I hope Husseins amnesty law is not another excuse for Congress to make noise and do-nothing:

This man has refused to enforce immigration law, and now he issues an executive order that essentially institutes an amnesty program by executive order and I think this needs to go to the courtroom and Im prepared to go there, King told WND.

King adds that hes ready to take the president to court for acting in a manner that is clearly reserved for the legislative branch. He has experience in this type of legal fight.

It sounds good until you read the caveat:

King says he will press the legal challenge to the presidents move regardless of what GOP leaders do.

'Obama violating Constitution and oath of office'
Rep. Steve King prepared to fight immigration 'edict' in court

If the GOP leadership wont oppose the president at the same time the Democrat leadership protects the president there is not much chance anything will be done. The fact that Rep. King doubts his partys leaders on so clear a matter proves an immediate need for a lot more true Tea Party conservatives in Congress.

Aside from a possible legal challenge Hussein should be called out on his excuse for bypassing Congress: It is the best thing to do for the American people.

Hussein is lying through his teeth AGAIN. He never does what is best for the American people. He never has and he never will. Open borders is best for the UNIC (United Nations/International Community). He knows it, I know it, and so does every American know it including his supporters. He does the things he does because he knows that all-powerful global government forces will protect him.

Make no mistake about this. Increasing the presidents authority is behind everything presidents do. They know that the New World Order crowd will never let Congress, or the Court, diminish presidential authority. The reason is obvious. One man with all of the authority is unstoppable in the march to global government; whereas, relying on a majority in both houses of Congress is uncertain under ideal conditions. The plan has been: Empower the presidency and neuter Congress. Husseins amnesty law is the biggest bite out of the apple to date.

Just once Id like to hear the liar say To hell with the American people. His pal and pastor Jeremiah Wright had no problem saying worse while Hussein sat and listened to him for 20 years.

Incidentally, I give left-handed credit to guys like Jeremiah Wright, Al Sharpton, Calypso Louie Farrakhan, Jesse Jackson and all religion hustlers. Preaching hatred alone never lasts very long. To have staying power the sermons must incorporate love. Hustlers successfully balance preaching love with preaching hate.

Basically, successful black hustlers all master the same technique. I suspect they learn it in divinity school for con artists: Wes all Gods chillun. We gots to love everyone xceppin dem white debels.

The love/hate message gave a few black hustlers some indirect political power and a lot of money while everybody else got an empty sack with a hole in it.

Hussein is the most successful race hustler of all because he acquired enormous direct political power by combining those techniques common among religion hustlers and racists. Claiming he is doing the right thing for the American people while advancing socialisms tenacious hatred is a masterstroke of misdirection.

Lest I be called a racist, let me remind everyone that at one time or another priests in every major religion have preached their particular brand of hatred disguised as love. You must hate a despised group in order to love everyone is the way it usually went. Torquemada and his fellows during the Spanish Inquisition is probably the best-known example. Race hatred is the only thing that has been added to the age-old formula. Bottom line: Racism was not seen or recorded until the twentieth century. Racism is an invented sin turned into a crime.

Finally, Hussein is trying to turn his amnesty law into a moral issue. The kids are not to blame so they should not be deported. Okay, wait until they are adults then deport them. Let them grow up knowing they will be deported once they are old enough to take care of themselves in their homelands. They can then put their names on the list of immigrants waiting to come here legally. If an illegal alien is still a child deport the parents. Presumably, the parents will take the kid(s) with them. Put the onus on the lawbreakers where it belongs.

Let me add that the number of legal immigrants allowed in from Mexico ONLY should be increased dramatically. Mexicans are neighbors and should be given special consideration LEGALLY.

Obama gonna stack the election in his favor by lettin' dem Hispexicans vote fer him...

Obamas Bedfellows: Aligns Himself With Bush, McCain, Corporate CEOs on Immigration Reform
June 15, 2012 President Barack Obama said the executive action to waive deportation of young illegal aliens and grant work permits to them, which his administration announced today, was only a first step, and he linked his actions to both former President George W. Bush and the nations CEOs in calling for comprehensive immigration reform legislation from Congress.

Just six years ago, the unlikely trio of John McCain, Ted Kennedy, and President Bush came together to champion this kind of reform, Obama said in a Rose Garden speech on Friday. And I was proud to join 23 Republicans in voting for it. So theres no reason that we cant come together and get this done. President Obama has spent much of his presidency pointing out that current problems facing the U.S. economy resulted from the policies of the Bush administration. He asserted this as recently as Thursday at campaign events.

