The threat of illegal alien amnesty-by-executive order
NumbersUSA posted a letter on Monday from GOP Sen. Grassley and seven other Republican Senators challenging the White House on rumors of illegal alien-amnesty-by-executive order. The gist of it:
We understand that there’s a push for your Administration to develop a plan to unilaterally extend either deferred action or parole to millions of illegal aliens in the United States. We understand that the Administration may include aliens who have willfully overstayed their visas or filed for benefits knowing that they will not be eligible for a status for years to come. We understand that deferred action and parole are discretionary actions reserved for individual cases that present unusual, emergent or humanitarian circumstances. Deferred action and parole were not intended to be used to confer a status or offer protection to large groups of illegal aliens, even if the agency claims that they look at each case on a “case-by-case” basis.
While we agree our immigration laws need to be fixed, we are deeply concerned about the potential expansion of deferred action or parole for a large illegal alien population. While deferred action and parole are Executive Branch authorities, they should not be used to circumvent Congress’ constitutional authority to legislate immigration policy, particularly as it relates to the illegal population in the United States.
This administration has accomplished its major policy agenda items through force, fiat, and fraud. Immigration will be no different.
More to the point, as I’ve reported many times and in-depth in my blog posts, colum ns, and books, open-borders activists and open-borders politicians have accomplished illegal alien amnesty-by-special order with almost no grass-roots resistance for years.
Both the Bush and Obama administrations support non-enforcement orders on deportation.
Both Republicans and Democrats have sponsored “special relief” bills to grant amnesty to illegal alien criminals. Remember:
How Congress gives special relief to convicted murderers, smugglers, and other alien law-breakers
By Michelle Malkin • June 11, 2007 01:00 PMAre you aware that deportable aliens can circumvent immigration laws with the help of your member of Congress? Are you aware that more than 50 bills have been introduced in Congress this year that would grant special, private relief to individual immigrants fighting deportation? It’s instant amnesty through special legislation. And it’s been happening for years under the radar. Past and present beneficiaries have included smugglers, illegal aliens, and now a convicted murderer wanted in his home country for engaging in terrorist activity and participating in an assassination plot that left a prime minister and dozens of his family members dead.
Both political parties remain clueless or indifferent to the deportation abyss that affords illegal aliens countless appeals and de facto, endless amnesty.
As I first pointed out in Invasion eight years ago, comprehensive immigration ENFORCEMENT reform won’t come from Washington until Americans outside the Beltway start doing it themselves.
The revolt is well underway.

If barry does this there will be little we can do other than get Congress to enact some legislation that barry will veto then they have to override the veto. This is all about votes, 3rd world status, and a one world government.

Please try it barry. please!!!!!!!
I can see November from my house.
How long does that train of abuses get before people take action?
The lame duck Congress worries me. What will they attempt after November?
Outrageous. Not unthinkable in this administration’s tyranny. No surprises here.
Will sign petition. Thanks.
WTF? They don’t need to be fixed, they need to be enforced, you poinyoins!
This is what happens when centralized government grows monstrously big and then is placed in the hands of the progressives by an ignorant electorate. Ultimately, the only way back is the way back the founders employed – and I don’t want to live in such a mess.
Unfair, is it unfair to come to a country illegally? And why not do what Mexico does and just send them home … collect.
And what is fair about allowing those that are illegally here to reach out for the American dream?
I suggest that once you take away their wage advantage, what you get is a whole lot of welfare recipients and Democrat voters. And that is fair to whom?
This just disgusts me. I am so fed up with elected officials playing dictators.
Nobody does, but it is surely coming. The frustration level in this country is at a feverish point. The coming election in November, is the proverbial fork in the road for this Country.
I call that illegal in the first degree. Would any other crime be overlooked too?
At what point is criminality in the White House impeachable?
The Article I, Section 8, of the Constitution delegates to congress the power:
“To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization, and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States;”
What Barry and his merry band of Socialists are contemplating does not seem to be Constitutional. But why should that stop him? There are literally millions of undocumented Democratic voters that want to express their appreciation at the polls.
Between this, the ban on oil platforms, the EPA’s decision to regulate carbon, the shakedown of BP, the screwing over Chrysler bond holders, etc. it appears that Obama wants to be just like his pal Hugo Chavez. I am just waiting for Obama to declare himself, via executive order, the leader for life.
Another word of caution. The two point men fighting Obama’s push for amnesty? McCain and Kyl. Yeah, the two point me whose names were on the two amnesty bills the GOP pushed in 2006 and 2007.
It’s not the end result that they are fighting over but rather the “credit”. It’s a fight over the who wins the new Latino votes.
It may be considered too harsh, but Obama is NOT playing…he has ruled as a dictator virtually from the beginning of this administration. This is extremely serious.
The question is always, “What are you prepared to do about it?”
Very serious. He could get away with this — easy — and lock out Conservative voter demographics for good. Then the Green Agenda right on its heels — “for the common good (and welfare) of all humankind” and the critical masses will agree since any Right is incompassionate and evil.
Very serious indeed.

