Palin: Obama 'pandering' on immigration
Politico ^ | 6/16/12 | JAMES HOHMANN

Posted on 06/15/2012 9:47:08 PM PDT by Bratch

LAS VEGAS — Sarah Palin on Friday condemned President Barack Obama’s new immigration policy as both unconstitutional and cravenly political.

“He’s absolutely pandering to a specific demographic that no doubt polls have shown … he would be helped in this demographic if he just makes this move,” the former Alaska governor told POLITICO late Friday as she left the Venetian hotel after a speech to the RightOnline conference. “And I say that because all of President Obama’s actions are based on polls that are provided him that would lead him to believe he can garner support for his reelection bid.”

She decried the executive order declared Friday as “amnesty” that violates Congress’s constitutional right to pass laws.

“Our president still doesn’t understand the three branches of government,” she said. “He thinks he can usurp the Congressional branch of our government and dictate and mandate a policy like this.”

The 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee said it will make the borders more porous.

She took umbrage about an explanation she read in the press that said the law would only affect “law-abiding illegal immigrants.”

“That is a contradiction right there,” she said in the interview. “I think we need to characterize it and describe it more accurately. It’s called illegal for a reason.”

Sarah Palin is right. so now will the many freepers who said that Palin supported McCain's Amnesty , will they apologize now?

Democrats tried to pass the Dream Act which is Amnesty for illegals. Republicans blocked it in Congress. Now Obama passes the Dream act by decree against the will of congress and of the American people. Obama is illegally aiding the invasion. This act by Obama is treason, illegal, and an injustice. Obama must be impeached. Now every 3rd world moron who is under 30 will move to America.

Mittens cannot help it, he’s gotta pander to illegals. He has no core and is without scruples. Pander, pander, pander — that’s all he knows to do. What a worthless POS he is.

Yeah damn that Romney, why he just passed the Dream Act by a dictatorial edict. That Romney is such a dictator.

Now back to reality:

Obama just passed the Dream Act by decree . Democrats tried to pass the Dream act which is Amnesty for illegals.We all fought hard to defeat it. Republicans in Congress blocked it. But now Obama passes the Dream act by edict. Now Obama became a dictator .And the media covers for it and even those here will move on to other “important” topics like Rodney King. The media will definitely focus on Rodney King , anything to hide the high crime Obama just committed.

The liberal media rules the U.S.A. . The media support this dictatorial act by Obma. They are statists/socialists who are for enslaving all of us.

Yup. Romney wouldn't have the cajones to do this, but he, Rubio, and other Republican establishment elites are secretly happy that Obama did it. Stroke of a pen, force of law, kinda cool.

No one is pitching a bitch about the ILLEGAL act Obama has done. The political class on both sides are considering illegal aliens as potential voters! They don't give a damn about the Constitution or rule of law; it's all situational ethics with a purely political motivation.

Has anyone done the math on how much 800,000 less jobs will effect the unemployment number? It seems it would go up between 8.7 to 9.0. ....and thats with 800,000. But anyone can claim they are under 30 and have been here 5 years and were brought here before they were 16. I’d be surprised if there is a single Mexican under the age of 30 without an American Work Permit before November rolls in.

He can and does only because Congress (both Republican & Democrat) allow him to get away with it.

ummm, shall I assume you think the liberal Supreme Court Justices are the same as the conservative ones? For whatever it's worth - the liberal talking points about 'their all the same - only our guy is more likable' is bullsh*t...

“law-abiding illegal immigrants.”

What about “law-abiding illegal bank robbers” or “law-abiding illegal rapists” ???