Obama has also been critical of some of the nations largest corporations, but in todays Rose Garden speech he applauded the CEOs. As long as Im president, I will not give up on this issue, Obama said. Not only because its the right thing to do for our economy, and CEOs agree with me, not just because its the right thing to do for our security, but because its the right thing to do, period. I believe, eventually, enough Republicans in Congress will come around to that view as well. President George W. Bush did support comprehensive immigration reform but the legislation he supported did not pass in the Senate in 2007. Bush moved on to other issues and did not bypass Congress and implement steps like Obama did today by executive fiat.

The policy announced Friday morning by Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano would immediately grant to certain young people brought to the United States as children relief from deportation if they pose no risk to national security. To qualify, these illegal aliens must be under age 30 and have come to the United States under the age of 16; must have continuously lived in the United States for at least five years; must be in school, or have graduated from high school, have a general education development certificate, or be honorably discharged veterans of the Coast Guard or Armed Forces of the United States; must not have felony convictions, a significant misdemeanor offense, multiple misdemeanor offenses, or otherwise pose a threat to national security or public safety.

The policy is projected to affect at least 800,000 illegal aliens in the United States. These illegals will be eligible to apply for work permits and have them renewed every two years. Next week, Obama is scheduled to speak at the annual conference of the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials in Orlando, Fla.

Obama Immigration Move Possibly Illegal
June 15, 2012 - Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) took to Twitter Friday to attack President Obamas move to grant effective amnesty to young illegal immigrants

He was among the first lawmakers to react to the surprise announcement. President Obamas attempt to go around Congress and the American people is at best unwise and possibly illegal, he tweeted. Graham, a former Air Force prosecutor, said the move, regardless of motivation, will entice people to break our laws.

While Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano insisted the program is not amnesty, other senior administration officials admitted that the program will stop illegal immigrants from being deported, even if a judge has already ordered it. On the same Friday conference call in which Napolitano said the program was not amnesty, the senior administration official said that the program would eliminate some illegal immigrants from the universe of people subject to immigration enforcement. In other words, the program would prevent some illegals from being deported effectively granting them amnesty.

In order to qualify for this effective amnesty, an illegal immigrant must have entered the U.S. when they were less than 16 years old, have lived here continually for at least five years, not have been convicted of a felony, serious misdemeanor, or multiple misdemeanors, be enrolled in or have graduated from a U.S. high school or have a GED, have served honorably in the military, and be less than 30 years old.

New citizens not exactly wild about amnesty for illegals...

New citizens have mixed feelings about amnesty for illegal immigrants
2/06/2013 When Anton Kilpa raised his right hand and became an American citizen Wednesday, the Ukranian chemical engineer did so after five years of flipping burgers, cleaning chimneys and driving trucks while working his way through the complicated citizenship process.

He was still clutching his citizenship certificate and a tiny flag when he weighed in on one of the front-burner issues roiling his new country immigration reform. Reform proposals include a path to citizenship for as many as 11 million immigrants who did not come to the United States legally as did Kilpa and the 17 other new citizens who took their citizenship oaths Wednesday at the federal courthouse in Grand Junction. "I am of two opinions. The first kind of finds me a little bit negative. I had to go through all the proper ways to do this," he said. "The second is that being a citizen makes me want something better for this country. If you look at this from the perspective of them (illegal immigrants) paying taxes and stuff and being able to get educations and buy real estate, it could be good for the country."

The upward of 7,000 immigrants who will become citizens in Colorado this year have good reason to feel ambivalent about the possibility of citizenship for those who came to the country illegally. As new citizen Sheri Andrews put it, "It's a very difficult thing for the people who come here legally. I have very mixed feelings because of that." After Andrews met and became engaged to an American businessman working in China, she had to wait a year to get a visa to join him in the United States. The couple had to hire an immigration attorney to help with a process they said was enormously complicated even though they had no complicating factors. When Andrews had her interview at the Chinese embassy, she had amassed about 30 pounds of paperwork that she had to haul to the embassy in a duffel bag.

To become a citizen, applicants must be in the country for a minimum of five years. That time can be shorter if they are married to a citizen. They have to prove that they are of good moral character; that they can speak, read, write and understand English; and that they are knowledgeable about American government and history. The test to prove the latter would be a challenge to most native-born Americans. They must also pay a $680 filing fee simply to begin the citizenship process. Some of those who became citizens Wednesday said they had to go through a series of visas over a period of many years. Those included work permits, student visas, special skill visas and hardship waivers to finally get to the point where they could stand before a federal magistrate and hear him declare, "This has not been and was not meant to be an easy journey."

For Brunella Gualerzi, it was a 23-year journey. She came from Italy on a student visa, switched to a work visa when she finished her education and eventually married an American before she was able to complete the citizenship process. She said she believes citizenship should be streamlined for those who earned it through the legal route as well as for those who might fall under amnesty provisions in reform measures. "The process is so hard. I think it's absurd," said Gualerzi, who is well known as the owner of the Il Bistro restaurant in Grand Junction. "It should be easier for people who offer a lot to this country."

