GOP Strategy to Stop Obama’s Executive Amnesty Emerging
Breitbart ^ | 17 Nov 2014 | Matthew Boyle

Posted on 11/19/2014 2:14:20 PM PST by COUNTrecount

A clearer picture of the strategy Republicans in both the House and the Senate will use to stop President Barack Obama’s planned executive amnesty in government funding bills is beginning to emerge.

The key point is that no matter what package emerges, there seems to be a consensus emerging among Republicans on Capitol Hill: There will be no funding for Obama’s planned executive amnesty. There’s a number of different ways that can happen.

First, there could be a short-term Continuing Resolution passed that funds all of government from Dec. 11—when current funding measures end—until shortly after the newly-elect Senate GOP majority takes office in early 2015. At that point, the Senate and House Republicans would block Obama’s planned immigration executive order in some fashion—either in a bill that funds all of the rest of government except for that or by splitting various Appropriations bills into different packages that separates funding the Department of Homeland Security out from the rest of government.

Another possibility is that there may be some kind of effort to cut the funding for Obama’s planned executive amnesty in the lame duck session of Congress now, but that effort would likely be thwarted as one of the last acts of outgoing Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.

Our newly elected RINO has, already come out in favor of a new guest worker program for agriculture. Like we don’t already have 10 of thousands of Mexicans in Washington state to pick fruit.

Less than 2% of the illegals in the country presently are involved in agriculture industry. When advocates evoke the price of a head of lettuce as a reason to admit more illegals let us just say they are not being honest with you.

The real questions is: what time is Obama going to turn off the internet?

Right after his speech tomorrow night? I better charge up the batteries on my ham radio.

“Most if not all Networks are not going to cover his Speech”

They may have been asked not to.

One has to wonder why.

Knowing what is going to take place is the hardest part for me.

IMO, this is the end of the Republic for all intents and purposes.

What takes place from here is merely the unraveling.

OBAMA’S UNCONSTITUTIONAL AMNESTY TO MIGRANTS THAT ARE LIVING ILLEGALLY IN THE U.S.A.

After destroying the best health care system in the world, Obama is determined to grant wide amnesty to foreigners living illegally in U.S. If Obama wants to make the U.S. into another banana republic, it seems he is well underway to reaching his goal.

The Republicans must make it perfectly clear that Obama has declared a merciless war against the American workers and the middle class of America. There are 92 million of able Americans out of the work force because they cannot find employment and Obama wants to legalize and give work permits to over 11 million illegal aliens allowing them to bring here the rest of their families. In other words, another 25 or 30 million that either will compete with Americans and legal immigrants searching for scarce jobs or are going to be added to welfare, bankrupting Medicaid and the food stamp system as well as ruining even more the quality of the public schools with the massive infuse of hundreds of thousands of children without speaking English to already overburdened schools systems.

I hate hearing you say that, because if you believe our situation is this hopeless, it frightens me.

Our leaders think this is just one more small issue that can be won or lost, not that big a deal. It is that big of a deal. This is a nation killer.

Even if you use their numbers, here’s what you get.

PY = year of plan (Plan year)

PY Year Start........ Year Additions Why

00 00,000,000,000 00,011,000,000 Initial Amnesty
06 00,011,000,000 00,055,000,000 Chain immigration (5 per above)
12 00,066,000,000 00,275,000,000 Chain immigration (5 per above)
18 00,321,000,000 01,400,000,000 Chain immigration (5 per above)
20 01,721,000,000

With chain immigration, the number added at these years, you wind up with a total addition of 1 billion 721 million in under twenty years.

Our current population is 320 million approximately.

Now consider if we actually have between 25 and 40 million illegals to start instead of 11 million?

Would this number come by chain migration. Perhaps more, perhaps less.

The figure is meant to show the potential.

Rep. Gutierrez of Illinois , of Puerto Rican background, a key leader in the the push for amnesty: He can taste it now. He is one happy camper. I'm talking about President Obama's speech tomorrow night, Thursday, where Obama will say that he will legalize 2,000,000 to 5,000,000 illegals.

Gutierrez will see all his dreams and hard work all these years finally come true with Obama's executive order.

Obama calls it executive order. I call it political blackmail.

Of course, Obama will say that the Republicans forced him to do it.

He will also say that it was "the right thing to do" several times, as if God is the one who inspired him to make such a decision. What a bunch of cow manure.

Gutierrez will now sit back and wait for Obama's next executive order next year in Nov. 2015, when Obama will sign another executive order legalizing another 2,000,000 to 5,000,000 illegals, in which Obama legalizes those he missed this time.

I can make all the noise I want. I’ve been beating this dead horse since around 1995, when it dawned on me what was down the road.

I have tried to wake folks up to this every step of the way.

It took ten years before people were willing to listen at all. Up until then I was cursed, called a racist, or simply laughed at.

Well, here we are. It’s not quite so funny now.
