PERRY SAYS SUING OBAMA ADMIN OVER AMNESTY A "VERY REAL POSSIBILITY" (Where is the EO?)
Breitbart ^ | November 20, 2014 | SARAH RUMPF

Posted on 11/21/2014 11:43:54 AM PST by Hostage

AUSTIN, Texas -- "It's a very real possibility" that the state of Texas would file a lawsuit to block President Barack Obama's plan to enact sweeping immigration reforms by executive order, said Texas Governor Rick Perry in a speech at the Republican Governors Association's (RGA) annual meeting in Boca Raton, Florida on Wednesday. Obama is scheduled to unveil his plans in a prime time speech on Thursday evening, to allow millions of illegal immigrants to avoid deportation by what is known as "deferred action," a move that was also strongly opposed by the other Republican Governors at the meeting, leading to immigration dominating the discussions on the first full day of the RGA's event, as reported by the AP. Other governors in attendance, including Gov. Scott Walker (R-Wisconsin) and Gov. Bobby Jindal (R-Louisiana), agreed with Perry that a lawsuit would be an appropriate response to Obama's executive order.

SNIP ------------------------------------------

Perry's successor, Governor-elect Greg Abbott, took a similarly critical stance against the President's plan in an appearance on Fox News Channel's The O'Reilly Factor, saying that Obama did not have the legal authority to waive immigration laws for millions of people at once.

SNIP ------------------------------------------

As Breitbart Texas' Kristin Tate reported, Abbott has vowed to file suit in federal court "as soon as possible" after Obama signs his executive order. "We are prepared to assert legal action against the President because we believe that what the President is doing is completely unconstitutional," said Abbott. "He has a legal obligation to enforce the laws, [and] immigration is assigned by the Constitution to the United States Congress to determine, not the President."

“Yesterday it was reported that General Dynamics was given the federal contract to make the CARDS.”

http://www.forbes.com/profile/crown-1/

Net Worth
$7.3 Billion

Ski resorts in Aspen. Stakes in The New York Yankees and The Chicago Bulls. Part owner of Rockefeller Center. The Crowns redefine the phrase widely diversified. Such spread-out wealth has placed them among America’s richest clans since the Truman Administration. Today’s patriarch is 89-year-old Lester, son of the progenitor Henry. The clan was founded by Henry when he and his two brothers started a building-supplies company. They apparently played fast and loose, learning how to defer taxes and construct a business using borrowed money. Henry merged his building-supplies company with General Dynamics in 1958. Crowns still have $3.8 billion in GD shares, the single biggest source of their fortune.

General Dynamics Board Selects James S. Crown to be Lead Director

FALLS CHURCH, Va. – The board of directors of General Dynamics (NYSE: GD) has selected James S. Crown, 56, to serve as lead director. Crown’s service as lead director will begin on May 5, 2010. He is the board’s first lead director, filling a position that was created in February.

Crown is the longest-serving member of the General Dynamics’ board, having been a director since 1987. He is president of Henry Crown and Company of Chicago, Ill. He also serves as a director of J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. and Sara Lee Corporation.

http://www.salon.com/2010/08/12/lester_crown_and_israel/

An Illinois investor whose core wealth comes from huge military contractor General Dynamics, Crown is worth with his family $4 billion, according to Forbes. He also owns stakes in the Chicago Bulls and various hotels and ski resorts.

He and his family have been extremely generous to Obama. Lester’s son James bundled $500,000 or more for the Obama presidential campaign. James and his wife chipped in another $100,000 for the inauguration. Lester Crown along with employees of his investment firm, Henry Crown and Co. have donated over $100,000 to Obama’s campaigns since 2003, according to a Johns Hopkins review. Crown has also given large contributions to many congressional Democrats, as well as a few Republicans.

In the heat of the primary in January 2008, when Obama’s pro-Israel bona fides were under attack, Crown authored a mass email to Jewish voters vouching for Obama on the issue. (In the email, Crown said the fundamental issue that animates Crown’s political involvement is “my deep commitment to Israel and to a strong U.S.-Israel relationship.”) So the Israelis were shrewd in their choice of donor to reach out to.

http://dailycaller.com/2012/02/20/michelle-obama-and-kids-spend-presidents-day-at-aspen/

The source told TheDC that the Obamas are there with their young children and two female friends of the first lady. The group is staying near Buttermilk Mountain, at the “huge private home” of Jim and Paula Crown — the family that owns Aspen Skiing Co. There are a large number of Secret Service agents with them, and the Crowns have reportedly relocated to Little Nell Hotel until things quiet down.

