Amnesty is here [Reader Post]

Seeking to import as many voters as possible, Barack Obama has put the brakes on border control:

President Barack Obama’s administration is quietly offering a quasi-amnesty for hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants, while aiming to win reelection by mobilizing a wave of new Hispanic voters, say supporters of stronger immigration law enforcement.

The new rules were quietly announced Friday with a new memo from top officials at the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency. The “prosecutorial discretion” memo says officials need not enforce immigration laws if illegal immigrants are enrolled in an education center or if their relatives have volunteered for the US military.

This a back door implementation of the DREAM Act. Obama is either oblivious to the fact that such an invasion would only add to unemployment rolls or he just couldn’t give a damn in his eagerness to be re-elected.

“They’re pushing the [immigration] agents to be even more lax, to go further in not enforcing the law,” said Kris Kobach, Kansas’ secretary of state. “At a time when millions of Americans are unemployed and looking for work, this is more bad news coming from the Obama administration… [if the administration] really cared about putting Americans back to work, it would be vigorously enforcing the law,” said Kobach, who has helped legislators in several states draft local immigration-related laws.

This action is welcomed by La Raza. Here are 15 things you should know about La Raza:

15. “The Race” supports driver’s licenses for illegal aliens.

14.”The Race” demands in-state tuition discounts for illegal alien students that are not available to law-abiding U.S. citizens and law-abiding legal immigrants.

13. “The Race” vehemently opposes cooperative immigration enforcement efforts between local, state, and federal authorities.

12. “The Race” opposes a secure fence on the southern border.

11. “The Race” joined the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee in a failed lawsuit attempt to prevent the feds from entering immigration information into a key national crime database — and to prevent local police officers from accessing the data.

10. “The Race” opposed the state of Oklahoma’s tough immigration-enforcement-first laws, which cut off welfare to illegal aliens, put teeth in employer sanctions, and strengthened local-federal cooperation and information sharing.

9. “The Race” joined other open-borders, anti-assimilationists and sued to prevent Proposition 227, California’s bilingual education reform ballot initiative, from becoming law.

8. “The Race” bitterly protested common-sense voter ID provisions as an “absolute disgrace.”

7. “The Race” has consistently opposed post-9/11 national security measures at every turn.

6. Former “Race” president Raul Yzaguirre, Hillary Clinton’s Hispanic outreach adviser, said this: “U.S. English is to Hispanics as the Ku Klux Klan is to blacks.” He was referring to U.S. English, the nation’s oldest, largest citizens’ action group dedicated to preserving the unifying role of the English language in the United States. “The Race” also pioneered Orwellian open-borders Newspeak and advised the Mexican government on how to lobby for illegal alien amnesty while avoiding the terms “illegal” and “amnesty.”

5. “The Race” gives mainstream cover to a poisonous subset of ideological satellites, led by Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan, or Chicano Student Movement of Aztlan (MEChA). The late GOP Rep. Charlie Norwood rightly characterized the organization as “a radical racist group . . . one of the most anti-American groups in the country, which has permeated U.S. campuses since the 1960s, and continues its push to carve a racist nation out of the American West.”

4. “The Race” is currently leading a smear campaign against staunch immigration-enforcement leaders and has called for TV and cable news networks to keep immigration enforcement proponents off the airwaves — in addition to pushing for Fairness Doctrine policies to shut up their foes. The New York Times reported that current “Race” president Janet Murguia believes “hate speech” should “not be tolerated, even if such censorship were a violation of First Amendment rights.”

3. “The Race” sponsors militant ethnic nationalist charter schools subsidized by your public tax dollars (at least $8 million in federal education grants). The schools include Aztlan Academy in Tucson, Ariz., the Mexicayotl Academy in Nogales, Ariz., Academia Cesar Chavez Charter School in St. Paul, Minn., and La Academia Semillas del Pueblo in Los Angeles, whose principal inveighed: “We don’t want to drink from a White water fountain, we have our own wells and our natural reservoirs and our way of collecting rain in our aqueducts. We don’t need a White water fountain . . . ultimately the White way, the American way, the neo liberal, capitalist way of life will eventually lead to our own destruction.”

2. “The Race” has perfected the art of the PC shakedown at taxpayer expense, pushing relentlessly to lower home-loan standards for Hispanic borrowers, reaping millions in federal “mortgage counseling” grants, seeking special multimillion-dollar earmarks, and partnering with banks that do business with illegal aliens.

1. “The Race” thrives on ethnic supremacy — and the elite sheeple’s unwillingness to call it what it is. As historian Victor Davis Hanson observes: “[The] organization’s very nomenclature ‘The National Council of La Raza’ is hate speech to the core. Despite all the contortions of the group, Raza (as its Latin cognate suggests) reflects the meaning of ‘race’ in Spanish, not ‘the people’ — and that’s precisely why we don’t hear of something like ‘The National Council of the People,’ which would not confer the buzz notion of ethnic, racial and tribal chauvinism.”

