Despite the medias gushing over support for President Obamas executive order on illegal immigrants, a poll just published finds that the public is rejecting his move, with overwhelming majorities demanding that illegal children be barred from schools and illegal adults from jobs.
A new Economist/YouGov poll said that the public opposes the presidents order, 45 percent to 38 percent supporting it. In fact, only a majority of Democrats support the presidents action.
The presidents plan for executive action on immigration clearly does not sit well with many Americans. Democrats support the presidents decision to use an executive order to delay deportation proceedings for parents of U.S. citizens, but 51 percent of independents and 80 percent of Republicans oppose it, said the poll analysis.
Whats more, support for illegals and the presidents action has dropped since he unveiled his order to allow some illegals to stay temporarily and apply for a work permit if they have children who are U.S. citizens.
In February, for example, 55 percent supported providing a path to citizenship. That has dropped to 47 percent.
More telling is the nations attitude toward undocumented immigrants when it comes to jobs, school and crime.
There is much support overall for punitive action against illegal immigrants: nearly two in three favor reporting employers who hire illegal immigrants, increasing fines for those employers and criminalizing the act of employing illegals, and requiring the police to report illegal immigrants to the federal government, said the poll analysis. It added: More than a third would keep illegal immigrant children out of public schools.
Deport them all! Eisenhower did. Sound impossible? Do it one at a time.
As if Obama and the people who instruct him care a damn about what the American people want.
All I can think of is a movie scene, I think it was Blazing Saddles, or perhaps History of the World where the Politicians are heard saying “Screw the People”. And thus art becomes Life or vice versa.
In any case, I agree with the sentiments about no longer permitting access to the welfare/entitlement system unless the beneficiaries are American citizens.
When Romney, in 2012, was pitched out by some jackasses we ended up with King Obama. So suck it up. Most of you got what you wanted and the King is ruling with almost pure power. Not a damn thing you can do to stop the illegals from schools or jobs. And they will draw welfare. Enjoy! We tried to tell you to pick the lesser of the two evils since we had no choice.
Like I tell my kids when faced with what seems an insurmountable task, take that first step and keep walking.
Deport one, then another, then two, keep going until done. It may take years just get started.
>> pay for overloaded carts in grocery stores with EBT Food Stamps
... and pay cash, from a thick roll, for the beer and other items that the EBT doesn’t allow.
And then push their overloaded cart out to a brand new Cadillac Escalade. Fat wetback mama with three to four kids in tow. The two older ones absorbed in their late-model smartphone.
See it all the time, with a few minor variations in the details. (e.g. sometimes it’s a Lincoln Navigator.)
Grrrrr.....
And this Hispanic-American who lived in México for almost 10 years would love to see a MASSIVE deportation of all of them.
Won’t happen though....
And somehow, the GOP establishment is unwilling, or unable, to capitalize on this poltically. They’re in a rush to fund amnesty.
Yep! And all of those “Christians” who couldn’t vote for a Mormon either.
Hope all those who stayed home and didn’t vote enjoy their $hit-sandwich lunch now. You’ve earned it!
Can you imagine the losses the democraps would have suffered if he HAD done this before the election?
It’s like the old saying- How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.
If you are in a position to process paperwork or applications, it is always possible an omission or incorrect entry can delay the processing...until after the new congress is sworn in.
<><> punitive action against illegal immigrants:

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY: denying illegals access to the welfare/entitlement system; the system was created for, and is subsidized by, working, tax-paying American citizens.
” We tried to tell you to pick the lesser of the two evils since we had no choice.”
LOL!! Romney would have given us amnesty 2 years ago.
There is a wide swath of American commerce that depends upon the availability of cheap illegal labor for its profitability. Those businesses are GOP supporters. They are also criminals, although they don’t like to admit it.
Enough said.
Exactly, he and his minions could care less about what Americans want i.e. obamacare. I guess he wants to teach us a lesson that we don’t always get what we want. Can’t wait to say adios to this wantabe president.
Yup.
No need for violence — or even anything overt.
Just innocuously gum things up whenever and wherever possible.

No one can possibly know what would have happened. I would have prefered to find out though. I can’t imagine it’d be worse than the utter lawlessness we have now.