ICE Agent Reveals Shocking Details About Obamas Dismantling of Immigration Enforcement
April 1, 2013 - Chris Crane, president of the National Immigration and Customs Enforcement Council 118, made a number of stunning revelations during his testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee and hes begging Congress for help. The ICE union boss argued that agents are no longer allowed to arrest illegal aliens solely for illegal entry or expired visas and morale is at an all-time low.

Most Americans would be shocked to find out that immigration agents are regularly prohibited from enforcing the two most fundamental sections of United States immigration law, he said. Instead, the administration has ordered that only illegals charged or convicted of very serious criminal offenses may be arrested or charged by ICE agents and officers. In fact, under current policy individuals illegally in the United States must now be convicted of 3 or more criminal misdemeanors before ICE agents are permitted to charge or arrest the illegal alien for illegal entry or overstaying a visa, he added. That is unless the misdemeanors involve assault, sexual abuse or drug trafficking.

Even more shocking, Crane said ICE agents or officers who witness a violation of immigration law are prohibited from making arrests and even from asking questions under the threat of disciplinary action. Citing a recent morale survey disseminated throughout federal agencies, Crane said ICE ranks 279 out of 291 in employee morale and job satisfaction. He has previously asked the Obama administration to help address the plummeting morale and dissatisfaction among ICE agents.

Meanwhile, the Obama administration is continually making it nearly impossible for agents to enforce federal immigration law because they allow special interests groups to influence policy, Crane explained. The day-to day duties of ICE agents and officers often seem in conflict with the law as ICE officers are prohibited from enforcing many laws enacted by Congress; laws they took an oath to enforce, he said. ICE is now guided in large part by influences of powerful special interest groups that advocate on behalf of illegal aliens.

Crane continued: These influences have in large part eroded the order, stability and effectiveness of the agency, creating confusion among ICE employees. For the last four years it has been a roller coaster for ICE officers with regard to who they can or cannot arrest, and which federal laws they will be permitted to enforce. Most of these directives restricting enforcement are given only verbally to prevent written evidence from reaching the public.

Obama tryin' to make it easier for illegals to cross border, skirt law...

Obamas budget a blow to immigrant enforcers; funding cut for detentions, states
Thursday, April 11, 2013 - President Obamas budget would rewrite the federal governments interior immigration enforcement priorities, cutting funding for states that try to help enforce immigration laws and scaling back the number of immigrants the federal government will detain while they await deportation.

He sent the proposal to Capitol Hill on Wednesday, at a time when congressional lawmakers are trying to write a broad immigration bill to bolster border security and interior enforcement, and to screen millions of illegal immigrants who could gain legal status under the legislation. All of that will cost money, but Mr. Obamas budget cuts overall funding for the Homeland Security Department. It particularly trims interior enforcement initiatives, such as the State Criminal Alien Assistance Program, which has widespread support among members of Congress.

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano defended her budget to Congress on Thursday. She told a House spending panel that she is doing the best she can within a tight budget framework but cant guarantee that her agency can enforce all the laws it has been delegated to carry out. While Id like to give you that assurance and will do everything we can in that regard, I cant give you a 100 percent guarantee, she said. Ms. Napolitanos budget boosts spending by $1.1 billion for U.S. Customs and Border Protection, which includes the Border Patrol and officers who watch the ports of entry. But it reduces by nearly $650 million, or 11 percent, funds for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which handles interior investigations and deportations.

Among those cuts, Mr. Obama calls for eliminating support for state and local governments whose police try to assist the federal government with immigration enforcement under what is called the 287(g) program. The president said he wants to reduce the number of illegal immigrants ICE keeps in detention from 34,000 to 31,800. Congress fought hard during the past decade to boost the number of detentions, arguing that those who were allowed back into the general population rarely returned to be deported. The move to reduce detention was made as ICE tries to recover from its announcement earlier this year that it released thousands of immigrants it had been detaining in order to comply with the budget sequesters. The agency had to re-arrest a handful of those it released, saying they were too dangerous to have been let out. Rep. John R. Carter, Texas Republican and chairman of the spending panel, said Thursday that he was going to be very cautious about accepting the proposal to cut detention beds.

But Ms. Napolitano said they believe they can keep all high-priority individuals detained with the lower number of beds, while making use of alternatives to track the other people in deportation proceedings. The 31,800 that we request, we believe, will house all mandatory detainees, she said. In other action, Mr. Obama called for cutting the 287(g) program that many states and localities have used to help crack down on illegal immigration within their borders. The program trains state and local officers so they can begin to process illegal immigrants they arrest, with the intent of turning them over to the federal government. Mr. Obama has resisted those state efforts, arguing that only the federal government should determine who should be deported.
