— DrewM Yesterday Obama ordered the Department of Homeland Security to come up with some BS cover for him to not enforce immigration laws. Today Chuck Schumer tells Republicans give in because you can't beat a lawless tyrant bent on the destruction of the rule of law.
It's crystal clear where the issue of immigration reform is headed, and Republicans have only two choices to make. They can either help pass comprehensive reform which will greatly reduce the flow of illegal immigrants, grow our economy by bringing in needed workers in high tech and agriculture areas, and provide a hard-earned path to eventual citizenship for the 11 million in the shadows, or they can sit idly by and watch the President greatly curtail deportations while 11 million continue to live in limbo here in America. The choice is clear; a reform bill has the support of liberals, moderates, and conservatives and all we need is the courage of the Republican leadership to make the right and obvious choice.
Even if you're on Team Amnesty are you really willing to be blackmailed by Barack Obama and Chuck Schumer?
Shouldn't McCain, Rubio, Boehner and the rest make a stand for the Constitution and insist they won't support any deals with a President who refuses to recognize any check on what he can do?
Instead of passing meaningless bills, Boehner needs to make it clear there will be a price to pay if Obama continues to flaunt the laws. If the GOP won't stand up for the rule of law, what exactly is their purpose?

Declaration of Dame Christy, 14th March 2015-Eleventy
Some days I simply cannot read the destruction of the Constitution and our country by this bunch of Alinsky jacknapes and Dems.

Basically, he's stripping any fig leaf or cover Republicans could use to come out in favor by telling them: "We are not going to follow ANY enforcement or border provisions you put in the new law."
John McCain is looking for his fluffer since his crippled hands can't satisfy the raging boner he has at the thought of this . . . .

Since it is not rational to assume a sitting POTUS can't keep 1/3 of the House or Senate he can't be impeached so long as that minimum is Party people. What that means is a Democrat POTUS is a King in everything but term of office and they will eventually solve that.
Nobody wants to come out and SAY that, especially the Republicans.

...........
Exactly.. ODumbo isn't deporting anybody as it is..
What they did is this:
A lot of the captures at the border are being driven to another town and released there back into Mexico. They are now counting those "returns" as "deportations".
So, basically as the border patrol gets better at their jobs, Obama looks like he's doing more deporting.. but he's not.
And, even with that, the numbers are down 10% last year.

Hundreds of Belgians flock to glowing Virgin Mary statue
Yahoo! News: http://tinyurl.com/kqhnftq
Brussels (AFP) - Hundreds of people have been flocking to a house in southern Belgium to catch a glimpse of a small statue of the Virgin Mary which reportedly glows in the dark.
Local media reported that on Wednesday, 500 people visited the house in the normally quiet town of Jalhay to witness what is being referred to as "the mysterious glowing Virgin"...
"The mysterious glowing Virgin." I don't know why, but I got a kick out of that title.
Personally I suspect it's some kind of bioluminescent fungus, but it would be nice if it were truly miraculous. Europe could use some religion.

Um....go ahead do what you want, you don't need us would be my answer.
But again, all of this is in terms of the election, amnesty, minimum wage, unemployment.....etc. All to distract from obamacare. I think it will work and chuckycheesy will still be in the majority.

Ironically, Instapundit linked a story yesterday that mentioned that Obama deported as many people in one term as Bush did in two. The difference is apparently being made up in people who came to the country as very young kids, never get citizenship for whatever reason (the guy in the story thought that it had been taken care of when he was in the Army), and then run afoul of the law at some point.

One thing I do know, is that when Chuck Schumer speaks, all members of the Republican Party leap to do his bidding. His charisma is so commanding that they cannot help themselves. Why, just earlier this year at his barely uttered statement that "Amnesty is such a nice word, don't you think?" the entire Republican Party - without defections - passed a sweeping amnesty for everything.
I know this is true because I read it here. Or maybe it was the barbeque just before bedtime. Either way - it is Chuck Schumer. None can resist him.