And the new Labor Sec is trying to do just that.
Ensuring undocumented workers get paid and improving worker safety are two priorities for the Department of Labor, its first Hispanic secretary said Wednesday.
Hilda Solis visited a green jobs event in northern New Jersey, where she said unpaid wages will continue to be a problem for day laborers until comprehensive immigration reform is undertaken at the federal level. But she cautioned that stabilizing the economy and health care reform must come first for President Barack Obama’s administration.
Now there is a comercial stating that the Labor Department is there to help.

You are corect in that TEH WON nor the powers behind his
throneperesidency are not playing. They are deadly serious in taking down this nation through upheaval and, if necessary, revolution. The USA is the only true remaining barrier to the NEW WORLD ORDER and one world government.TEH WON is moving as swiftly as possible toward the chaotic end of the USA as we’ve known, to circumvent any real opposition that rears up. We may not make it to NOvember at this rate. Even then, I’m not confident the GOP, if we DO make it to NOvember and should it gain the majorityin CONgress, has what it takes to put the brakes on and reverse the direction TEH ONE is taking us.
Executive Orders are basically powerless. All congress has to do is inact legislation to overturn it or defund and amnesty attempt. Executive Orders are not to be used to make law per the Supreme Court on prior cases of presidents misuse of Executive Orders.
Unfortunately we have had for decades weak congresses that have allowed this abuse.
Actually the first priority is to get them unionized so their union memberships can increase the flow of union dues.
Rags – the question is What CAN we do about it?????????
Sure, that’ll happen. THIS CONgress overturn an order designed to strengthen and ensure perpetual Democrat power?
That’s certainly a valid question, and it’s one that has answers. Note the plural.
Since our founding, a whole new ambit of individual empowerment was created, starting with Thoreau, and working up through Gandhi and King. Look up some Gandhi quotes, and see if you disagree with his observations about how powerless government is when the people withdraw their support.
That is one avenue of attack.
All MM Fans, please DO go the NumbersUSA Fax site, register and send all faxes on your Action Buffet. I have been doing that for years and it makes a difference.
Have you seen any MSM coverage of this letter? No and you will never. Only NumbersUSA covers ALL the immigration politics on the Hill.
That this is even contemplated, floated and/or attempted is deadly serious. The consequences of what could ensue is also deadly serious, and I mean violent. I am not advocating such a possibility, but we are coming to a crossroads that is reminiscent of the late 1850′s or early 1860′s, iykwim. The next several months could be very interesting. This is twilight zone stuff, for sure.
The progressives and this administration have wanted amnesty all along. They will settle for nothing less than amnesty. Amnesty was a huge mistake the first time.
It’s possible but I’m just wondering whether the perception of chaos is part of the plan to keep us all in a stressed state.
This administration loves to put out the illusion that they are seriously considering something disastrous. (For which the Republican pols must respond.)They seem to love to get us all in a jumble – moving from one catastrophe to another. It’s non stop. Makes me wonder what they are up to – that hand under the coat thing…
Republicans have no one to blame but themselves on this issue. Whether BHO issues an executive order, or whether congress passes amnesty, it’s going to happen and those folks aren’t going home.
The time to have taken action was during the Reagan and Bush 1 years when hispanics were only 5% of the population. Now that they are 15% and growing, no party will risk offending them.
Hindsight is 20/20, but this just goes to show that you should not let the Chamber of Commerce set your immigration policy any more than allowing a band of zealots to set your foreign policy.
We’re all thinking about November. O-bowmao has two more years in office. I’ve always wondered what he will do to halt the elections or create an issue to take over the government as a dictator. I laughed at myself early on in his administration and said “nah, that can’t happen in the US of A”. I stopped laughing when he took over the car industry, the banks and Wall street. This latest crisis with oil is just another way for him to push his agenda. We’d better be afraid.
As much as I hate Hussain Bambi I am fairly sure a President McCain would have already granted executive clemency/parole, whatever, to the illegals. We keep hearing the LIE that this will allow I.C.E. to concertrate on the criminal aliens; The McCain-Kennedy Bill gave Immigration exactly 24 hours to run background checks. Latin America, China, Vietnam and Russia have not been overly forward about opening their police files to us.
This rule by fiat marches on-fascism masked as compassion; it is closer to treason or coup, all too often Bi-Partisan treason. Rags – the question is What CAN we do about it?“” When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary”".
We should know in November.

