The President Takes Leadership Action Since Republicans Won't!

[daveman]

Really? So, wasn't he the same guy saying a fence wouldn't work? We have immigration laws for a reason! He had plenty of a choice. He could have obeyed the law instead of granting amnesty to millions of illegals. He chose to flout the Constitution, and as a result left himself with no other way out.

This is his own doing.

yes, and like everything else done by obama, we the people are being punished for his incompetence and lying.

Obama to Seek Over $2 Billion to Address Flood of Illegal Immigrants, Official Says | TheBlaze.com

Oh, he wants more money to fix the problem HE created.

Utterly, amazingly, astoundingly incompetent.

And remember, folks, this is Democrat "leadership".

 

[daveman]

Too many private property interests on the US side objected, until new legislation is enacted however, the President must work within existing law.

The point is he's not and that can not be explained away other that telling it like it is, he thinks he's above the law.

does that mean Congress is above the law if they don't give Obama the 2$ billion he plans to ask them for?

They're not obligated to, dumbass.

You morons need to understand something, although your blind worship of Dear Reader will not allow you.

Obama is subject to the law. He is not above it. He cannot create it. He cannot declare it doesn't apply to him.

He is a President. Not a king. Certainly not a god.

So stop ******* acting like he is, you morons.

How are you going to build a fence on a river, lake, mountain, or through tunnels? And how much will it cost? From Forbes, hardly a left wing site.

the bill to construct and maintain (for 25 years) a 700 mile fence to be $49 billion.

$2 billion a year? A bargain!!

We'll save multiples of that just by reducing the number of low-skilled illegals coming in each year.

And if we send back some of the millions already here, we could even make a dent in our idiotically huge deficit.

2B is to send the kids home ... 49$ eh ? apparently the right is lying when they carp about being broke,,

We could stop paying your unemployment.

Here's more proof of why President Obama had to take matters into his own hands and act on immigration since the Do-Nothing Republicans STILL won't budge an inch. But they did shut down the government. So, they can kiss their chances of capturing the White House in 2016 Goodbye. America Won't Forget Their Inaction and the Shut Down of the Government That Caused Many Americans Plenty of Heartaches.

Opinion: GOP left Obama no choice on immigration - CNN.com

Obama does not have the constitutional authority to change immigration laws. If he does, he has violated his oath of office and must be impeached.

There you go again with impeachment silliness. Only the president is not "changing" immigration laws, he's following existing law that Pres. George W. Bush signed when he was in office that protects immigrant children who come into this country. So, don't be accusing the president of anything but doing his job because the Republicans won't. If you have a bone to pick, go talk to the Do-Nothing Lazy Republicans who STILL won't do anything to pass Immigration Reform. In the meantime, many innocent children will suffer due to their inaction. Even Bush could see that those children needed to be protected.

And Gov. Rick Perry (of Texas) is very wrong in what he said when he went before a special committee in McAllen, which is in South Texas about 8 miles from the Mexican border and testified that the children need to be sent back immediately. No, Rick, that's another OOOPS! moment for you. They cannot be sent back once they're here. Bush's law PROTECTS them fully for what could be more than a year or two, possibly more. So, as governor of your red state, Rick, Understand that already!

For more on this issue, please look at the following short article that explains it best:

Law Protects Unaccompanied Children Crossing Border | NBC 7 San Diego

Immigration laws don't need to be reformed. They need to be enforced.

Liberals simply aren't serious about national security. They've thrown the entire nation under the bus pandering for votes.

Disgusting.

 

[daveman]

You're conveniently forgetting that it was Dubya Bush who signed the law to protect immigrant children. The President now has to follow that law and protect the children until the courts rule on what to do with them on a case-by-case basis as per that law.

I'll say this much, at least he had the balls to not make it an executive order.

The president only follows laws he likes, and breaks those he sees as irrelevant. Really? You act as if he is a president who sticks to every letter of the law. Newsflash, he doesn't. Obama's EO enforcing the DREAM Act brought down that deluge upon us, not some stupid law signed by President Bush.

