'We Will Not Engage': Michele Bachmann Reveals GOP Plans to Ignore Executive Amnesty

I don’t know what you expect. They don’t have any power here. No democrat is going to override Obama on this and Obama certainly is not going to sign any bills that overturn this decision. They have no power and the only thing that would happen if they kicked and screamed about this is that the republicans would look like petulant children.
This is a good thing for the right – it means they are learning from their mistakes over the last few years and are going to step up to the plate. We will see how far they actually take that though.

I would like to see them take some measures to make sure this cannot happen again, regardless of the lean of the president. It's bogus and disgusting. And if anyone for one minute thinks this is meant to "help" illegal immigrants, then they are fools. This is meant to increase the dem voting block. How vile they are!

I absolutely agree ... but there is only one way to prevent this from happening in the future, and that is to marshal the forces necessary to stop it now.Once the bell is rung, you can't un-ring it.

“Some measures.”


How fantastically vague. What measures would you like them to take that woud stop this from ever happening again.

Well, I believe this "amnesty" was done before by a republican president in the past. I just don't want it to happen again. They are being rewarded with citizenship for breaking the law when they should be punished. They are criminals who have entered our country illegally, and we don't know what they've done in their prior countries either. The whole thing is disturbing.

I don't know. I'm not a politician. And FaQ.
 
What measures COULD they take to prevent any other presidents from granting amnesty (and prevent them from circumventing such rules/laws/regulations)? Would they do it? I doubt it, because both parties are basically the same slimy crapsters. The other party probably doesn't want to miss out on their opportunity to grow their voting block either. :rolleyes-41:
 
It goes directly against the Constitution. The federal government is supposed to protect us from foreign invaders, and that is what illegal immigrants are. Anyone who enters the country illegally is a foreign invader.
 
Of course it constitutes amnesty, it's PPREVENTING THEM FROM BEING DEPORTED.... AS THE LAW STIPULATES, Shyster, you're a bigger phony than most Progs in here!
Yes, of course it's amnesty. Anything less than deportation = amnesty. Liberal clowns come up with their own definition of amnesty, and then expect everyone to agree with it. :laugh:

kinda like marriage.

The issue of amnesty is one discussion ... but the real crime here is the WAY in which its being done. That has more potential to damage the union than anything that has happened in the last 6 years.
 
"'We Will Not Engage': Michele Bachmann Reveals GOP Plans to Ignore Executive Amnesty"

At least Bachmann is consistent in her ignorance, stupidity, and propensity to lie, given the fact the president's order in no way constitutes 'amnesty.'

Consequently republicans are at liberty to look ridiculous, and 'ignore' something that doesn't exist.
President Obama has rolled out his executive action on immigration with a talking point that guts the meaning of a word for political ends. As a general rule, democracies should take notice when their leaders do this.

I suspect the amnesty would have been a Republican policy sooner or later anyway.

Obama may have done the Republicans a favour here.
When you move to this country and become a citizen you can speak your mind on what is and is not, until then shut the fuck up.
 
Shooting themselves in the head...again! No GUTS, No GLORY!

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn) revealed on Saturday that Republican leadership, led by Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-Oh), has no intention of resisting President Obama’s executive amnesty that he ordered on Thursday.

Breitbart News Executive Chairman Steven K. Bannon asked the congresswoman, who was a guest on Breitbart News Saturday Sirius XM Patriot channel 125, “Has there been any firm commitment from the leadership of the Republican party saying that this amnesty is not going to happen?” Bachmann replied with a question, “Do you want the truth? Okay, I’ll tell all of Breitbart listeners what happened this week. I was floored!”

In the weekly meeting called “Republican Conference” in the House of Representatives, “we all knew that the big issue for the week was going to be the president announcing his amnesty,” she explained. Bachmann recounted that all of the leadership went to the microphone, including John Boehner.

“They acted as though the amnesty issue wasn’t even an issue. They said that the President is going to do what he’s going to do, and we are not going to get down in the mud with him. We are not going to engage, and what we are going to do is to talk about our positive solutions on jobs, the economy, education, and manufacturing,” Bachmann said.

She added that each congressman who spoke reiterated that not engaging Obama and staying positive was a “brilliant strategy.”

"We will not engage," she reiterated with disgust.

We Will Not Engage Michele Bachmann Reveals GOP Plans to Ignore Executive Amnesty

While I'm very unhappy with this turn of events and am totally against illegal immigration, I don't want the government to shut down or there to be grid lock. That helps no one at all IMO. We need to work to make sure this type of thing doesn't happen again, IMO.
If the government shuts down it's not spending money let it shut down,
Hang all the bastards.

Aside from the fact that I find it hard for anyone to believe what comes out of Bachmann ' s mouth, I guarantee you the republicans will do as little as possible on immigration.

I hadn't realised you were in charge here, BigReb.

When you are - you can have a voice on who posts here. Otherwise, your words have about as much weight as a sparrow fart in a particularly smelly typhoon.