The Crown family is from Chicago, the Obamas’ home town. Paula Crown is a member of President Barack Obama’s President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities. Federal Election Commission records show that both of the Crowns are big Democratic donors, with the exception of several isolated donations to Republican candidates such as Sen. Mark Kirk.

Michelle Obama also was in Aspen in July 2011 when she spoke at the Crown’s residence as part of a joint fundraiser for the Democratic National Committee and President Obama’s 2012 presidential campaign. In her 28-minute talk, the first lady thanked the Crowns of Chicago — whom she described as personal friends — for hosting the event. She spoke in front of 150 supporters, most of whom paid between $1,000 and $10,000 to attend.

OBAMA'S GRUBERING In his address to the nation, Obama told Americans not to worry about their safety---illegal criminals would be weeded out under his E/O.

REALITY CHECK Democrat Castro doesn’t know if violent gang
members should be deported / Beltway Confidential by Joel Gehrke

Ex-San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro (Obama appointee to head HUD) refused to agree that members of violent gangs should be deported before they commit crimes while participating in gang activities.

“I believe in ensuring that America is free of folks that have committed violent crimes,” Castro, who received national attention as a speaker at the Democratic National Convention, told Rep. J. Randy Forbes, R-Va., during the 2013 House Judiciary Committee hearing on immigration reform. “With regard to the hypothetical,” Castro also said, “I readily concede that I’m not in law enforcement, I’m not a technical expert in that regard.”

Cong Forbes explained that he was asking about the issue in light of a rape that took place in which the accused perpetrator could not have been deported due to having protected status.

“The country’s thrust up to this point in fighting gang activity is wait until they kill somebody, hurt somebody or rape somebody and then go after them,” Forbes said in 2005 when he “introduced a bill that would allow the government to deport aliens and immigrants who are not permanent residents of the United States and belong to criminal gangs,” The Washington Times reported.

SOURCE http://washingtonexaminer.com/rising-democratic-star-doesnt-know-if-violent-gang-members-should-be-deported/article/2520625

UGH---Hillary and smirking Castro said to be discussing his plans for higher office---the pic to end Hillary's 2016 plans?

====================================================

Was Castro speaking from The La Raza Bank---that is to say HUD? Castro is Obama's appointee HUD--now known as the La Raza Bank---withdrawls only. ================================================

BEWARE THE CASTROS (1) US Cong Joaquin Castro, (2) his identical twin brother, ex-Mayor Julian Castro--heads HU), and, (3) their mother---Maria “Rosie” Castro--a hardline La Raza activist.

Castro warned Speaker Boehner WRT holding up comprehensive immigration reform.....so I guess deferring amnesty will put the kibosh to the ambitious Castro family's violent, separatist plans for America, thank God.

God only knows the tax dollars these three have confiscated for the blood-thirsty La Raza.

BACKSTORY Castro---2012 Democrat convention keynoter---genially introduced the mother, Maria “Rosie” Castro to the convention-goers. Mamasita Castro is a radical ethnocentric, anti-assimilationist....a key figure in the activities of the blood-thirsty, tax-funded “La Raza."

(Castro is mentioned as a possible 2016 Dem VP candidate---and has been photed w/ Hillary.)

====================================================

AMERICANS ARE ALREADY FUNDING MAMASITA CASTRO'S HATE-FILLED ORGANIZATION: In 2005 alone, $7.9 million in taxpayer funding was given to La Raza charter schools in the form of US Dept of Education grants.

LA RAZA schools stress Latino culture, the Spanish language, the re-conquest of the American Southwest, the establishment of the mythical Atzlan on US soil, and even Aztec math.

In addition to using taxpayer funds to enforce the teaching of murder and violence in US public schools, the federally-funded La Raza organization operates 100 charter schools across America.

LA RAZA TEACHES HATE-AMERICA WITH OUR TAX DOLLARS La Raza Studies do not even try to sugar-coat its anti-America agenda and its bloodthirsty plans to kill off Americans: Raza Studies textbook “Occupied America,” by Rodolfo Acuña, includes a violent and blood-curdling speech given by university professor Jose Angel Gutierrez: “We have got to eliminate the gringo, and what I mean by that is, if the worst comes to the worst, we have got to kill him,” (pg. 323). The following is taken directly from La Raza's Occupied America: “.......execute all white males over age 16,” (p 167--AKA the Plan of San Diego).