Obama panders to Latinos on the nickel of American citizens and I have little doubt that the plan is for illegals to vote as well under the same aegis as the suspension of border law since asking for an ID for voting is now discriminatory.

Today railroads and hotels, along with almost all providers of public accommodations in almost all circumstances, are prohibited from discriminating on the basis of race. So what happens when you ride on Amtrak, the government-subsidized railroad? You hear an announcement over the PA system advising you to be prepared to show your identification if the conductor asks to see it.

Likewise, these days there is a good chance you will be asked for identification when you check into a hotel. You need ID to board an airplane or to drive a car. Recently we visited a doctor whose office is in a hospital. Just to enter the premises, we needed to present ID to a security guard.

If black people have trouble producing identification, how come nobody ever claims that these requirements are discriminatory?

Expect the indignation penumbra to be extended to all Latinos so that illegals will be able to cast ballots. Only white people will have to produce ID’s to vote. This is insane.

And it is discriminatory.

The “prosecutorial discretion” memo says officials need not enforce immigration laws if illegal immigrants are enrolled in an education center or if their relatives have volunteered for the US military.

Sounds to me like it’s business as usual in the Obama WH. Enforce the laws you wish, while overlooking others, or even downright thumbing your nose at the law.

Article II, Section 1, the Presidential Oath of Office;

“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

What this means is that one of the President’s duties is to faithfully execute the laws enacted by Congress. To do so means that the president does not have the ability, as head of the executive branch of the federal government, to pick and choose which laws he/she wishes to execute and which ones they don’t. All bills passed by the legislature become law once signed by the President, and unless subsequently found to be unConstitutional, or, struck from the record by succeeding legislation, must be executed by the president.

In this case, the laws on immigration still on the books have Constitutional authority, based on Article I, Section 8, of which one of the clauses is, “To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization, and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States;”. Congress had the legislative authority, granted by the Constitution, to enact immigration laws, and the President, by requirement of the Constitution, has the responsibility to ensure that they are executed faithfully. I charge that by allowing officials within the Executive branch to disregard such law, that the President, and his WH, are failing in their duties to the people.

If the Republicans were a real opposition party, and their non-actions proves they aren’t, they’d begin impeachment proceedings on MONDAY.

Yes, it would get no where, but they’d at least show themselves to be POPULISTS and WOULD WIN IN A LANDSLIDE in 2012.

But, alas, they just sit there with their dick in their hand wondering why people like me hate them so much.

Sigh.

@Ivan:

You really believe that attempting to impeach the first black President of the United States would be a winning 2012 electoral strategy for Republicans?

Good lord man!

No wonder you had to settle for being a tutor.

do you really want someone holding his junk even in this country, and then you have the other guy flipping us off, get your vote no matter what, leave em on the otherside

@Aye:

Aye,

This is why people in the conservative movement are begining to wake up to the perfidity of the House and Senate Republicans:

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/jun/24/house-rebukes-obama-libya-lets-funding-continue/

They vote to rebuke the President, then turn around and support him by FAILING to defund the illegal war.

You might want to wake up and smell the roses and get on the caboose before the train leaves the station.

Then again, you lack critical thinking skills as you didn’t get a rigorous degree.

;->

@john:

They got my last vote in November. They can go to hell as they have lost me.

Aye will of course show up like a good Einsatzgruppen of the establishment and pull the lever for “Cry Baby” and Romney.

Not me, I won’t “shoot the non-combatants”.

@Ivan:

They vote to rebuke the President, then turn around and support him by FAILING to defund the illegal war.

Yeah, looking at the list I find your favorite gal, Mrs. Bachmann, amongst the “Nays” on the defunding issue.

West is among the nays as well.

So is…get this now…so is Ron Paul. That’s right. Ron Paul voted “Nay” on defunding… That’s right… Perhaps the most anti-war guy in the Congress voted “Nay” on defunding.

So, let me ask you, is Bachmann still the “real deal” conservative that you were all horned up over a few days ago…or is the bloom now off the rose?

Then again, you lack critical thinking skills as you didn’t get a rigorous degree.

Oh, really?

Why don’t you talk to me a little more about the degrees I supposedly didn’t get. I earned them and I’m looking at the diplomas on the wall so, tell me, which ones are figments of my imagination?

Aye will of course show up like a good Einsatzgruppen

Ohhh….love the way you worked in the Nazi SS death squad reference.

So smooth. So classy.

That’s the old “I’m losing the debate so I’ll compare my opponent to the Nazi’s” tactic.