Let your sidearm be like Master Card:
Don’t Leave home without it
My personal belief is this administration is purposely trying to incite a crisis that would create a uprising of the people to enact martial law.
To me this is excellent news. When you peel away the layers on the onion, IMHO what I smell is panic and desperation.
The peasants are at the gate with the battering ram, pitchofrks and torches in hand. Obama is out of time and he knows it. This mythical voting block is is only perceived hope for the 2010 elections.
If he attempts to do this by Executive Order within six months the EPA will place Democrats on the endangered species list. An order of this type is beyond a Hail Mary; it’s grasping at the tree root sticking out of the cliff as you go over.
OT, but not really…
http://hotair.com/archives/2010/06/23/new-home-sales-collapse-in-may/
And, of course, this was unexpected….
Exactly. I read that and saw that THIS is the specific problems Republicans have. Statements like “our immigration laws need to be fixed” is nothing more than pandering. They want to say it EXACTLY like that so it will mean whatever someone who reads it WANTS it to mean.
To an illegal it means… “These stupid gringo’s will give me citizenship and more free stuff.”
To an IGNORANT republican constituent, it will mean “We need to enforce border security.”
But to rest of us, it is utter and complete bull s@#^. Our laws are pretty much fine the way they are, except for the anchor-baby issue.
If they want to make that statement… “we need to fix…” they need to be forced to say EXACTLY WHAT IT IS THEY THINK NEEDS TO BE FIXED.
Legal by executive order? F*@# Y@% Mr. President. They need to ALL be deported. Period.
When they’re running the show, the donks’ attitude toward executive orders was neatly stated by the Clintonoid Paul Begala:
“Stroke of the pen. Law of the land. Kinda cool.”
I was thinking last night about the difference between George “Miss Me Yet?” Bush and Hope-a-Dope when it comes to listening to the American People:
The former had a very thick skin, which made him seem impervious to criticism, but with the most notable exception of the surge in Iraq would back down when it became clear that his ideas were wildly unpopular (Harriet Miers, the Dubai port deal, Social Security reform, comprehensive immigration reform).
The latter has a very thin skin, and bristles when questioned or challenged, and is also quite contemptuous of the popular will when it doesn’t support where he wants to go (Donkey-care being the most glaring example). Thus, his resort to executive orders on things like environmentalism and — ultimately — energy policy, immigration, and even free speech.
The left liked to call Bush arrogant, but he could at least read and react to the winds of popular will. Hope-a-Dope is both arrogant and inflexible, and only knows how to double-down even on losing bets.
I miss George Bush…
Creating chaos and allowing solvable problems to mushroom into crises are parts of the progressives plan. Deliberate divisiveness, distractions and overwhelming multiple crises keep the opposition from being able concentrate and focus on just one issue at a time.
I do have a question. When all of these illegals are “legal”. Will these companies lay them off and hire cheaper illegals?
Just wonderin’.
Quo Warranto
The mouthpiece for ‘Bambi that told the illegals they would help with payraises and benefits, hummmm – that alone just might level the playing field….when you have to pay an illegal the same as a skilled/literate employee (especially one that cannot write his own name without assistance), who do they think employers will hire? Our country will turn into the biggest welfare state in the history of the world and implode.
Greece can’t hold a candle to us, by golly, for mismanagement. There is no one to bail us out though. All China has to do is withhold $$ and we’re toast.
No idea.
But what these illegals ARE doing is using fraudulent documents to get past the I-9 form they have to fill out if they are being legitimately put on a payroll.
In other cases, probably more typical, illegals are paid in case. Thereby evading any sort of income tax. The employer is also evading taxing.
Felonies I believe.
These are the people Obama and RINO’s want to give a HUGE pass to….
This can’t be allowed to happen.
***
Many conservatives talk about building the border fence, hiring more Border Patrol people, putting in drones, using our military on the border as the ways to fix the “undocumented immigrant” (aka ILLEGAL ALIEN) problems.
***
Yes–these actions should be taken. But two much more important steps should be taken to solve these problems–before any “normalization of status” (aka AMNESTY) is discussed.
***
First–adopt the Mexican Immigration Laws–minus the inherent racism in them. These laws put Mexican Citizens first. They make illegal entry a 2 years in prison felony, with a 10 year castigo for subsequent offenses. And they require all police, government, and business persons to verify immigration and citizenship status before providing any services. And they require reporting illegals to the authorities–who can arrest them and ship them out of the country immediately. And a central list of all holding tourist, student, or other permits is used to stop those who overstay their permit times from “disappearing” in Mexico. Property ownership is also restricted to Mexican Citizens–51 percent of a business must be owned by Mexican Citizens.
***
Second–issue all American Citizens and legal immigrants and visitors a modern forgery proof Social Security computer / biometric I.D. card–like the military CAC cards. Maintain a national database on these cards. Fine and jail anyone who employs or provides services to persons who are not on the list. Require all voters to present this card at the polling places–and fine and jail any who vote more than once in an election.
***
When this is done and the country is no longer overrun by ILLEGAL ALIENS–then start thinking about a Bracero type program to admit workers for limited time periods as necessary.
***
It’s not rocket science–just common sense–like Mexico uses. Vote out Comrade Obama and his ilk and take back our country for real Americans–of all racial and ethnic groups who follow our laws.

