Responding to Obama’s plan to override Congress in order to grant immunity to young illegals, Rep. Allen West says that we are getting away from representative government and are starting to live under a ‘rule by edict’. He adds that this proposal has more to do with political expediency than finding an appropriate solution to our immigration problem:

West did good, but West and the others in DC, can talk and talk until the damn sun burns out.
IF they, as a group, don’t get off of their collective asses and do something about it, all this talk becomes a waste of freaking time.
Welcome.
Romney is in a room with 12 writers, all wetting their pants and biting their nails, trying to craft something that sounds strong to non Hispanics and pandering to Hispanics.
You are right, of course, BUT if, I repeat, IF the republicans are upset about this, it is ONLY because obama stole their playbook, (via Rubio,) to try and capture some of the latino vote. THAT little game is now dead in the water. The republicans will do nothing. If they do, or try to, it would be hypocritical in the extreme because they had intended to do exactly the same thing.
They were skunked.
:: young immigrants who arrived before they turned 16 will be allowed to apply for work permits as long as they have no criminal history ::
Another intersting side to this is the above portion of the change is the qualifier that they “young immigrant” must not have a “criminal record”.
Carefully crafted but easily “loop holed”, I think. See, if they attempt to claim their status they must neccessarily confess to being a criminal (undocumented immigration status).
I’m sure Arpaio will be tossing them out left-and-right using this.
Yeah, right. Like open-borders Romney would do that. He's more likely to try and figure out how to expand it without getting his own hands dirty.
:: This means that Romney can reverse this edict as soon as he is augurated ::
Romney? He’d lose his gardners if he did that!
“I have to wonder if we’re past the point of trying to resolve this through “legal” means.”
I agree. I’m done hearing about speeches, and meetings, and BS TV spots about how “outraged” the talking heads are. We ALL need to be marching in the streets of DC. It’s shameful that “writing emails to our congresscritters” is the theme of the day. These POS don’t even have a position! Much gnashing of teeth coming, I’m sure. And then......nothing. We have ourselves to blame.
Thanks for the welcome. I read here all the time but this Dictator has really upset me.Why do we do this with 14% real unemployment. If we did’nt pay people to sit on their butts for 99 weeks about $3000 a month they might go mow lawns and work on roofing. We compete with employers and then say “but they are jobs Americans won’t do” BS!! This country is so screwed up it is pathetic. Where is Romney? Our Leader?
If Mittens wanted a Vice-President;it is Allen West.
Someone needs to tell the black community that the DemonRat party is getting themselves some new (n word)s. Dems are arming the Mexican drug cartels while keeping guns away from blacks in the big cities. They build abortion clinics in black neighborhoods and give away birth control while encouraging Hispanics to have lots of anchor babies.
I agree! Allen West would make a wonderful VP. I would vote for him for President if he ran. I think he has all the qualifications and more.
YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES
AMEN! It is LONG past time for this, politics be damned. DO WHAT'S RIGHT FOR A CHANGE, DAMN IT!!
Hey blacks, half honky Obama (he might be a white Hispanic) has just thrown your arses under the bus. There are a lot more Juan’s and Juanita’s to become dem voters than blacks. So blacks will now get displaced off the inner cities’ plantations (share of welfare benefits) to make room for dem’s new voter pets.
only 58.6 percent of all working age Americans have a job .
