what is wrong with them staying in Mexico, what is wrong with them staying in their own country? how is this US TAXPAYERS problem? do you not hold this administration accountable for anything?

How exactly do YOU hold this administration accountable for what is happening in other nations? Was Obama supposed to travel to all of the central american nations and order the children to stay at home? Was he supposed to invade those nations so that the Marines could take down the smugglers?

Where do you draw the line at blaming Obama for everything that happens in the world? Is he responsible the shooting down of the jet over the Ukraine and the ISIS insurgency in Iraq and the fighting over the Tripoli airport and the rockets from Gaza?

Our nation is governed by THREE co-equal branches. When one branch sits on it's ass and does nothing at all about a known impending crisis then that is where the blame belongs. Your own link shows that the House had ample warning to avert this problem but they did nothing whatsoever. They WANTED this crisis to happen so that people like you would blame Obama.

You didn't answer my question, how did this administration FORSEE this happening back in January? why is it our problem what is happening in their country that we should just open our doors and pay for them when they come here.

Ever heard of intelligence? I appreciate that it might not be something that you have encountered before but gathering intelligence about what is happening elsewhere in the world is SOP for most nations.

But having gathered this intelligence what use is it to anyone? That is where intelligence analysts play a role. That look at this intelligence and make predictions on what is likely to happen in the future. Those predictions are scrutinized and if they pass muster they are compiled into reports and provided to government leaders. That would include not only the POTUS but also the Senate and House Majority and Minority leadership.

That enables those in power to take pre-emptive actions that might threaten this nation.

However Speaker Boehner is on the record as stating that he refused to take any action on Immigration Reform even though he had full foreknowledge of what was going to happen.

Right-Wing Media Cheer More GOP Obstruction Of Immigration Reform
Research ››› November 14, 2013 4:17 PM EST ›››

Conservative media are applauding House Speaker John Boehner's (R-OH) decision to refuse negotiations on immigration reform between the House and Senate, which likely means the end of comprehensive immigration reform this year. This decision comes after months of right-wing media telling Republicans to obstruct any and all action to pass comprehensive immigration legislation.

House Speaker Boehner Rejects Talks With Senate On Immigration Reform

Boehner: "I'll Make Clear We have No Intention Of Ever Going To Conference On The Senate bill." As The New York Times reported:

Signaling an end to the push for major immigration legislation this year, Speaker John A. Boehner on Wednesday ruled out negotiations between the House and the Senate on an expansive immigration overhaul similar to one approved by the Senate with bipartisan support in June.

And yes, the Conservative Media was applauding this failure to deal with an impending crisis.

What is more the right was "blaming Obama" long before this crisis came about.

Boehner: Immigration reform stalls because GOP has ‘widespread doubt’ about Obama

A week after signaling that House Republicans would pursue an overhaul of immigration laws, Speaker John A. Boehner declared Thursday that his caucus is unlikely to move forward until President Obama gains their trust.

“There’s widespread doubt about whether this administration can be trusted to enforce our laws,” Boehner (R-Ohio) said during a midday news conference at the Capitol. “And it’s going to be difficult to move any immigration legislation until that changes.”

Boehner was making his first extended public remarks since releasing a list of GOP “standards” for immigration policy at a conference retreat last week. His attempt to place the burden on Obama illustrated the mounting opposition from hard-line conservatives and laid the groundwork for blaming the White House if a deal fails.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) said this week that an immigration deal remains a long shot in a sharply divided Congress. Rep. Raúl R. Labrador (R-
Idaho) suggested that Boehner could lose his speakership if he pursues a bill in a midterm election year.

Aides emphasized that Boehner remains committed to immigration reform and said he raised concerns about Obama because they had emerged as a consensus during the retreat. But his remarks drew rebukes from advocacy groups frustrated by the verbal zigzags of a speaker who has spent 15 months calling immigration a top priority while refusing to bring any legislation to the House floor.

I hold this administration accountable for doing its' job just as I hold the SCOTUS and Congress accountable for doing their respective jobs.

What I don't do is lay blame where it doesn't belong because that is not only counterproductive but it results in aggravating the partisan divide.

As an Independent I have the freedom to criticize and praise as necessary but in order to do that I need the facts. I can dismiss the partisan rhetoric and the self serving agendas and look at how actions and failures to act impact We the People as a whole.

It is from that perspective that I make my calls.

» 100 Reasons To Impeach Barack Obama Alex Jones' Infowars: There's a war on for your mind!

1. Appointment of a “shadow government” of some 35+ individuals termed “czars” who are not confirmed by the Senate and respond only to the president, yet have overarching regulatory powers – a clear violation of the separation of powers concept. Obama bypassed the Senate with many of his appointments of over 35 “czars.”

