GOP reaction to Obama's immigration policy proves they are morons...

[TonyStark]

...or just extremely dishonest.

Him using his power as the head of the executive branch to decide how best to execute laws is not unconstitutional, it is him doing his job.

Furthermore, the resources available only allow him to deport so many people. He was already using his executive discretion to prioritize deporting criminals. He wasn't going to deport the millions of people he's promised to protect anyway.

Obama played it perfectly by announcing it like he did. Not only is it a logical and moral policy (that he was already pretty much doing), he's also baited the racist whackos in the GOP to come out strongly against it. If they had any brains at all they would have just ignored him.

Hopefully, they will continue to make a big deal out this and try everything they can to stop it. Should really help their image to go after millions of poor minorities that the President is protecting. And they will look weak and foolish because they don't actually have the power to stop him from doing this. Any challenges with the courts will be tossed out as he actually does have the legitimate power to do it. Even if they somehow pass a bill invalidating it, Obama can just veto it. They could try to remove him from office. I would love to see that but I can't imagine that even they are that stupid.

The next president can change the policy, obviously. I hope whichever clown gets the GOP nomination promises to do just that.

The reaction of people like you prove you to be crazed morons who care more about opposing the President than reality.

I hope you whackos get angrier and angrier and actually try to remove Obama from office for doing this. If so, this would prove to be one of the greatest political maneuvers ever.

Great! We can get rid of Congress and the Supreme Court and Ayatollah Obola can run things his way. Next we can all quit work and do away with jobs, go on welfare and food stamps and live in Utopia for ever and ever.

Sometimes you can tell when a thread will quickly degenerate into a bunch of angry people putting forth sincere effort in coming up with the nastiest, ugliest, most hateful possible personal insults and vomiting them onto the screen at each other.

This will be one of many, I suspect. Why are so many people like this?

Your handlers not to long ago called you stupid.
Ask gruber he said it several times.

 

[Flopper]

There is really nothing republicans can do about the executive order which is why they are so pissed. The executive order puts immigration on center stage. Like healthcare, republicans have never wanted to deal with it.

The stage is set for more repeals of Obamacare, immigration bills that don't address undocumented immigrants, bills that chip away at abortion rights and of course bills to serve their corporate masters such as corporate tax reform, keystone pipeline, etc...

His policy is whatever Valerie tells him to do. The man is an empty fucking suit.

 

[occupied]

Their reaction has been carefully rehearsed for months. Anyone acting all shocked and outraged is being terribly disingenuous, they have had all year to get used to the idea that the president was going to do this.

Keep thinking that twice elected President of the United States (ie the head of the executive branch of the government) using his power to determine how to best execute laws makes him a dictator, or is even usual.

The next two years should be fun to watch.

You don't get it do you numb nuts? The creator of obamacare called you stupid and that doesn't seem to bother you in the least.

The Pinocchio Test
The president has certainly been consistent on this issue—until he saw that the path through Congress was blocked. It’s clear from the interviews that the president was not being asked about executive orders that would have provided comprehensive immigration reform, but about specific actions that ended deportations of a subset of illegal immigrants—precisely the type of action he will shortly unveil.

Previously he said that was not possible, using evocative language that he is not a “king” or “the emperor.” Apparently he’s changed his mind. The president earns an upside-down Pinocchio for his flip-flop.

They can try, but Obama can tell them to fuck off with a stroke of a pen.

Deciding to not faithfully execute the law is unconstitutional.

Good luck trying to convince the courts that him deciding focus on deporting criminals is unconstitutional given that he couldn't deport every undocumented immigrant even if he wanted to and thus has no choice to prioritize.

If you take what he said back then in context he was being truthful about not being able to change the existing laws.

But no one expects honesty and integrity from the extreme right when it has anything to do with Obama.

Ironic given how many flame threads against Obama you have started in the Politics forum.

"GOP reaction to Obama's immigration policy proves they are morons.....or just extremely dishonest."

It demonstrates that most on the right are indeed dishonest and ignorant, likely willfully.

There is established and settled precedent of previous presidents taking the same action.

The president's action is in accordance with Federal law authorizing him to use prosecutorial discretion, the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996.

And the president's order comports with Constitutional case law recognizing the authority of the Executive to engage in the practice of deferred action with regard to the prosecution and deportation of undocumented immigrants for humanitarian reasons (see Reno v.
American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (1999)).

Consequently the right's opposition to the president's action is subjective and partisan, devoid of merit or fact, motivated solely by conservative animosity toward the president.
