Victory Girls:
There’s just about nothing that can seep from Barack Obama’s lying lips that can be even remotely believed. But when he says he will usurp power from Congress to unilaterally dictate immigration reform—read “amnesty”—we should take him at his word. Because he’s already proven he’s more than willing to shred our Constitution.
While Princess Nancy Photo Op runs for the border to wallow in the misery created by her boss and his reckless pen—a sea of foreign children and adults, bringing with them untold diseases, encouraged by the shiny lure of amnesty and freebies—the newest Jay Carney-esquetalking head is promising King PenPhone will yet again circumvent Congress and invoke blanket amnesty for those who’ve disrespected our laws. And he’s getting support to violate our Constitution from none other than D.C. Congressmen and women—who just yesterday stood in the way of real reform—willingly making themselves irrelevant, thus silencing the voices of the constituents who sent them there. From Representative Luis Gutiérrez:

From Representative Robert Menendez and Senator Dick Durbin:
“‘We’re at the end of the line,’ Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) said Thursday during a press briefing in the Capitol. ‘We’re not bluffing by setting a legislative deadline for them to act. Their first job is to govern,’ Menendez added, ‘and in the absence of governing, then you see executive actions.’
Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) piled on, noting that a year has passed since the Senate passed a sweeping immigration reform bill with broad bipartisan support, he urged House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) to bring a similar bill to the floor.
‘I don’t know how much more time he thinks he needs, but I hope that Speaker Boehner will speak up today,’ Durbin said. ‘And if he does not, the president will borrow the power that is needed to solve the problems of immigration.’”
There you have it. The executive branch of the most corrupt administration in our lifetimes—and it has some pretty stiff competition—has no intention of upholding its oath of office, heavy-handedly encouraged to violate our Constitution by our very own representatives. And because of its own lawless executive orders and refusal to enforceexisting law, it has directly caused the chaos we’re now witnessing on our southern border. It’s painted itself into a corner where neither party now believes the immigration issue will be (legally) addressed this session. It’s a dangerous place. Mr. Obama is the equivalent of a cornered animal, wielding the only weapon he has left: Executive orders. What will happen when—not if, but when—Barack Obama awards amnesty to the foreigners invading our country?
Uh, where is the “Borrow Power” clause in the Constitution?
Is OFraud going give the power back after he
” borrows” it? What an
ass hat. What a joke!
For saying he is a Constutional Scholar the ‘Won’ -Barry knows Zero…!!!
God help us!
Nothing would please me more than to see the tattooed, MS-13 sporting, “children” that are being released into the general population released in the neighborhoods of Menendez and Durbin. Let them deal with those gangbangers. Let them see their taxes raised to pay for extra police protection in order to protect their property.
Instead, Menendez and Durbin will be all for those gangbangers being released into the general public where the gangbangers will migrate to Hispanic neighborhood where they easily blend in. The very people Menendez spews his lies about trying to protect, will be the very people that Menendez will condemn to having to put up with even more crime, even more violence, even more hardships.
Hispanics do not want these “children” released and allowed to come into their neighborhoods unimpeded. And many Hispanics are waking up to the reality that Democrats do not care what happens to them.
Is Obama using The Camp of The Saints as a blue print for his plan to fundamentally transform America?
The Southern Border is wide open and the Dems, mostly, act as greeters. The Northern Border is strictly enforced. You can’t have the Keystone Pipeline sneak through and Border officials must harass snowbirds who want to winter in the deep south. Weekend shoppers are considered a nuisance. I know because I saw this for months while crossing the border on a daily basis. Your border security procedures are upside down. Your precedent should be enforcing existing law, not creating it. Without borders your country does not exist.
There is no borrowing power in the Constitution.
The fool pulled another one out of his butt.
Impeachment is in the Constitution
I think the message to Boehner is that he should get the House majority off their butts and make them do something constructive. They’re doing nothing themselves, and then attacking a Chief Executive who’s expected to somehow deal with the problems that they’re failing to address. They won’t take firm positions in anything more than talk because they’re political cowards.
@Greg:
Why do you think that the Congress must do nothing but pass bills that are unnecessary? Instead, you should be demanding that the Executive Branch enforce the laws that are already on the books. Instead, because of Obama’s failure to seal our borders (as his predecessors have also failed to do) we have not only a humanitarian crisis in Texas, but soon to have a health crisis as these illegals are being released into the general population while they are infected with disease.
Perhaps you would like to tell us what state you live in, and how you will NOT be affected by the influx of illegals currently crossing our border. Perhaps you also can tell us why Obama seems impotent to do anything about it. Wasn’t he billed as the Miracle Worker who would heal the planet and stop the rising of the seas?
@retire05, #7:
The existing laws are inadequate to the reality of the situation. Anyone thinking otherwise is out of touch with reality. Do you truly think it’s somehow possible to deport 11 to 12 million undocumented aliens without setting up camps and enforcement procedures that would rival those of Nazi Germany?
