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.”

Right - they’d be called racists.
Last I heard, there are a lot of democrats upset about the border crisis. This could be the one thing that finally drives a good portion of them ‘off the plantation,’ into a not voting or republican vote situation.
In other words, it could massively backfire on the democrat party.
A young black in today’s America can spend their whole lives without working,so why do they care about amnesty?
You now have obama's agenda.
Makes the enemy combatants rather easy to identify.
Eleanor Clift grows every more ugly by the day and is every more hateful, vicious and and scolding know-nothing even as she looks more and more like the wicked witch of the east. She’s the new Helen Thomas in terms of reaching the highest levels of ugliness. Now when jihadists blow themselves up, their 72 virgins will all look like Eleanor Clift. All she needs is a tall pointed black hat with a brim and slight crook near the top plus a little green facial coloring to complete the transition.
“and that such an action would “set the country completely on fire.””
Seems as though that’s the primary goal, fomenting a need for martial law just in time for elections. The fact that amnesty would create Democrat votes is also nice backup plan.
It looks like the supply of ammo is going to dry up again and the prices of guns skyrocket to unimaginable heights.
Unfortunately, it looks like they may end up being actually used this time around if His Majesty gets His way.
I read an article a few months ago that would assert a granted amnesty would allow 5 million. I guess that was the bill. I wonder how many Pat would be talking about? 5,000,000, 15,000,000 or 30,000,000?? Yech.
I voted for him, but given how things turned out, “What difference did it make?”
If this happens the Democrat party might become extinct starting with the November elections. First, I would think many union members would see their jobs threatened as a flood of cheap labor would drive down wages. Second, the African American vote could be jeopardized as they might see a flood of illegals as taking away the welfare and racial minority benefits to which they feel entitled. Lastly, the utter and brazen lawlessness of this action, might sicken all but the most liberal of Democrats.
Lib shows? MSNBC fired him years ago.
he can’t get off GOLF CART ONE long enough to sign any orders!

You think that would of changed anything?
If you think it would of changed anything you’re not appreciating the severity of the situation.
The Unions should be the voice of the common man, years ago, Unions were adamant against illegal immigration as a job stealer but they may have joined the Democrat fold on this, becoming convinced the jobs illegals took were not necessarily Union jobs. That is the reasoning but obviously, some jobs could be Union such as say meat packers.
I’d love to see some patriotic cops stand guard at the polling places and check IDs. In other words, profile the hell out of people. If you look Hispanic, you’re not votin’. Then let the SC decide the issue years down the road. Hell, maybe they’d be afraid to show up and no one would actually be turned away.
Ping for later
A nation lost becuz a party was so desperate for power, that it sacrificed its own nation’s future to maintain it.
Vote eGop.. what else could they possibly screw up?