2. No congressional support for Libyan action (violation of the War Powers Act ). Obama lied to the American people when he said that there were no US troops on the ground in Libya and then later said they were only “logistical troops.” Obama violated the War Powers Act of 1973 by conducting a war against Libya without Congressional authorization.

3. Betraying of allies ( Israel and Great Britain. Obama has placed the security of our most trusted ally in the Middle East, Israel, in danger while increasing funding to the Palestinian Authority (Fatah, just another Islamic terrorist group) whilst they have enjoined a reconciliation pact with long-standing terrorist group Hamas and the disclosure of British nuclear secrets to the Russians in the Start Treaty. Obama gave missile codes to British Trident missiles to Russia.

4. Backdoor implementation of the DREAM Act which would grant 22 million illegals amnesty. Obama passed the Dream Act through an executive order, bypassing Congress again. DREAM is: Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors

5. Telegraphing troop reductions to enemies – against the consult of his experienced field commanders – while embracing negotiations with our enemy, the Taliban, and recognizing another, the Muslim Brotherhood.

Married, hot brilliant wife, two children, and the first-black man to become US President. Ya, he's a huge failure.

Hot wife? Really? You actually think Michelle Obama is hot?

Impeach Obama President of the United States of America | Petition2Congress

Impeach Obama President of the United States of America

According to the Constitution of the United States of America, Article 2, Section 1, "No Person except a "Natural Born Citizen", or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the signing of this Constitution, shall be eligible to hold the Office of President."

Whereas, The Second Session of the First Continental Congress, back in March of 1790, defined "Natural Born Citizen" to mean a child born of two parents who must both be American Citizens”;and

Whereas, The wording of the definition of “Natural Born Citizen” as established by our First Continental Congress in 1790 states: "And the children of "citizens" of the United States, that may be born beyond sea, or out of the limits of the United States shall be considered as natural born citizens; Provided, that the right of citizenship shall not descend to persons whose fathers have never been resident in the United States."

Whereas, Our Constitution is the supreme law of the land and the written will and authority of We the People; and

Whereas, We the People contend that Barack H. Obama, AKA Barry Soetoro, has failed to meet the requirement necessary to hold the office of President of the United States of America; and

Whereas, Mr. Barack H. Obama, AKA Barry Soetoro, failed to disclose his Indonesian citizenship and hid the fact that he had previously renounced his U.S. citizenship; and

Whereas, The law requires that such persons who want to regain their U.S. citizenship, upon reaching the age of 18, must go before the appropriate US State Department and apply for re-instatement of citizenship, and swear allegiance to the United States of America; and

Whereas, Mr. Barack H. Obama, AKA Barry Soetoro failed to confirm his allegiance to the United States of America upon his 18th birthday as prescribed by law; and

Whereas, Mr. Barack H. Obama, AKA Barry Soetoro was still using his Indonesian citizenship to gain entry into Pakistan in 1981; and

Whereas, Mr. Barack H. Obama, AKA Barry Soetoro, did not disclose his Indonesian citizenship, and has failed to affirm his allegiance to the United States of America and has withheld that from the American public; and

Whereas, The House and Senate has failed to act on this matter and abide by and honor the Constitution of the United States of America and failed to honor their pledge to defend our Constitution; and Therefore, We the People demand that the House Judiciary Committee take immediate action to remove the usurper, Mr. Barack H. Obama, AKA Barry Soetoro, from unlawfully and unconstitutionally holding the office of President of the United States of America.

Be it further resolved that, the House Judiciary Committee start an immediate investigation into Mr. Barack H. Obama, AKA Barry Soetoro to determine his true citizenship, and this investigation be followed by removing said usurper Mr. Barack H. Obama, AKA Barry Soetoro, from the Office of President of the United States of America.

 

[HenryBHough]

I REPEAT my earlier warning:

Impeach Obama and you get Joe Biden for the remainder of Our Apologist-in-Chief's term plus he (Biden) will be elected by The Democrat Party's dependent voters to two more terms.

Wait Him out and go for a treason prosecution.

Besides, if He's found guilty, the punishments are much more entertaining to watch!

 

[Freewill]

Meanwhile, still no citations from the right as to any 'crimes' committed by the president justifying 'impeachment.'

Gosh you just keep saying the same stuff regardless.

As I pointed out, his use of drones to murder at least 4 Americans without due process is more then high enough crime. He won't be, so don't worry, America has lowered the moral bar so low that few care anymore what happens to Americans let alone brown skinned Americans.

so how did they FORSEE this surge and why did we have to take it on?
what is wrong with them staying in Mexico, what is wrong with them staying in their own country? how is this US TAXPAYERS problem? do you not hold this administration accountable for anything?