If you think so, and if you think this would be OK, why the hell didn’t you take care of it when you had a republican president in the White House and republican control of both houses of Congress?
Oh, right. Because at that point in time, a lot of wealthy republicans were making a bundle from the bottomless supply of illegal labor that would gladly work for substandard pay and zero benefits. I had momentarily forgotten about that.
@Greg:
Right, I had forgotten about that. Like the wealthy Republican Congresswoman from California who owns a vineyard in an area where over half of all vineyard workers are illegals, but where her vineyard workers are not allowed to join a union, nor are the workers in her tony restaurants. My gosh, I had almost forgotten about Nancy Pelosi.
How many illegals would stay Greggie, if they were not able to get jobs, or draw social welfare there would be no reason for them to stay. But instead, Democrats would rather see under-educated Americans do with out jobs while employers, on both sides of the aisle, hire illegals and pay them under the table as contract labor.
So you are advocating the Democrats and President Obama emulate the Republicans? I thought the whole idea of electing Obama was to do things differently from President Bush. Obviously not.
I love the liberal argument, “how can we do anything with 11 million illegals, the problem is just too big”….Yet these are the same people who want to enact strict gun control legislation nationwide because we can somehow control 300 million plus guns…
Unfortunately I live amongst people who think exactly like this..At least for 10 to 11 years more until I retire and can move out west
Want to talk about reality?
More undocumented aliens have been deported by the Obama administration than by any other presidential administration in the history of the United States. That’s a simple, straightforward fact, and it includes the Bush administration.
Any fixes of the underlying problems will have to come from Congress. But all Congressional republican leaders are doing is pointing an accusing finger at the president that has actually enforced existing rules to a greater degree than any of his predecessors.
This is how you earn a 13 percent job approval rating.
@Greg:
More of the Obama administration’s lie, parroted by, no surprise, by Geggie, FA’s main Obama cheerleader. Except……………………….
Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson acknowledged Tuesday that his department’s deportation numbers are now mostly made up of illegal immigrants caught at the border, not just those from the interior, which means they can’t be compared one-to-one with deportations under President Bush or other prior administrations.
The administration has argued it is tougher on illegal immigration than previous presidents, and immigrant-rights groups have excoriated President Obama, calling him the “deporter-in-chief” for having kicked out nearly 2 million immigrants during his five-year tenure.
But Republican critics have argued those deportation numbers are artificially inflated because more than half of those being deported were new arrivals, caught at the border by the U.S. Border Patrol. Previous administrations primarily counted only those caught in the interior of the U.S. by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
“Under the Obama administration, more than half of those removals that were attributed to ICE are actually a result of Border Patrol arrests that wouldn’t have been counted in prior administrations,” said Rep. John Culberson, Texas Republican.
“Correct,” Mr. Johnson confirmed.
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/mar/12/deportations-come-mostly-from-border-dhs-chief-say/
In ICEs own report:
ICE conducted 133,551 removals of individuals apprehended in the interior of the U.S.
ICE conducted 235,093 removals of individuals apprehended along our borders while attempting to unlawfully enter the U.S.
http://www.ice.gov/doclib/about/offices/ero/pdf/2013-ice-immigration-removals.pdf
So while the numbers turned away by the Border Patrol, at the border itself, was never counted in the deportation numbers by any previous Administration, Obama inflates his numbers by counting them. And Greggie parrots the Administration like the progressive uninformed always do.
Congress has repeatedly told Obama ”Border Security First, then Immigration Reform.”
Obama never listens.
The laws are there to secure the border but that’s not what Obama has our Border patrol doing.
Now Obama might ”borrow” some power to give amnesty to illegal children but how will he pay for them?
He already says the states need $2 billion just for the ones here already.
And he’s still leaving the door open!
He doesn’t have access to the purse strings just yet.
Congress can still starve his amnesty plan.
(Like when you tie off a skin flap.)
@retire05, #12:
You disapprove of the fact that those unlawfully entering the United States are being apprehended early and deported promptly? Deportation doesn’t count unless they’ve first been given a fair chance to take up residence in Des Moines, Iowa, or Buffalo, New York?
This might be an example of some sort of alternate reality republican logic. It’s the same sort of goofy reasoning that they apply to things like economics. For example: If a small tax cut produces a modest revenue increase, obviously dramatic tax cuts will produce dramatic revenue increases. If it doesn’t work out that way, it’s probably because taxes still haven’t been cut enough.
@Greg: Greg, Greg, Greg… The point is that those turned back at the border weren’t previously counted as deportations. You know. When a silly socialist wants to hide the damage he’s caused, he changes the formula for calculating success.
@Greg:
I’m not surprised that you are trying to redirect the conversation. But alas, Greggie, the issue was DEPORTATIONS, not those that are turned away. There is no wet foot, dry foot issue here.
