Angst grows over Obama’s plans for action on immigration
Angst over President Obama's post-election plans on immigration is growing amid revelations that the U.S. Citizen and Immigration Service (USCIS) has issued a procurement request for as many as 34 million work permits and green cards.
“This revelation provides startling confirmation of the crisis facing our Republic,” said Senate Budget Committee Chairman Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) “The president is preparing to issue work authorization and ‘legal’ status to millions of individuals illegally present in the country, in violation of plain statute.”
The Alabama lawmaker added that the executive action looked poised to “nullify the immigration laws of the United States and its sovereign people.”
Similar speculation has lit up the conservative blogosphere, with many seeing it as an early sign of the administration’s plans after the midterm elections.
Bob Dane, a spokesman for the Federation for American Immigration Reform, told Watchdog.org the president appears “to be getting his ducks in a row” before offering amnesty to illegal immigrants.
“It’s another petulant display of contempt of Congress,” he said.
President Obama postponed action on immigration until after the elections, saying he was worried that acting in the summer could politicize the issue. The move was also seen as a gift to vulnerable Senate Democrats who were worried executive action could motivate Republican voters to turn out at the polls.
Support for executive action on immigration does not poll as well as immigration legislation approved by Congress, and the White House has offered no specifics on its post-election plans.
An Economist/YouGov survey released earlier this month showed 53 percent of Americans disapproved of the president’s handling of immigration — worse than any other policy issue.
Still, senior presidential adviser Dan Pfeiffer told reporters at a Christian Science Monitor breakfast earlier this year that Obama would proceed with a “very significant” executive action.
And the president himself has hinted that he could look to expand access to work visas and green cards.
The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services on Friday threw open the door to as many as 100,000 Haitians, who will now move into the United States without a visa. Sen. Chuck Grassley, Iowa Republican, rightly and accurately denounced enabling Haitians awaiting a U.S. visa to enter the country and legally apply for work permits as “an irresponsible overreach of the executive branch’s authority.” - See more at: PAPER Obama Plans to Open Immigration Floodgates - Tea Party News

Obama once said he wanted to transform America. He's waiting until after the midterms to do just that. This man has to be stopped. We have to vote the Democrats out of office, whether we vote for Independents or Republicans, it's our nation that is in in peril.