My guess is that if the Obamanation can do this, he’ll have it timed just right so that the illegal immigrants can get their citizenship and registered to vote in November, yet have it be to short a time for any impeachment or legal proceedings to overturn it before the democrats get their re-election.
Any uprising, which will be disorganized and uncoordinated, will be stopped with firepower, and the tyrant will then use those small uprisings as a means to say “Conservatives, espeically Tea Party members, are domestic terrorists, and should be removed by any means necessary.”
And *that* is where the story ends.
Count the time it takes to submit the paper work and register to vote back from November.
If you want 10 million new mostly Democrat voters, why not?
The only reason is the one Americans give the President.
Obama will crap out on November 2, 2010.

Don’t forget the illegals can claim exempt on their tax papers for employment when they use their fradulent documents to get passed the I-9 form.
I do not think so-I would hope the military would not support an Obama coup-in-place. The FBI and federal police agencies would I am sure but I think-I hope, that is as far as it would go. We were born in a revolution against a great power-let the legacy continue. Now, as then, there will be cowards and traitors-now as then they will have to leave.

An Armed Society is a polite society.
God must really love the stupid poor, because he made so many of them! Without employers, who needs employees? Without businesses, who will pay the 35% from penny one on profits? Without businesses which are profitable, who will all the lawyers sue? Without businesses, who will contribute to all the charitable causes? Without businesses who pays the taxes which fund the colleges, and research grants. THE ANSWER IS NO ONE, BECAUSE WITHOUT BUSINESSES, YOU HAVE NO EMPLOYEES PAYING TAXES, SO BUSINESS IS GONE, EMPLOYMENT IS GONE, AND TAX COLLECTIONS CAN’T FUND ALL THE SOCIALIST DREAMS OF THE LIBERAL LEFT! This is what is happening all over the world now.
We have allowed the world to use our country as a dumping ground for those they don’t want to feed, educate, provide housing and medical for, and the citizens that fund it have never pushed back. Why would they take us seriously now?
The environmental impact alone should wake the media up to it’s downsides. There was a move a few years ago for joining the Sierra Club and gaining a majority to push that very point. Much of the S.W. is simply not sustainable with the growth we’ve seen.

Though I’ve told of this encounter before… it’s a good example of what’s going on…
During a visit to my local ER… a hispanic man was in front of me in line. He apparently spoke little english. The nurse at the desk was asking as she looked at an ID he had given her…… “Is this you?”
He nodded indicating “yes”.
Then she continued…
“… because you were here yesterday and you had a different name.”
What’s this BS? that is the response you get from a typical Republican/ RINO we’ll join with you guys and FIX the problem the way you want.
We are cooked. I have to ask one more time and not the last I’m sure, when is enough, enough?
What’s most depressing about Obamnesty’s circumventing of the Constitution is that the same damned thing would be happening if McCamnesty won in ’08.
This would mean an end to our sovereignty completely. If you think I am overstating it consider this: We do not know who is here, thus we do not know who specifically gets amnesty, thus anyone who claims it gets it. So any and everyone who makes it onto our soil, by hook or crook, is an American citizen.
This is the face of the new global world order. Who will be its master?
I thought we had a constitutional government, governed by the people for the people not an illegal citizen as dictator.
I’M convinced nothing to fight this Marxist take over is going to take place. Day by day, piece by piece they are changing our country and nothing, is being done about it but BS words. One day one wakes up and resides to the defeat and do their best to fall inline with these un_American bastards. one and all…then reluctantly say good-bye to America.
I will never submit, to a dictator.
Daily this bho comes up with things that seem to want we citizens get past our tipping point. I believe all this is done for a reason. Could an unrest in our Republic deem that the Nov. elections are too risky to have? This bho and team knows things are changing in Nov. against them. I DO NOT trust this bho one tiny bit! Thank God for MM, HA, Rush, Glenn, Fox, and so many others who are giving us the truth. I have not a clue how we will stop this bho, but if we do get a majority maybe we can.

I think secession would occur before violent uprisings. BTW, the military pledges allegiance to the constitution, not the president. Any order to put down insurrection would probably be lethargic to the point of being ineffective. Just a guess.
The key to taking back the country is to starve the beast- no taxes paid to the Fed but rather to your state. No money, no power. Of course this method only works PRECISELY because of the 2nd Ammendment. The ability to resist tyranny.
If the borders and entry points and immigration laws will continue to be unenforced, yes they will. Companies will always seek to pay the lowest wages they can. Which is why many towns in the south and midwest have been overrun with third world immigrants.
Not so long ago, Tyson, for example, layed off all just about all their employees at a chicken processing plant in an Arkansas town – US citizens earing IIRC $15/hr or so and bussed in immigrants to the town as new workers paying them half what was paid to the original employees, and putting strain on the towns economic, social, and educational systems to accomodate the new ill-educated, non-english speaking, culturally backward, town residents.
That would be no surprise. Seeing what this admin and congress have already been doing, it is within the realm of possibilities. Its going to be a long summer.

