Go ahead, Obama. Act on your own. I got your red line right here.
Prove that you believe yourself a king. Prove that the Constitution means nothing to you. Prove that you really think you’re a dictator. Prove you are a Marxist. Prove everything we’ve said about you is true.
Guarantee us a GOP Senate come November.
Obama has been threatening America with imperial unilateral action for some time on a number of issues.
A number of democrats are threatening America now as well. They want Obama to assume the mantle of emperor.
A growing chorus of House Democrats is calling on President Obama to take immediate steps to rein in deportations.
The president has delayed any executive action on the issue to allow House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) more time and political space to move immigration reform legislation this summer.
But with GOP leaders showing no appetite for bringing any such bills to the floor, more and more Democrats want Obama to expedite a unilateral response in the name of keeping immigrant families together.
First, it’s “illegal immigrants.” Second, it’s their own fault they’re not together, not ours. It has long been one of my axioms that democrats take someone else’s problems and make them ours. But keeping immigrant families together is a poorly constructed cover for the expansion of the dependent democrat base. Many democrats want amnesty. And they want it now, led by the little loudmouth Luis Gutierrez who always is screaming about something.
democrats are demanding immigration reform, as though there are no laws on the books now. Obama is refusing to enforce immigration laws as a means to bludgeon America into acceding to his demands. Make no mistake about what will happen if Congress passes an immigration bill.
Obama’s demand for an immigration bill is a Trojan Horse.
Obama will cherry pick from it what he wants and he will ignore whatever displeases him by issuing a signing statement. That is to say, if a bill has wording that stipulates a ten year waiting period to become a citizen, Obama will pare it down to a month and ignore whatever else he doesn’t like.
This is why Obama wants immigration reform and it’s why the GOP should give him nothing for the rest of Obama’s term.
Despite the noise some democrats, Americans do not favor amnesty. They want more illegals deported, not less.
The latest Rasmussen Reports asked that question and found that 52% of the people said that the US government is not being aggressive enough in deporting illegal aliens. The remaining 48% broke down as 22% agree with current level of deportation, 14% believe the government is too aggressive and 11% were undecided.
And they believe Obama is making things worse.
In the Rasmussen Reports survey taken last November, 54% of the people said that they believed the federal government actually encourages illegal immigration due to Obama’s policies and practices.
Americans overwhelmingly oppose amnesty.
People are angry and democrats either are underestimating it or they have given up all hope for November and seek to visit as much damage on the way out as possible. Things are so bad that even some democrat Senators are pushing back against Obama:
Senators told President Obama on Thursday that he must personally step up and make clear illegal immigrant children surging across the border will be quickly sent home, as the administration faces growing bipartisan pressure to get a better handle on the situation playing out in Texas.
Led by Sens. Jeff Flake, Arizona Republican, and Dianne Feinstein, California Democrat, more than three-dozen senators signed a letter saying Mr. Obama needs to “personally make clear” that those jumping the border will not get special treatment.
The senators, who covered the ideological and geographic spectrum, also demanded Mr. Obama tell the leaders of Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala they have a duty to dispel rumors that their citizens can gain legalization if they get to the U.S.
To no avail, it seems. Obamus Imperius lets us know he will continue to act without Congress.
Obama claims to be a Constitutional scholar, but I’m not sure to which Constitution Obama refers. He seems to believe that the President gets what he wants when he wants it just because he wants something. Uh uh. Obama must have studied the Venezuelan Constitution, because the United States Constitution doesn’t provide for that.
So go ahead, President Asshole. Take your best shot. Cross our red line. You don’t have America behind you this time.
Acting alone, what Obama would do is solidify the opposition, maybe even doing something no one could have imagined- cause sane democrats and the GOP to unite against a tyrant.
Waterloo.
DrJohn has been a health care professional for more than 40 years. In addition to clinical practice he has done extensive research and has published widely with over 70 original articles and abstracts in the peer-reviewed literature. DrJohn is well known in his field and has lectured on every continent except for Antarctica. He has been married to the same wonderful lady for over 45 years and has three kids- two sons, both of whom are attorneys and one daughter who is in the field of education.
DrJohn was brought up with the concept that one can do well if one is prepared to work hard but nothing in life is guaranteed.
Except for liberals being foolish.
I wonder how much more latitude he’s going to get before the real citizens of this country get enough…
Does the POTUS have complete control over the Executive Branch? When Bush/Cheney claimed that during wartime the POTUS has near unlimited powers you didn’t seem to find time to object.
As far as immigration goes under Bush the total illegal immiration population rose from 8 million to 12 million. Under Obama it has fallen to about 11 million.
One point one of the talking heads made yesterday could very well be supreme as to it’s affect on our future.
As our so called constitutional scholar has in effect proclaimed himself above the law more than once and in turn continues to enact policy pulled out of his ass on his own, one must remember that once any policy, asinine or not in in place, the length of time it takes to go through the hoops and barrels to overturn said policy can be far to long to overcome the effects of said policy.
Comrade Obama could care less about the Law of the Land and he sure as hell does not believe in our basic tenets as in regards to the Presidency. He is openly defiant and has assured all he will bury those “whiny Republicans” and their allies by “acting on his own”. In other words, he has every intention of enacting his country destroying policies no matter what!