The ratio of bullshit to truth in that statement is obscene.
You don't "reduce the flow of illegal immigrants" by making illegal immigrants legal. If that worked, we could reduce the number of future bank robberies by granting amnesty to past bank robbers.
We can already bring in needed workers in high tech under the H1-B visa process.
Hispanic illegal immigrants don't work in high tech. By and large, they do unskilled work that could be done by actual low-skilled Americans. Also, they use far more in public benefits than they pay for in taxes. They are a net drain on public resources.
A "hard earned path to citizenship" doesn't include slipping un under the rope. People who want to earn citizenship should do it by obeying the law and proving that they will be an asset to America, not a burden.
Fuck Schumer, the lying scum.

The temptation was unbearable. All he got from me was a very dirty look. Posted by: J.J. Sefton at March 14, 2014 01:21 PM (olDqf)
Imagine how much Lysol the cleaning staff in teh senate office building has to go through cleaning up the slime trail Schumer leaves.

Rush has explicitly and repeatedly acknowledged that he's an entertainer. I give him credit for his honesty in that regard.
Posted by: Hollowpoint at March 14, 2014 01:25 PM (SY2Kh)
See, that's what I don't get about lib hipsters. They are supposed to be sooooo smart and cynical and discerning, but they completely take Rush's comments at face value, assume he really is an egotistical blowhard and an evil machiavellian. When if you actually listen to him for any period of time, you can tell a lot of the bravado is an act, though his sincerity for conservatism and his love of the country is 100% genuine. Hipsters SHOULD find his act ironically hip, were they more intelligent, and treat Rush like a political Grumpy Cat. But politics uber alles.
Or maybe I am reading Rush completely wrong?

No, it shouldn't. It should be in the business of providing clear regulations (mostly at the state level). And that would be a very good "repeal the whole mess, lets just try normal regulation as done before." proposal.

Nope, you've got it right.
It's just that most people (esp. Hipsters) only "know" Rush based on imitations of Rush, jokes about Rush, or fake controversies where Rush has been quoted out of context (e.g. a joke line treated as if Rush were being serious).

That's not replacement. When anyone talks about "repeal and replace," that is not what they're talking about. I don't care if they say that IS what they're talking about, because it's not. When you leave the "replace" terminology in there it implies that there is something being removed that must be filled in again. That is not what we want. We want this leviathan removed, and then we want that hole EXCAVATED so that the free market can pour in.
Repeal. Just repeal. Don't say that the other legislative actions that must take place are "replacing" Obamacare, because "replacing" implies "taking its place." No. Just repeal, then pass the necessary laws and write the regulations to allow the free market insurance industry to operate in a more efficient and cost effective manner. Take government out of the situation.

I do give a fuck. But I also recognize that I can't do much about it. Hispanics vote 70/30 Democrat. Even without illegals, every year there are something like 750K new Hispanics turning 18 who are US citizens. In the not too distant future Texas will be Democrat. And then it's over. And there's nothing you or I or the GOP can do about it.
And yes the GOP did have the house in the 50s.

Many on here will tell you, the GOP's purpose is to get "R's" elected, and that is all we care about. What the GOP actually does is of no concern to you. You must blindly vote for the GOP no matter what or else a "D" will win an election.
Don't you understand? You are focusing entirely on the wrong thing. All that matters is which political party wins an election. Everything else is completely irrelevant and you are a truecon, psycho, irrational, jerk if you even mention these things.
Carry on now. Work to get "R's" elected. That will solve everything.

Have more kids. Deport 11M illegals. Tighten voter registration and ID laws. Redistrict to reduce the influence of areas with high population density. Give corporations a vote (1 per 941 employee). Give the head of household/parents a vote for each dependent. Ban spending Federal money on political organizations (like unions). End the EITC. (we could go on for days)

In an effort to obtain information on their rivals, DEA agents and U.S. attorneys met with leaders of Mexican drug trafficking organizations, especially the notoriously violent Sinaloa cartel.
That is the same trafficking organization that received the bulk of the firearms intentionally dispensed to drug cartels in Mexico under ATF’s 2009 “Fast and Furious" operation according to a congressional investigation. ATF is a DOJ component as well.

What "consequences" can Boehner threaten? Another shutdown? Have we not learned that Republicans ALWAYS get blamed for shutdowns? And the public - even pluralities of Republicans - oppose that as a political weapon, PERIOD?
But, yeah, blame Boehner. Blame McConnell. Circle the firing squad. But never call out the self-important white voters who stayed home rather than vote for Romney. Because they were "sending a message" or something.
