Obama Goes It Alone, Shielding Up To 5 Million Immigrants From Deportation

[tay]

To me this 'immigration' debacle is the same as allowing TFW's to stay in Canada and further undermine Canadian labour Laws and wages.........




But this was funny...........

Reagan signed legislation passed by Congress in order to grant amnesty. In doing so he screwed up because he believed the promises that the border would be secured. Reagan was foolish to believe. Current opposition to amnesty is informed by Reagan's experience. The opponents of amnesty for pendejos are acting a posteriori.

Obama isn't working from any legislation. He's acting unilaterally. Obama's actions are sui generis.

The proposed executive action on immigration (or whatever name you want to give it) will allow [illegal aliens] who have US citizen or green-card children and who have been here for five years to apply for some kind of quasi-status and open market work authorization. That would allow them to work for a period of time at any employer, the authorization presumably renewable until they decide to leave or have an option for US permanent resident status (green card status). This, the administration tells us, is fair and just and Biblical – yada/yada.
But this option is explicitly NOT available to those in the US in a valid legal status. There are millions of people in the US who have temporary status – as students or temporary workers or researchers or as investors (lots of Koreans own businesses with E-2 investor visas, for example). These people – many of them have US citizen children and have been here five years. These people who have been here legally and not violated their immigration status – these people are explicitly NOT eligible for open market work authorization, renewable indefinitely.
You must be in violation of the law to benefit from this provision.

Poor Obama...

Obama Puzzled by Pro-Amnesty Hecklers: 'I Just Took an Action to Change the Law!'

Latinos are still giving the Emperor a hard time.

I wouldn't call him an "emperor." I think "dictator" is more in keeping with reality.

I wasn't sure of the theme I should go with... the Latinos screaming at him or the "I changed the law."


I chose the Latinos STILL being upset.


However him saying "I changed the law" is once again showing him to be over stepping his office.

Reagan did it.The bill that was passed in the Senate is almost an exact copy of GW Bush's bill.
So instead of addressing a problem with solutions the Republicans played a slow game.
This is only valid for 3 years and the Republicans will tear themselves apart over this.
And there are approx 6 million not covered under this temporary measure.

I don't care if the Republicans tear themselves apart. There is no solution to illegal immigration for America. It will never stop. It's not possible to have a welfare state in direct proximity to a third world country and expect the welfare state to survive. Assimilation is dead as a concept. Multiculturalism is dead as a concept. America is not a society or a political entity. It is simply a place.

Well, if illegal immigration won't work legalize it!

I guess that would be one approach. Or everyone in the world could be "deemed" to be an American citizen. But the fundamental problem is that there is nothing which unifies the residents of the USA into one people. There is no longer a unifying principle. In the absence of an American identity the US becomes sort of like Babylon writ large.

Wouldn't National pride be a unifying factor?

A federal judge on Tuesday threw out a lawsuit brought against Barack Obama by an Arizona police chief who called the U.S. president's sweeping immigration reforms unconstitutional, saying the plaintiff lacked legal standing in the case.


Judge Beryl Howell of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia denied the demand by Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio for a preliminary injunction to halt the policies.


Arpaio, who calls himself "America's Toughest Sheriff," filed the case last month, saying Obama had overstepped his powers by bypassing Congress and ordering the changes himself.


Arpaio's lawsuit said the reforms, which eased the threat of deportation for about 4.7 million undocumented immigrants, amounted to an amnesty and would encourage more people to cross the border illegally.


Beryl's 33-page decision said Arpaio did not meet the legal requirements to qualify as a person of standing in bringing the case on constitutional grounds.


The biggest overhaul to immigration in a generation has set up a confrontation between the president and Republicans, who will take full control of Congress in January and have said the president had gone too far by imposing the changes.

You're putting the cart before the horse. People must actually coalesce in solidarity in order to perceive themselves as a single people. Only then will they believe in the existence of "their" nation, its nationhood, and the pride of ownership. What's missing is a cause for the residents of the US to coalesce in solidarity. The missing element is what I call a "unifying principle."
