Voters on Obama’s Immigration Plans: Drop Dead
NRO ^ | Mark Krikorian

Posted on 11/05/2014 3:40:42 PM PST by ObamahatesPACoal

Yesterday’s Democratic wipeout had many causes, but immigration was clearly one of them. When the president said, “My policies are on the ballot this fall,” he was talking about things already done, like Obamacare, but also things to come. And whatever we think he might do in the future, he’s made only one concrete policy promise in that regard — unilateral lawless amnesty for millions of illegal aliens by the end of the year.

As Mickey Kaus noted, “Schumer would probably be chairman of the lucrative Banking Committee if he hadn’t pushed his amnesty bill.”

(SNIP)

Only one ballot question was focused specifically on immigration: Measure 88 in Oregon, to grant driver’s licenses to illegal aliens. The same voters who backed liberal Democrat Governor John Kitzhaber for a fourth term and approved marijuana legalization also voted against licenses for illegals by a two-to-one margin. Opposition to Measure 88 got more votes than any candidate or any question on the Oregon ballot. And this despite opponents being outspent by more than ten-to-one.

As Kansas secretary of state, Kris Kobach wouldn’t ordinarily attract national attention. But as a leader in the immigration-control movement — John Judis in The New Republic labeled him as “America’s Worst Republican” — he was targeted for defeat. He won by 18 points.

He doesn’t think that way. It’s only HIS way.

We need a poll of whether the people would back impeaching Obama if he grants Amnesty unilaterally without congressional legislation?

All of his policies were on the ballot. Every one of them.

Pride goes before a fall as it is said

Um, the lyin’ king don’t care what the voters think. Heck, he doesn’t care what the new house and senate think either. “Nobody tells Baby what to do.”.

Hopefully this clear Republican win will intimidate Hussein re: his executive actions legalizing these border crashers. So that they will not be as sweeping as he has been bragging about for months

So we get 2 million legalized by Hussein instead of 11 million. Stinks but is a lot more livable.

When Obama grants a broad based amnesty, it is for all the marbles. Millions of suddenly legalized illegal invaders will overwhelm the system and American citizens and guarantee a perpetual Democrat majority. It must be stopped. Boehner and McConnell are our leaders in this struggle, for better or worse. If they cannot or won't stop Obama, then there is no solution within the system and people are going to have to decide if they want to surround the White House with millions of torches and pitchforks or not.

Doesn’t matter what the voters in Oregon say. Oregon DMV has been giving illegals licenses for a long time.

Why do you think he is the feckless fool on the hill?

The Fool On The Hill

Day after day
Alone on a hill
The man with the foolish grin
Is keeping perfectly still
But nobody wants to know him
They can see that he’s just a fool
And he never gives an answer
But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning round
Well on the way
Head in a cloud
The man of a thousand voices
Talking perfectly loud
But nobody ever hears him
Or the sound he appears to make
And he never seems to notice
But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning round
And nobody seems to like him
They can tell what he wants to do
And he never shows his feelings
But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning round
Oh, round, an’ round, an’ round, an’ round, an’ round
He never listens to them
He knows that they’re the fools
They don’t like him
The fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning round
Oh, round, an’ round, an’ round, an’ round
Oh

2 Million is a “teaser”.. Once the floodgates open, they will be open to all..we are witnessing the end of our nation.

Obama won't use an Executive Order.

The Republican leadership will help him pass Amnesty.

How quickly Conservatives forget.

Just 10 years ago, we barely stopped the Bush-McCain Amnesty.

Obama in his press conference said that he gave Bohner multiple opportunities to get an immigration passed, and the fact that he tried repeatedly, shows that Boehner wanted to get it done.

To the new congress, BO said at least four times, to four different reporters, that he would use all his “lawful” executive rights, so that we can use the employment benefits of using foreign workers, unite families, and do what Americans have been clamouring for.

He complained that he has been really patient and there is cost for waiting.

And here is the threat,””You send me a bill that I can sign and those executive actions go away,” he said.”

Obama should look at this map and sober up

Most of those places in red don’t want Amnesty.

It would certainly seem that there remain in America a substantial number of citizens who consider that their president gives a rat’s *ss what they think about anything.

He doesn’t.