I wonder if this will be the final straw…
What will it take to remind the government about that “consent of the governed” thing they have obviously forgotten about?
I’ve been asking the same question and I think we have to “go Arizona” on them. They have no concept of fiscal conservatism so we have to cut them off. State we can no longer afford to pay for anyone other than our own families. The only way to nullify the government largess is to bankrupt them. Then all government contracts (civil service pensions and perks) are null and void. Reset the system.
Actually, we’ll all just be World Citizens. Immagine – no borders – no nations. John Lennon would be happy.
People of Arizona what are you thinking or are you, excluding people like AN here, i see Rasmussen poll as of yesterday has Juan McAmnesty running with an 11% point lead of Hayworth. apparently Hayworth may of had some dirt or dust on his shoes, that has been brushed off. I’d vote him over McShame, any day…Hayworth wouldn’t take the side of illegals as McAmnesty is doing. Yes, he still is, just listen or read what he says, he is still pushing for comprehensive immigration, just using different words, but the same crap.
Com on Arizona save America, your on the right track with Gov. Brewer, now get rid of that RINO McCain.
Now if you think that’s something only a progressive would say, your racist, homophobe that can’t see the truth (RedEye on Fox).
tiredofit08 >> If barry does this there will be little we can do other than get Congress to enact some legislation…
On the contrary, it is my view that if barry does this, options to oppose him will suddenly be hugely enlarged…almost infinitely wide-open. Health care was passed with a thousand small acts of corruption and deceit. But this is a big, bold, naked step; this is a case of a POTUS going rogue, trampling on the constitution. No nattering over fine legalisms, the president will have entered Hugo Chavez territory. This is the kind of leap aspiring tyrants inevitably make.
Caesar had his Brutus, Charles the First his Cromwell…and Barak Obama may profit by their example. If Obama takes a bold, tyrannical step outside the common understanding of the constitution, he will electrify patriots everywhere. He’d be prudent to remember that the ultimate sovereign power resides in the people. And at some point, the people will act by whatever means necessary to end his usurpations and restore their freedom.
The silence from Reverends Jackson and Sharpton is deafening — and idiotic. Who do you think is going to start losing jobs wholesale — much less get one — if illegals “get legal”? Even back ’86 when I was at the big hotel at Tandy Center in Ft. Worth, you could count the black workers there on one hand. We’re looking at job race-wars in the face, people.

He was also quoted as saying:
You Say You Want A Revolution?
Americans need to make ILLEGAL immigration/Amnesty a top issue at the local, state and Federal levels.
- Ask every single candidate, of every party, for every office, very SPECIFIC questions about their positions on illegal immigration and then publicize their answers, good or bad, to help us all make good decisions at the ballot box in Primary, Special and General Elections.
- Boycott any business you suspect of hiring ILLEGAL aliens and tell the owners why they lost your business.