Deportation has a very legal, and specific, connotation. Someone who is half way across the Rio Grand, but who sees Border Patrol agents waiting for them on the U.S. side, and decides to “turn away” to return to the Mexican side of the river are NOT deported. But yet, the dishonest Obama administration, unlike any previous administration, has decided to include those who “turned away” as part of the number of deportations.
How sad that you are such a parrot for the Obama administration that even when proven wrong, you cannot admit that the Obama administration is padding its numbers. Instead, you do your Dervish imitation to try to avoid admitting you were wrong.
I THINK THE MESSAGE BACK, TO THAT IGNORANT IS FOR SPEAKER BOEHNER to put on hold all imigration talks until the borders are closed thight enough that no one can physicaly pass, unless shot down after going through the last of barrior,
THUS REPEATING THE SAME DEMANDS TO THE PRESIDENT WHO FAIL AS HE ALWAYS DOES TO SERIOUSLY PHYSICALY MOVE ON THE PROJECT, WHICH CONTRIBUTE TO THE HORRIBLE SITUATION PUT IN THE HANDS OF THE BORDER OFFICERS NOW AS WE SPEAK,
WHO ARE FORCE TO SEE THE DRUG CARTEL FREELY GO THEIR WAY RIGHT AT THE DOOR OF THE USA,
@DaNang67, #15:
Yeah, right. During most of Bush’s two terms, most undocumented immigrants weren’t being turned back at the border to begin with. Any count of those that were would have been an embarrassment, when compared with the unprecedented growth of the undocumented population inside the United States during the same period.
Leave it to the Washington Times to spin the tale to the point where it’s totally forgotten that a population explosion of illegals took place from 2001 through 2008. With one paragraph they totally obscure the significant point—namely, that every illegal entrant taken into custody and deported at the point of entry means one less person is illegally living inside the United States.
@retire05, #16:
You can’t be deported unless you’re already in the country you’re being deported from. You have to have been taken into the custody, and then expelled. If this doesn’t happen, the illegal population inside U.S. borders will become one person higher.
Had the Bush administration done a better job at that point in the process, the undocumented population of the United States would be millions less. You apparently don’t like the fact that the Obama administration is making a much better job of it. Like anything positive the Obama administration is responsible for, it sticks in your craw and has to be negated.
@Greg:
BINGO, GREGGIE. You’re beginning to catch on. Including the numbers of those who have simply tried to enter the U.S. illegally, but were turned away while they were just half way across the river should not count in the deportation numbers, but the Obama administration counts them.
But Obama’s not making a much better job at it since his numbers of deportations are bogus.
How pathetic it must be for you to be so in the tank for a liar.
@retire05, #20:
You’re adding details and embellishments that weren’t actually part of what Johnson said. The Washington Times didn’t actually quote him, for that matter. Their assertion is their version of what he meant, and I’m pretty sure he didn’t mean that they were counting as deportations would-be illegal immigrants that were frightened away with stern looks. That’s the spin for consumption by the right-wing peanut gallery. They don’t seem to analyse such statements very closely.
The truth of the matter is that any who hadn’t become part of their deportation count would have been one additional illegal residing inside our borders. That is not irrelevant. Nor is it a success count that the previous administration could have claimed. The unprecedented growth of the illegal population during those years clearly testifies to that fact.
Do you know why people keep saying that a lot of the Obama administration’s current challenges date back to the Bush administration? It’s because a lot of them do.
@Greg:
Read it again, Greggie:
“Under the Obama administration, more than half of those removals that were attributed to ICE are actually a result of Border Patrol arrests that wouldn’t have been counted in prior administrations,” said Rep. John Culberson, Texas Republican.
“Correct,” Mr. Johnson confirmed.
Now, unless you can provide a link to the actual transcript of the hearing in which Jeh Johnson admitted that the numbers were being padded by the Obama administration, then I’m sticking with the information I have (which you would use if it disputed me but since it doesn’t, you refuse to accept it).
There are two type of systems used to kick illegals out of our nation; Removals and Returns. And your boy, Obama, just doesn’t stack up. Even the government web site shows that Obama is falling down on his job.
@Greg:
If that is the case, which it is not, it only proves how inept Obama has been in the last 5 1/2 years. Thanks for pointing that out.
@retire05, #23:
As pointed out, the Bush administration didn’t count or report illegal aliens taken into custody and deported at their point of entry, because it was doing such a piss poor job of taking them into custody at that point and deporting them. Undocumented immigrants were pouring across the southern border like a tidal wave. This accounts for the huge surge in the population of illegals during the Bush years.
Do you understand how this works? Every one that isn’t caught and deported at the point of entry—that is, in the vicinity of the border—becomes one more that successfully enters. They weren’t showing up in cities across the United States via teleportation.
I should probably put a reminder on the wall over my computer: “You can’t reason with nutters.”
@Greg:
Well, finally, you admit that those numbers were NOT included in the deportation reports put out by the Federal Government. Now, will you admit that Obama IS including those numbers?
Which has nada to do with the numbers the Feds report as deported. Poor Greggie, you’re so confused