I do believe that you’ve run afoul of Godwin’s Law.

Congratulations on that.

Here is a link to the actual ICE memo if anyone cares to go directly to the source of Obama’s attempt to bring the DREAM into effect.

Now I know the Libertarian position concerning immigration and open borders is appalling to many of my Republican friends and illegal immigrants are overwhelming our social support structures. Something obviously must be done and even Ray Charles can see that the current system is unsustainable. As johngalt pointed out in the first post, Article I, Section 8, of the Constitution clearly gives Congress the authority to establish UNIFORM Rules of Naturalization.

Immigrants coming up from Mexico and other Latin countries to work and Immigrants seeking U.S. citizenship are not necessarily the same. I think we can separate the two groups and find a workable solution. So allow me to throw this idea out there and y’all can shoot holes in it.

There are around 11-12 million illegals in this country, if ALL illegal aliens were rounded up and placed into detention facilities and then placed on planes and flown out of the country it would take ten 747’s flying nonstop something like 3 years just to get them out of here. Now that’s not going to happen so what we have to do is to remove the incentive from coming here illegally.

I think we can increase and simplify the process and number of work visas for those who simply want to work, make some money, and go back home. But we do not have to allow non-citizen to participate or benefit from social aid programs that are intended for our citizens, such as welfare, WIC, CHIP’s etc…that would include public schools as well. Aliens with children who are just here to work would have to pay for their kids education themselves.

Immigrants that want to live here and are applying for citizenship must show that they will not be a drain on the system and have the resources to be able to provide for themselves. They also would be prohibited from receiving any of the benefits and privileges associated from those programs intended to aid citizens, at least until they have been granted citizenship.

The 14th Amendment must also be modified or at least clarified, what was intended to protect newly freed slaves has been twisted into a fraudulent mechanism that games the system by granting citizenship to those who are NOT “subject to the jurisdiction thereof”. Suppose a couple from Mexico, Finland, wherever, wants to come into the country and visit relatives. They have no intention of remaining here but something happens and they give birth while visiting. That baby should not be required to be a citizen of the U.S.!

So how does that sound? I think a workable solution that follows my Libertarian principles and that Republicans can also support is actually pretty simple. There is a difference between open borders that allows freedom of travel for people, goods and ideas and allowing non-citizens to enjoy the benefits and privileges of programs intended for the citizens of this nation.

I’m not a huge fan of Dr. Krauthammer, but he has been known to toss a pearl of wisdom here and there. The other day he said that once the border is secured the American people would be much more forgiving of illegals that are already here. Knowing there would not be wave after wave of more illegals streaming across the border in hopes of getting in on these deals. I tend to agree, the border must be secured and laws written in such a way that illegal immigration is not rewarded. Dealing with illlegals that are here and have been for a while is something we look at once the border has been secured.

@Aqua:

That is the move most favored by conservative thinkers. Close up the holes in the border and then the discussion about what is to be done with the remaining illegals that are here can happen. If your boat springs a big leak in the middle of a lake, your first action shouldn’t be to start bailing it out(counding up illegals and sending them home), but rather, plug the hole first(secure the border) as best you can, then start bailing out the water.

@Aye: Thanks for the info on the politicians as usual. Its that kinda crap that really makes me wonder if we will ever get a real conservative again.

You’ve chosen the perfect photograph with which to illustrate this post.

As I said 5 years ago when illegals from Mexico were marching through downtown Chicago.

“When a group of people from a nation not your own is marching through one of your cities, all while chanting in a language not your own, and bearing the flags of their nation, you really don’t need to understand their language to clearly understand what is being said.”

This is conquest.

Re: the thread above.

I’ve pretty much given up on human saviors for this nation, as well. Republicans, by and large, have proven themselves more than useless. West and Issa voted for continuing the Pigford II fraud. That about did it for me.

Obama, with a lot of help, fooled half the nation.

Our “Tea Party” candidate will likely pull a Scott Brown and fool the other half of this nation.

All while speaking the right “revolutionary founding father” lingo, and waving a flag with a Serpent on it.

The picture that you showed at the heading is EXACTLY, what those people think of us. They don’t want to be “American’s” they just want to live here.

There is NO ONE who can save this country. It is in downfall and will continue to do so. Sad but oh so true. All you can do is just learn to live with each little cut. That way it ” don’t feel so bad” or at least you don’t feel the pain in one big whack.

@Aye:

Sorry, Ayechmann, but I’m sick of all the Republicans at this point. Bahmann, West, blah. A pox on both their houses.

And I could care less about some “goodwin”, unlike you I think for myself and not let some has-been classify me.

PS Excellent play on words on my part with your name, no?

;->

@Gary G. Swenchonis:

@Aye: Thanks for the info on the politicians as usual. Its that kinda crap that really makes me wonder if we will ever get a real conservative again.

Gary, Conservatism died when the establishment foisted old man Bush on us in ’92. Buchanan was the last true conservative the party had and they blew it.

Enjoy your “Free trade”, multicultural nation. Sucks, don’t it.

We told you so.

@Aqua:

I’m not a huge fan of Dr. Krauthammer, but he has been known to toss a pearl of wisdom here and there. The other day he said that once the border is secured the American people would be much more forgiving of illegals that are already

Yeah, been there, done that. They said the same thing in 1986 when they gave amnesty to the illegals.

Man do you people fall for the same bovine fecal matter every 25 years or what?

KICK THEM OUT, AND MAKE THEM TAKE THEIR DEAD ILLEGAL RELATIVES BACK FROM WHENCE THEY CAME.

Take no prisoners on this issue.

@Taqiyyotomist: Re: the thread above.

Now you’re talking. You’ve taken your first steps off the plantation that the Republicans have set up for you! Piss on ISSA and West.

We gave them a finanical mandate in November and what did they do with it? Pass a DEMOCRATIC Budget.

Republicans = Democrat lite.

That is the move most favored by conservative thinkers. Close up the holes in the border and then the discussion about what is to be done with the remaining illegals that are here can happen.

Survey says…..WRONG. WE GAVE THEM AMNESTY IN ’86. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE? We could solve ouremployment problems by:

1. Forming a posse, like they’ve done in AZ to round up the illegals.

2. MILLIONS of jobs will open up allowing Americans to work instead of living on the dole.

Wow, you dead-enders on this site sound more and more like liberals with each passing day.

@Ivan:

Survey says…..WRONG. WE GAVE THEM AMNESTY IN ’86. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE? We could solve ouremployment problems by:

One, we, as a country, have not done what I commented should be done, ever. No surprise that you only took away from my comment one small part of it. Close the border down, then discuss what happens to those still here, whether it be shipping them back, amnesty, or somewhere in between.

Your other problem is that you immediately assume that by ‘conservatives’ that I’m talking about Republicans. On that score, you and Greg should get along famously. You might want to follow up on some of my comments on other topics and you will see that I criticize the GOP quite a bit, particularly on their leadership which tends to lean left on many issues.

Is it just your nature to be so obtuse and abrasive towards people, or does your lack of reading comprehension lead you to act that way due to your inability to really understand what people are saying?

They wouldn’t have come here if some people hadn’t been eager to hire them. Ten-million-plus illegal residents is the predictable outcome of having let American businesses get away with boosting their profits by paying substandard wages to illegal workers.

@Taqiyyotomist: Sir, I could not agree with you more. On both on yours post.
I know how my friends and myself feel, that voting for these CINO’s does not work, and has not worked in years now. I have said this before, but its a great Catch 22. If we vote these Republicans they will only compromise all of our values and traditions down the drain. But if a true conservative were to actually win, he/she would not be supported by the republicans who have no political fortitude at all. But when I started seeing on the news people waving a foreign flag, speaking in a foreign language, and mocking America I knew then that we were and are in some serious trouble as a nation.

@Ivan: You know sir, I hear what you’re saying. And I agree. I still have hope though. Granted not much! But enough to hope that someone like Palin, and or Cain will go 3rd party if they have too. We will lose this time. But even if we elect a Republican Clone like Romney, Perry, etc…. we will lose. Maybe a little slower, but still lose. This country needs to be shaken up even more than it is now to wake more Americans up to the fact that we are all on the verge of losing whats left of traditional values, and conservatism.

@Taqiyyotomist: You remember that too? I live in the ‘burbs and the Islamic Center they ended up staying overnight at is less than a mile from my house right across the street from the high school I went to. They marched right by my house which is in a residential neighborhood, proudly displaying their flag, carrying their signs, and to show their ‘patriotism’ they were singing the National Anthem in Spanish all in support of illegal immigration. Talk about a slap in the face. After witnessing that, it was quite obvious that this was no longer our country.

I wouldn’t go too hard on Allen West. He’s the real deal and showed it on the battlefield. He put his career on the line to save his troops’ lives. I’m guessing he voted the way he did as a show of support for the troops which I don’t fault him for. Issa though has been another let down so far like a lot of the other blowhards. Where are all of these investigations? The ATF fiasco needs to be given major attention. Holder needs to be called on the carpet. This administration craps all over our Constitution and laws and no repercussions. So much for checks and balances. Let’s see how many cave on the debt ceiling.

It looks like we have two choices- vote for the Dems who are speeding along at 100 mph trying to take the country over the cliff or the Repubs who are speeding along at 50mph trying to take the country over the cliff. Either way, we are going over the cliff.