- Apply peer pressure to anybody you know who hires an ILLEGAL alien as a nanny, contractor, mover or for any other project.
- Talk to your friends, family and neighbors about the cost of ILLEGAL immigration so they understand how important this issue is.
- Encourage your State Representatives to support legislation like Arizona to stop ILLEGAL immigration.
- Encourage your local government to enforce drug laws to reduce the drug trade that fuels ILLEGAL immigration.
What else can we do! Please share your suggestions.
*As JFK once said, “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable”; He might just as well been talking about this administration, continuing to take action against the will of the people!
I have always had in mind what the ultimate limits are within which this president can pursue his objectives:
He must not move against conservative free speech on the radio or the Internet;
He (including his congressional allies) must not attempt to pack the Senate by abrupt DC or Puerto Rican statehood;
He and his party must not be blatant in their attempts to steal elections by fraudulent voting;
He must not act in an extra-constitutional or dishonest and deceptive way to suddenly enfranchise millions of illegal aliens to permanently tip the political balance in the country to the left.
***
If he commits any of these high crimes, it will be the right and duty of the citizens to correct the situation.
How so
is this possibility
just another
“oh, many Presidents have done this; it’s nothing new,”
and not
an impeachable offense?
Amnesty doesn’t fix lack of enforcement or a bloated backward bureaucracy dealing with legal immigration. At what point does the gov reap the downside of not enforcing its own laws? Will it take a massive civil disobedience on the part of all citizens to get attention? What will work against those who are so stuck in their agendas that they won’t listen to the public? Is there some new tactic that get through to them that they need to restore the Constitution? The tipping point is coming and we need to be ready to push toward the Constitution and to not allow any further march toward serfdom.
If he does this, governors should sue. The constitution clearly gives Congress the responsibility over this, not the executive branch.
If he is allowed to do this, it will be absolute end of Congressional authority of any kind.
I am so sick and tired of people saying that we cannot send the illegals back!!! Why Not?? they didn’t come here 5 0r 10 million at a time. They came here in 1′s and 2′s and 10′s and 20′s they can go back the same way!!! Eventually it will add up.
I read an article from California where it was mentione that ten years ago most of the dry wallers in the LA area were blacks making $19-$20 per hour. They have been replaced by illegals who make $4-$5 an hour and the blacks, of course, are unemployed or working minimum wage and likely on government support.
The Reverends are silent. What does that tell you?
The people who made $19-$20 an hour and had their jobs stolen were AMERICANS.
“Doing the jobs Ameicans won’t do.” D@mn liars.
If he does and The Congress does not sue that will speak volumes.
The man in the WH thinks he’s Caesar. He just issues an order and expects everyone to obey. The heck with the Constitution. Is our Constitution to be filed away and forgotten, like so many others? Not if the citizens of this country wise up and demand that the law be obeyed.