===============================================

La Raza also got Democrat Congressional earmarks and tax dollars for "mortgage counseling." The super-secret Congressional Hispanic Caucus calculatedly launched a housing initiative called "HOGAR"-- Spanish for home. Conspiracy and collusion were the watchwords....... race-based "La Raza" was given tax dollars and Congressionsl earmarks to finance its so-called mortgage activities. La Raza's "strategic partnerships” with Wachovia and Bank of America forced the falsifications of mortgage-application and the dumbing down of mtge requirements and documentation standards.......which caused taxpayers to be socked w/ billions in bailouts as the US economy tanked.

La Raza aided and abetted risky federal and private-home loans to latinos over the last decade. thanks to the lending industry’s version of “don’t ask, don’t tell.”

In addition to millions of federal tax dollars, La Raza also collected a $1 million Democratic earmark that funded “community-development” projects. Analysts report that much of it went to "mortgage counseling."

(waiting for hysterical laughter to die down)

Course, I posted "Obama as a registered foreign agent" tongue-in cheek---
Could wind up I'm close to the truth. Needs to be explored.

CONNEXCTING THE DOTS---

Guatemalan President Otto Perez warns the US will be
inundated w/ even more contagious illegals if billions
of US tax dollars are not handed over.

GUATEMALA CITY (Reuters) - The United States should provide billions of dollars to help Central American nations curb the flow of illegal migrants, Guatemalan President Otto Perez said, and his government warns the problem will get worse if Washington fails to help.

Fleeing violence, trying to reach relatives already in the United States or seeking jobs, record numbers of child migrants from Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador have been stopped at the southern U.S. border this year, causing widespread alarm. Last month, the three countries pitched Washington an ambitious development plan to confront the issue.

They want to pump about $10 billion into the region to create jobs and lift living standards, with the bulk of funding coming from the United States, Perez told Reuters. He hopes the plan could come up with about $2 billion a year from 2015 to 2019, a sum he equated to roughly 10 percent of annual U.S. spending on border security and immigration enforcement.

"Now we understand it's not simply a question of the United States saying: 'Right, here's $2 billion a year for five years' for example - the governments of the three countries have to play their part too," the conservative Perez, who took power in early 2012, said in an interview late on Monday.

The US aid package would boost infrastructure and provide more jobs in all three countries, especially in areas that send large numbers of migrants to the United States, he added.

The three Central American governments are urging the United States to shoulder the lion's share of the costs, arguing that U.S. demand for illegal narcotics has fueled violence among drug gangs across much of the impoverished region.

"The United States has to support this, it has no other option," Guatemala's foreign minister, Carlos Morales, told Reuters. "If they don't support it, the crisis will kick off again, you can count on it."

Perez said he hoped the United States would put up about 60 percent of funding. "But we'll have to discuss it calmly and see what each individual country can do, and what can be achieved by common consent."

During meetings in New York in September, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry told Central American officials he hoped Congress could approve about $300 million in funding, Morales said, noting the sum was "nothing" given the scale of the problem.

Central American leaders are due to meet Vice President Joe Biden on Nov. 12 in Washington to sound out U.S. support for their plan, Morales added.--SNIP--

CONNECTING THE DOTS VP Biden Opens floodgates to Central America minors (US taxpayers to pay billions)

GUATEMALA NEWS REPORT TRANSLATION--- Minors in Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras will receive refugee status in the United States as of December, according to a plan announced by the country's vice president, Joe Biden, of the US capital plan (a week before Obama's E/O).

WASHINGTON DC -The presidents Otto Perez Molina, of Guatemala; Salvador Sanchez Ceren, in El Salvador, and Juan Orlando Hernandez of Honduras, welcomed the news that VP Biden gave at the forum "Investing in Central America: creating opportunities for growth", organized by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB).

VP Biden said that parents who are legal in the US, who live in the northern triangle of Central America, and have not tried to travel illegally to the north may request refugee status for their children .

Biden said: "This will provide alternatives to this dangerous journey that children sometimes start but do not finish. He is nursing safely and correctly. Do not forget that what we do at the end of the day is about dignity, it's about watching a child in the eye and tell him that everything will be fine."

Agencies reported after more requirements to qualify for this plan, as that will cover under 21 and unmarried, who must pass a strict process in their country of origin, with interviews and other requirements to enter the United States as refugees and reunite with their families.

