Abdullah the Butcher Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I hope it gets taken to the supreme court, I don't like executive orders in general. There is nothing in the constitution giving the President that explicit power. 1 Link to comment

carlfense Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Hey, how about taking care of Veterans, instead of immigrants??? I agree. When is Congress going to get around to increasing VA funding? Maybe when the GOP takes control? Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Brilliant political move. These people will have temporary protection for three years. That puts the end of it square in the middle of the next administration. Only two things can happen from here. a) The Republicans get off their fridgen asses and actually pass an immigration bill. b) They go into panic mode and claim the world coming to an end because (the horror) some people have been given protection under the law............They lose every hispanic vote in the next election and the Dems win easy. Republicans.....you actually have the chance to do something that is both right and will appeal to a minority in this country. Why not take a chance and actually do something? Link to comment

Why not take a chance and actually do something? It will appeal to a minority, sure . . . but more importantly it's the right thing to do. If they want to deport everyone they need to provide funding for 11 million deportations instead of the 400,000 per year that they've currently funded. If they don't want to deport everyone they need to decide on a metric for who is allowed to stay and why. Doing nothing is not an option and opposing Obama is not governing. Link to comment

Because then they would actually have to do something... Instead, they'll probably shut down the government and try to blame it on Obama again. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/11/20/gop-leaders-vow-to-fight-obama-immigration-action-as-top-dems-praise-move/ “While House Republicans will still work to do everything we can to move the country forward, it is our obligation and responsibility to fight this brazen power grab that doesn’t solve the real problems,” House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., said in a statement. House Speaker John Boehner said that Obama is ignoring what Americans really want, and has “squandered what little credibility he had left." “His ‘my way or the highway’ approach makes it harder to build the trust with the American people that is necessary to get things done on behalf of the country,” Boehner, R-Ohio, said. “Republicans are left with the serious responsibility of upholding our oath of office. We will not shrink from this duty, because our allegiance lies with the American people.” Link to comment

Junior Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Good Lord, Ted Cruz is a piece of work. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix/wp/2014/11/20/ted-cruz-goes-peak-senate-in-opposition-to-emperor-obama/ When, O Catiline President Obama, do you mean to cease abusing our patience? How long is that madness of yours still to mock us? When is there to be an end of that unbridled audacity of yours, swaggering about as it does now? Do not the nightly guards placed on the Palatine Hill border —do not the watches posted throughout the city —does not the alarm of the people, and the union of all good men and women —does not the precaution taken of assembling the senate in this most defensible place —do not the looks and countenances of this venerable body here present, have any effect upon you? Do you not feel that your plans are detected? Do you not see that your conspiracy is already arrested and rendered powerless by the knowledgewhich that everyone here possesses of it? What is there that you did last night, what the night before — where is it that you were — who was there that you summoned to meet you — what design was there which was adopted by you, with which you think that any one of us is unacquainted? Shame on the age and on its lost principles! The Senate is aware of these things; the consul Senate sees them; and yet this man lives. Lives!dictates by his pen and his phone. Dictates! Aye, he comes evenwon't even come into the Senate. He takes a will not take part in the public deliberations; he is watching and marking down and checking off for slaughter he ignores every individual among us. And we, gallant menand women that we are, think that we are doing our duty to the republic if we keep out of the way of his frenzied attacks. You ought, O Catiline President Obama, long ago to have been led toexecution defeat by command of the consul your own disdain for the people. That destruction which you have been long plotting against usought to have already fallen on your own head. What? Did not that most illustrious man, Publius Scipio, the Pontifex Maximus, in his capacity of a private citizen, put to death Tiberius Gracchus, though but slightly undermining the constitution? And shall we, who are the consuls Senate, tolerate Catiline President Obama, openly desirous to destroy the whole world with fire and slaughter the Constitution and this Republic? For I pass over older instances, such as how Caius Servilius Ahala with his own hand slew Spurius Maelius when plotting a revolution in the state how the IRS plotted to silence American citizens. There was — there was once such virtue in this republic, that brave men and women would repress mischievous citizens with severer chastisement than the most bitter enemy. For we have a resolution of the senate, a formidable and authoritative decree against you,O Catiline Mr. President; the wisdom of the republic is not at fault, nor the dignity of this senatorial body. We, we alone — I say it openly — we, the consuls, are waiting in our duty to stop this lawless administration and its unconstitutional amnesty. Link to comment

strigori Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 At what point did a work permit become amnesty? This action only does a few things, lets some people not fear deportation, and the probably break up of their family, and moves them into a legal status that includes paying income taxes. And what will citizens notice? Absolutely nothing. Oh the tyranny! Link to comment