Here’s the satellite map of Pima county.
You can zoom all the way in and follow the trails leading from the Mexican border into the U.S. Not hard to figure out the routes the smugglers are using. Apparently too complex a task for the U.S. government.
Even if amnesty is granted, these trails will still exist and the invasion will continue.

You could cede the 5 western states to Mexico tomorrow and within 5 years you would not be able to tell the difference between them. No prosperity, infrastructure broken, gang wars, drug cartels ruling whole areas, citizens afraid, and local/state law enforcement ignoring it all..nevermind, there are places like that here now.
It’s hard to lift yourself up when you’re busy holding your hand out all the time.
24Klady #93: Not only would you not be able to tell the difference, they’d still be flooding over the borders into what would still be the US side.

Yet, they’d still expect the same services and benefits prior criminals that skipped legal entry enjoyed. To the uneducated, those things are free. Part of their civil rights package./sarc
The bill of goods that is being touted by ‘Bambi is out and out fraud. What makes anyone think crime will go down, they’ll consume less welfare and social services, they’ll have an incentive to finish school and language classes, they’ll drink/drive less, cease teaching their children to hate whites/blacks/asians and suddenly become the model citizens we’d all like to have? ‘Bambi’s delusional if he believes that.
Why do people keep bringing up “impeachment?”
Do a quick count in the House and Senate. The GOP may take back the House in 2010. It is less likely that the GOP will take back the House and Senate.
Even if they do, they need 67 votes in the Senate to convict in a trial. That means 33 Democrats can prevent a conviction.
Please stop talking about impeachment. It isn’t going to happen. Maybe by 2012 we can start talking about indictments against former President Obama but if ever a president was likely to pardon himself it is this guy…
Obama must be impeached. He has no choice but to make them legal if he wants to stay in power. We must stop him. It’s our last stand and it starts now.
ThatSamIAm,
Did you not read the previous post? Seriously, “impeachment” is not just a dream. It is downright delusional…
Even if Impeachment was an option, it would be such a legal circus that he’d need a 3rd term just in order to actually be president when the impeachment was acted upon.
I bet this will go over well with the folks …
Wishing for impeachment is akin to wishing someone finds his actual birth certificate. If anyone has it it’s either Soros or the big guys in Beijing. I’d take either one but chances are slim and none it’ll happen.
We should take over Mexico….it would be cheaper, faster and we get oil resources along with beach front property.
…in my best Jim Carrey voice:
ALLLLLLLLLLL
RIGHTEY
THENNNNN…………….
Since there are more than a handful of “sceptics” out there who say, in effect,
“impeachment? fuggetaboutit!”
Riddle me this, you cynics:
Though there are not yet “the numbers” (of “opposition”…for lack of better words), just what do you propose,
if not adhering to our Constitution?!?
Are those of you “sceptics” above all preparing your brownshirts to claim you were “true believer” all along?!?
Snap to it!! Mach schnell!!!
havoc (take over Mexico)
Look at all the other resources, besides oil, we could acquire as well.. Plus, being just a hop skip and a jump from our good buddy, Hugo.

As long as we have a gaggle of lefty judges on the court – what Constitution?
