beetle” Barnes!...WRONG! Pat Buchanan!...With qualifications, CORRECT!”
Out of the shadows and onto the tax-rolls? Illegals will sign up for all the gimmes and any taxes they pay will be more than offset by all the freebies.
Well, impeachment has been proscribed as an option.
The hag that first denounced the Mission Accomplished banner she assigned to Bush.
You left out Robert Novak...
I'll say it again. Eleanor Clift looks like Mortimer Snerd.
... and sounds like Skred the Muppet huffing helium.
Oh, we will stop him. Guarantee this will be the straw that breaks the camels back, after this it’s all downhill from here.
Obama definitely wants that - not sure he will get it, but he can manufacture a crisis.
What compels, you ask, to make such a statement? A number of us have been shouting “The British are Coming” for a couple of decades now. Some longer. Meanwhile we see that the road from “here” to “there” keeps changing and the “there” that is possible becomes diminished almost exponentially. IMHO, and I am far from alone, the “there” we aspire to know isn’t even America we knew as children. In other words, what we are willing to fight for isn’t even achievable at this point. John Adams set the U.S. on solid footing when he advocated taking on the Ten Million in debt that existed from before there was a U.S. This was a huge cornerstone that wet our “house on rock” for two centuries. We are currently encumbered with $17 Trillion that has already been spent and IOUs for hundreds more. The Biblical admonition against the sins of the father come to mind but in our case it is grandchildren’s grandchildren. None of the forks in the road lead to where we would like to go. NONE.