How exactly do YOU hold this administration accountable for what is happening in other nations? Was Obama supposed to travel to all of the central american nations and order the children to stay at home? Was he supposed to invade those nations so that the Marines could take down the smugglers?

Where do you draw the line at blaming Obama for everything that happens in the world? Is he responsible the shooting down of the jet over the Ukraine and the ISIS insurgency in Iraq and the fighting over the Tripoli airport and the rockets from Gaza?

Our nation is governed by THREE co-equal branches. When one branch sits on it's ass and does nothing at all about a known impending crisis then that is where the blame belongs. Your own link shows that the House had ample warning to avert this problem but they did nothing whatsoever. They WANTED this crisis to happen so that people like you would blame Obama.

Obama suspended the deportation of children, thus sending out the message and giving the impression that if children could make it to the border, they would be allowed to stay.

If this son of a bitch goes completely rogue with some completely unacceptable immigration executive order, then I'm for taking extreme measures to get rid of this bastard once and for all !!

Impeachment has been talked about quite a bit lately, and although polls show that most Americans are against such drastic action, I think you'll see a lot more Americans get onboard for impeachment should he take action that rewards these illegals for breaking into our house. Will it be a majority ? Probably not, but it will be a sizeable percentage that will be wanting him out.
Again, it all depends on how draconian his actions are, but notice in the article it states “very significant” executive action on immigration."


Obama will take executive action on immigration after summer, adviser says

Washington — President Obama will go ahead with a “very significant” executive action on immigration after the summer – a move that may well trigger impeachment proceedings against him, senior Obama adviser Dan Pfeiffer told reporters at a Monitor breakfast Friday.

“The president acting on immigration reform will certainly up the likelihood that [Republicans] would contemplate impeachment at some point,” said Mr. Pfeiffer, who has been at the Obama White House since its inception.

A lot of people in Washington laughed off Sarah Palin’s call to impeach the president for executive overreach, Pfeiffer said, but “I would not discount that possibility.” Polling shows strong support for the idea among the GOP base, he said, adding that House Speaker John Boehner (R) of Ohio has opened the door to the possibility with his lawsuit against Obama.


Speaker Boehner has flatly denied an interest in impeachment, saying, “I disagree” with those who support it. Next week, the GOP-controlled House is expected to pass a resolution to sue the president for executive overreach on the Affordable Care Act, or “Obamacare.”


“This is a fundraising exercise for Democrats,” said Boehner spokesman Michael Steel in an e-mail response to Pfeiffer’s impeachment comments. “It is telling, and sad, that a senior White House official is focused on political games, rather than helping these kids and securing the border."

In 2012, Obama signed a memo authorizing deferred action on the deportation of certain children of illegal immigrants – the so-called “DREAMers.” Republicans cite it as an example of executive overreach and say it has encouraged the influx of unaccompanied minors from Central America. Tea party favorite Sen. Ted Cruz (R) of Texas has urged his colleagues to reject emergency funding for the current border crisis unless the Obama administration rolls back the deferred action.

But while some may have thought the child-migrant crisis might discourage the president from further executive action on immigration, it is having the opposite effect. It has raised awareness of immigration as an issue and increased “the urgency” that the public feels in fixing it, Pfeiffer said. That gives the administration “broad permission” to take action, he said.

Given the “broken Congress,” Pfeiffer said, Obama plans to move ahead with another action after he hears advice from the attorney general and the Homeland Security secretary. His criteria will be that any executive action be on “solid legal footing” and have maximum impact.

Immigrant groups want the president to use his “prosecutorial discretion” to extend temporary protection from deportation to the millions of illegal migrants who would have qualified for a “path to citizenship” under the Senate’s bipartisan immigration reform, which has gone nowhere in the House. Politico reports he’s considering subsets of that group, based on criteria such as family ties, how long they have been in the country, and work history.

The White House, Pfeiffer said, is also considering what impact an action could have on the politics of reform going forward.

After the announcement of an action, he said, Republicans will have a choice: “Are they going to go back and try to pass comprehensive immigration reform – [after] which the president will rip up whatever executive action he does the day they pass that? Or are they basically going to set themselves up for the next two and a half years here to be arguing to elect a Republican in order to deport all these people?”

On the child-migrant crisis, Pfeiffer said Obama still supports changing a 2008 child-trafficking law that has become a sticking point in his request to Congress for $3.7 billion in emergency funding. That law has had the unintended effect of creating a huge backlog of immigration cases for unaccompanied minors in the courts. Republicans and some Democrats in Congress support changing the law to expedite the cases and deportations, but many Democrats say changing the law would deprive endangered children of their due process.

The administration is talking with members of Congress about a change. But that issue, Pfeiffer said, should not hold up funding.

On a related issue, he neither denied nor confirmed a New York Times account that the White House is considering a plan to accept refugees from Honduras whose applications are processed in that country.