It is a cold hard fact that this so called “worse Congress ever” has sent well over 250 pieces of legislation to the Senate (I’m not saying they were or weren’t great pieces of legislation, only that the lie as told by the President as to obstruction by the Republicans is just that, a lie) which refuses to even take an up or down vote on them, yet our benevolent dictator points the finger at the House rather than the real obstructionists. 1984 Doublespeak and rewriting of history at its finest!
I and others have been taken to task in the past for equating this guy with Hitler on more than a few levels. Yet one of Hitler’s ( and I’m afraid far to many politicians of all stripes) seems to be one of the golden rules Herr Obama has chosen to adhere to! Tell the big lie! Tell it over and over until it is engrained as the truth into the minds of a brain dead electorate! Obama and his minions have perfected this policy, apparently to the point of having a co-opted press marching in lockstep to give him cover.
Obama in his heart knows damned well that his Anti-American actions will take years to undo. Just look at the ruling the other day as to the NLRB. Does one think for one moment the government will immediately stop enforcing what have to now be Illegally mandated labor policies? Fat chance of that. They will stonewall and block any attempt at nullifying those illegal actions and they will become so engrained that in the end it will be almost impossible .
Obama has every intention of enacting his policy and one can see quite clearly he doesn’t give a damn what anyone else thinks. He thinks he can do it so he will. The consequences of his illegal and treasonous actions are going to be felt for years. He will continue to over reach, illegally enacting insane policies bent on the destruction of our basic ideals. Unfortunately, there does not appear to be enough spine on either side of the aisle to stand up for what is right.
If, as Nancy Pelosi said, “We’re all Americans”, why not just annex Mexico, Central and South America and Canada? In one fell swoop, no more illegal immigration and total amnesty. All border control would be pushed to the coastlines.
Sure, you’d inherit a few problems, but for total amnesty and open borders, what’s the issue with adding a few more Washington DC, Chicago’s, East LA’s, etc.?
I really appreciate you pointing out that we already have plenty of laws on the books that Obama ignores.
Passing ”immigration reform,” would, as you say, simply be another one Obama would pick-and-chose to obey.
You link to this:
[O]nly 3 percent of Americans support granting an illegal immigrant the right to live and work in the U.S.
They must all work in the WH or be Dems in office!
That’s a tiny minority!
But WHY is Obama pushing forward with this even after it exposes itself as bad for him politically as well as bad for those illegally crossing in?
Cloward-Piven.
Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven embraced (Saul) Alinsky Radicalism to advocate for the poor and down-trodden.
READ THEM.
They wrote:
The Nation magazine in the May 2, 1966 issue, The Weight of the Poor.
Not only does Obama own this ”strategy,” he is friends with Bill Ayres whose Weather Underground movement arose from the Cloward-Pivens via Sail A, and the SDS at college.
These are Obama’s roots.
Understand these roots and understand why Obama does the things he does.
@Nanny G:
What the progressives (who support this invasion by illegals) don’t understand is that this is going to be like turning the lights on only to watch the cockroaches scatter. It will affect every community in America, with the Hispanic communities being hit the hardest. How will the progressives then explain to their base why crime, higher taxes, ect has rapidly increased in their neighborhoods?
If you look at the photos of these illegal children, clearly some are of age, and well over 18. Border Patrol agents know that they have been instructed to say they are under 18, but some appear to be well into their 20’s. Well, here what happens when those “children” are put into school:
because of Plyer, we cannot deny them an education. But many of these “children” have barely seen the inside of a class room in their native lands. They are then, in the U.S., put into “age appropriate” classes (i.e. a 14 year old is entered as a freshman in high school). They speak little English, so beside picking up the tab for the increase in school population, they will require ESL teachers and tutors to try to bring them up to standards. All this increase in cost falls on the individual school districts, some of which are already strained to the breaking point.
In Texas, since our school are basically funded by home owners via their property taxes, this will require a substantial increase in property taxes.
Also, the schools are not allowed to ask for birth records, or shot records, from these “children.” So the possibility of disease running rampant in the schools is not only real, it is almost a certainty. Parents will be required to have their own children re-vaccinated for infectious diseases like whooping cough, measles, chick pox, TB, etc. We have already been told that many of these “children” are NOT being tested for diseases, instead, they are being spread out in states not able to really facilitate them.
By spreading them out, like the Administration is doing, it places the burden of expense on the states, and the taxpayers of those states, not the federal government. Cloward and Piven on steroids. These illegals will all require housing and food, and medical care as they have no income to pay for it themselves. Again, the states will be required, eventually, to pick up the tab.
John, you’re quoting government figures. In truth, no one knows what the total illegal immeration population actually is.
@john: they do say that ignorance is bliss.
@john: Under Bush, we had a booming economy. Under Obama, the economic prospects in Mexico are about the same as they are here. That has been his major contribution to controlling illegal immigration.
@joetote: Obama only studied the Constitution so he would know how to get around it.
@Scott in Oklahoma: The “real citizens” or at least forty percent of them don’t care. Most don’t know the Constitution from the Declaration of Independence. They have their EBT cards and Obama phones…that’s enough for them. Tocqueville called it in 1832…America would remain a republic until the politicians figured out they could bribe half the people with the money of the other half. It’s not pretty is it?
Obama just admitted that all along he could have had a larger percentage of ”border patrol” AT THE BORDER!!!
So, now he’s saying he’s going to send more of them to the border.
Oh, good.
He’s doing what he could have done all along!
If this stops the childrens’ crusade that will be a good thing.
If he lied and actually puts them there so they can be the ones letting the illegals in (because he realizes state forces and country forces would stop them) we will see that soon enough.