One other thing: Bush isn't the president president anymore. I suggest you snap back to reality.

Hey! It's you who needs to snap back to reality and understand that if the Republicans had passed the Dream Act we might not be seeing this problem as there would be a good pathway to citizenship for many who are here.

There is a pathway to citizenship:

Go back to where you ******* came from and follow the laws.

You assholes who want illegals given citizenship are spitting in the face of every immigrant and naturalized citizen who followed the rules and worked hard to become a citizen.

Not that you give a shit about them.

 

[daveman]

Careful! You are very close to Sedition or right on it!

Maybe you should denounce him to the authorities, Comrade.

 

[Stephanie]

so we are the ones close to sedition

wow, and these are our fellow countrymen and women

people should be wary of Politicaltorch

I wouldn't trust him

 

[Wyatt earp]

does that mean Congress is above the law if they don't give Obama the 2$ billion he plans to ask them for?

Nope, congress controls the power of the purse, nothing can be spent without their say.

u
Yet Congressional Republicans are doing literally nothing to try to arrive at a good solution to this problem. Is it any wonder the president now has to step in and take some action. He can't just sit idly by while this is occurring. Why is there no uproar about Republicans REFUSING to work with the president to get something done about this? They are to blame by their inaction and that's not what their constituents sent them to Washington for. They expect for them to WORK! If they still don't then they need to Kick the Bums OUT!

Obams caused this mess with his E.O. in 2012 and now you want Republicans to clean it up?

how amazing is it ....Obama said we NEED immigration reform, I guess the laws we already had weren't' good enough for him

and just out the blue all these people start flooding our borders?

think about it

Fearless Leader doesn't enforce the ones we have now.

And makes up new ones to suit him as he goes along.

Why should we believe he'll enforce new ones?

He's been itching to grant a Shamnesty since he was a rookie Senator from Illinois.

Hell, he's been itching to grant a Shamnesty since he was workin' the Illinois legislative racket.

His May 1, 2006 speech to the First Annual March of the Illegals is rather telling.



One needn't strain overly-much to 'read between the lines' on that one.

And he hasn't changed his spots one iota since then.

Guaranteed.

Obama should bus them all to D.C . and tent a few thousand on them on White House lawn, Demorats are all ok with this shit as long as it is out of sight and mind and not in there back yard.

and its funny how Mexico who is very harsh on illegals crossing their territory "allowed" this to happen...

This is always funny to me....

Think about what you are saying. The Republicans opposed Obama.... which is what we on the right, want them to do. They shut down the government.... which again, we want them to do.

You then proclaim that they have no chance of winning the election..... even while listing examples of them doing what we who vote for them, want them to do.

Do you not see how backwards your logic is?

If the Republicans had supported, and pushed Obama policies.... that would be the opposite of what we want them to do. If they had kept the government running, by compromising, that would the opposite of what we wanted them to do.

Which one of those situations, am I more likely to vote for them?

Every single amnesty that has ever passed has led to an increase in ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS crossing our border to get in on the next amnesty. Obama, stupidly, signs the Dream Act as an Executive Order and now he's surprised at the number of children coming in?!?

Remind me again, what do you call someone who does the same thing over and over again and expects different results?

 

[PoliticalTorch]

President Obama had to take matters into his own hands

He should enforce our laws, seal our borders and send these illegals home.

If he does it quickly and in large enough numbers, parents will keep their children in their home country, instead of sending them on this dangerous journey.

I'll even applaud him for finally doing his job.

Only he can't send those illegals home once they're here, thanks to Geo. W. Bush, and here's why:

Could he have stopped them from coming in in the first place?

Has any Republican been successful in doing that as well?

Besides, I could have sworn this started after Obama made it clear he would no longer deport children.

He openly announced he would not deport young people..... well duh... young people started showing up by the bus load.

afterall, the republicans aren't doing anything

It is said that many of these children are fleeing drug related gang violence in their home countries. I suggest we send all of them the Chicago and they would probably pay there own way home. Problem solved.