Biden also said President Barack Obama will continue to pressure Congress for immigration reform, already approved by the Senate, but is awaiting the endorsement of the House of Representatives, said that is the "first choice."

"President Obama will not aside and act to end this year on a reform to improve our broken immigration system," he said. "My country has to deal with the unfinished business of bringing 11 million undocumented men, women and children out of the shadows and give them the dignity they deserve," said Biden.

PRESENTED DRAFT---Meanwhile, the leaders of Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras submitted the Plan for Prosperity Partnership of North Triangle to authorities and entrepreneurs. With this project, developed by the governments of the three countries, seeks to boost the productive sector to create economic opportunities, develop human capital, improve public safety and access to justice and strengthen institutions to increase confidence population in the State.

The plan contains four strategic areas: boosting the productive sector, developing human capital, improve public safety and access to justice, and strengthen institutions, developed with 15 lines of action....(subsidized by billions in US tax dollars).

Both VP Biden and IDB President Luis Alberto Moreno, offered support plan. Indeed, the multilateral organization is to be constituted as "technical secretariat" of the project to ensure its implementation and transparency.

In his speech, Brown urged all sectors to cooperate with the financing. "For the success of the plan will require contributions from all civil -a company actors, international community, the private sector and governments," stressed the head of the IDB.

Pérez Molina recalled that last August 31 to 50 000 unaccompanied minors were counted detained at US border. UU., From the North Triangle. The Honduran president said that children are not criminals, and asked that everyone involved in the project are put in as parents or grandparents, criticizing repatriations.

"A lack of opportunities in Central America, with many challenges, without the support, will be a Central that will be a huge risk for the US and for our people," said Hernandez. Also, Sanchez Ceren spoke about the plan: "It will require the will and determination to overcome obstacles by three presidents Development is not an easy path requires finding understandings combine interests, but the region needs. ".

VP Biden, Moreno and entrepreneurs attending the forum, the first on migration, emphasized that many of the plan's actions are "difficult", but you can achieve and will require political will.

Through a video-conference from Washington, Perez Molina said that VP Biden confided that in coming days the US president "will make an important statement about the actions that the Executive will take on the issue of migrants." He said that the decision taken by Obama and his team to provide legal status to thousands of children who have parents in that country. --SNIP--

Whatever radio news I was listening to last night clearly said he had signed two presidential memoranda on the plane. Didn’t sound like a slip of the tongue from “exec order”. I think the pubbies just got outfoxed.

> “REALITY CHECK It is being reported that he will issue orders and not sign an E/O. The Las Vegas rally was billed as the “E/O signing ceremony.” Anybody actually see it?”

Still not on the White House website where all EOs are listed:

http://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/executive-orders

Jane Long posted (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3229699/posts?page=22#22) that Fox News reported Obama signed two EO’s on Air Force One while on the ground in Las Vegas but I don’t think the reporting actually witnessed what was signed. It may have appeared to be EOs. I may be going too far on a limb of cynicism here but then look at this thread that was posted by WildHighlander in #24 above:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/3229811/posts

The comments in the above thread could be accurate.

We don’t have the text of the EO yet and Abbott’s office is on record as saying they will file in court as soon as possible after the EO is signed.

Pay close attention to Jane Long’s link to the Fox News report because I detect something that ties to the CARDS that is very concerning and is very characteristic of what Obama would do:

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/11/21/obama-signs-executive-action-delaying-deportations-for-millions-illegal

In the above Fox News link it is written that:

“During a 15-minute primetime speech Thursday, Obama said his administration will start accepting applications from illegal immigrants who seek the deferred actions.”

and:

“Those who qualify will be granted protections for three years, Obama said, as he laid out his sweeping plan to the public Thursday night from the East Room of the White House.”

Obama will start having information via application gathered on the illegals and this information can be used for the CARDS.

Further, Obama is granting only THREE years of reprieve to the illegals, why? I am guessing he is going to give his Community Organizers (now Community Service Officers) a short time to register the illegals to vote and that they better be voted for the democrat in 2016 else their legal status could be jeopardized in 2017.

The bottom line is that Abbott’s office needs to file SOON with or without the EOs to stop the CARDS via Temporary Federal Restraining Order or Preliminary Federal Injunction. These Federal Court Orders are not difficult to obtain as Abbott has standing in his position as Texas Attorney General or as Governor of Texas. And these orders can delay the CARDS for at least a year and possibly two.

Here’s the TEMPLATE link again for more information on how these Court Orders are assembled:
