The liberal media is trying to spin this disaster on anything and anyone but who is actually responsible. Here are the facts to show who is responsible: First, why are these illegals coming here? A report has cited this: While the liberals have tried to say it is because of gang violence in these countries the study shows this is not true. It is because of the 2012 action taken by Obama: Further proof shows that illegal crossings have started to skyrocket and began doing so in 2012: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/201...-policy-behind-surge-illegal-children-report/ The. chart shows when the numbers shot up. Obama is doing nothing as usual. Some have tried to blame the 2008 law that has to do with human trafficking but the stats show Obama's 2012 action is clearly to blame.
Started with July 2011 with the Obama administrations announcement of using prosecutorial discretion to decide whether to enforce our immigration laws or not. Over the course of the summer, the Obama Administration began to address these requests, relying on its ability to exercise prosecutorial discretion in deportation decisions. On June 17, 2011, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director John Morton issued a memorandum directing ICE staff to consider many of these same factors when deciding whether or not to exercise prosecutorial discretion. On August 18, 2011, in a response to the letter from Senator Durbin and others, DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano declined to grant deferral of removal to DREAM Act students across the board, but indicated a willingness to re-examine individual cases. She announced a two-pronged initiative to implement the June 2011 Morton memo across all DHS divisions to ensure that DHS priorities remained focused on removing persons who are most dangerous to the country. The new initiative involves the creation of a joint committee with the Department of Justice that will review each of the nearly 300,000 pending removal cases to assess whether each case meets the high priority factors set forth in the June 2011 Morton memo. In order to clear the seriously backlogged immigration court dockets and to better focus resources on high priority cases, all low priority cases will be administratively closed following this review – that is, they will be removed from the active docket of the immigration courts. Second, DHS announced that that it would issue agency-wide guidance to ICE, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) officers to ensure that they appropriately exercise discretion when determining whether a low priority case should be referred to immigration court in the future. http://www.immigrationpolicy.org/just-facts/understanding-prosecutorial-discretion-immigration-law
Obama is going to get all the heat for this in the history books and he will forever be known as the president that pandered to illegals while ignoring US citizens. The man's legacy is completely demolished. He will be known as the biggest failure of a President this nation has ever seen.
I guess the Big 0 is lucky that the current generation reads at a 6th grade level if at all And now with all of these Latinos flooding in to establish a large future population here, thanking the Big 0 all the while, there's even less chance of anyone giving a hoot. Yay 0bama! Yay Democrats! No doubt the future collapse of this country will be blamed on the Tea Party and their stubborn refusals to work with the Big 0, too.
Depends. Hispanics will be 40%+ of the country within the next 50 years. They may view him as a hero, and they'll likely write the history on it.
I knew he (Obama) was loser on 8 Aug 2007, I wonder why it has taken so long for every one else to catch up with that truth.
Yea, this is all Obama's fault; http://thehill.com/homenews/house/186451-gop-comfortable-ignoring-obama-pleas-vote-immigration-bill What a joke.
As of October 2013, have you bothered to ask the Republicans; http://thehill.com/homenews/house/186451-gop-comfortable-ignoring-obama-pleas-vote-immigration-bill ? It's pretty obvious they are holding up the show.
No. They are standing up for the constitution and the rule of law. Not the cult of personality prefered by Obama voters,
of course its obamas fault, he invited them. Furthermore, obama is the only one responsible for people not believing his lies. He needs to tell the truth for a change. I dont blame the house for a second. - - - Updated - - - I dont see what passing another law for obama to ignore is going to do
It poured rain last night and the end result was flooding; think i'm going to blame it on Obama. Must have been one of his crazy policies that caused the bad weather.
Seeing that he has continually hammered the GOP to do something, I seriously doubt there is some law he needs to ignore, seeing that the GOP has ignored him on this since day one. The one trying to get an immigration bill passed (Obama) is the one who gets the credit. To blame him for in action is just a lie on its face. The evidence of who is trying to do something is abundantly clear. Spitting out lies will certainly backfire on the GOP.
Leftys make me laugh... They wonder why republicans wont compromise with obama to destroy America. The evidence of obamas stupidity is abundantly clear. Only an idiot would lie so much and still expect people to trust him.
While I agree with you on the stupidity of Obama and how crappy of a POTUS he is, I completely disagree with you on why people wonder why the cons won't work with him. They made it abundantly clear from the very beginning that they were NEVER going to work with him. Hell, even the Senate minority leader made that comment public. LOL
They go and post studies how Obama is at fault for the immigration crisis, and they expect the rest of us to believe these studies, when gross ignorance on the subject is rampant among republicans. Just look at how congressman Phil Gingrey made a total fool of himself on the subject of diseases about immigrants;http://on.msnbc.com/UaJo9x What a joke the right is.
How do you think this looks to the future illegals? Free debt cards loaded with free money. Free medical. Free flights to see family. Free housing. Free food. Free education. Sure Obama is doing so much to slow this wave of people down. Right!!! BS!!!!
How is that an answer to my question exactly? Standing up to the Constitution has nothing to do with ignoring immigration bills put forward and not voting on them.
I too was one of those who saw it and expressed it on AOL Political conundrum at the time. We were lonely voices in a sea of ignorance.
