Gov. Jan Brewer bars public benefits for illegal immigrants

PHOENIX - Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer on Wednesday ordered state agencies to deny driver's licenses and other public benefits to young illegal immigrants who obtain work authorizations under a new Obama administration policy.

In an executive order, Brewer said she was reaffirming the intent of current Arizona law denying taxpayer-funded public benefits and state identification to illegal immigrants.

Young illegal immigrants around the nation on Wednesday began the process of applying for federal work permits under the Obama administration's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals.

The federal policy defers deportations for that group if they meet certain criteria, including arrival in the United States before they turned 16 and no convictions for certain crimes.

After President Barack Obama announced the policy change in June, Brewer labeled it ``backdoor amnesty'' and political pandering by the Democratic president.

Arizona has been in the vanguard of states enacting laws against illegal immigration.

The U.S. Supreme Court in June overturned parts of the Arizona enforcement law known as SB1070 but ruled that a key provision on requiring police to ask people about their immigration status under certain circumstances can be implemented.

The Obama administration challenged that law in 2010 after Brewer signed it into law.

In the past decade, Arizona voters twice approved laws denying publicly funded services, such as in-state resident university tuition rates, to illegal immigrants unless mandated by the federal government.

Brewer's order said the policy's federal paperwork doesn't confer lawful status on illegal immigrants and won't entitle them to Arizona public benefits...

During the debates you can bet the Obama Media (who asks the questions) and Obama will put Romney and Ryan on the spot on two different issues.

1) What will you do about those “immigrants” who under President Obama have been granted temporary Amnesty?

2) What is your stance on gay marriage and gays in the military?

"Impoverished" latinos "just looking for a (sob) better life in the US " are paying coyotes $20,000 to get across the border. Where are they getting this money?

Many are financed by those who are already here. They are harvesting US dollars like crops (government benefits and underground economy cash) and "remitting" the money to their connections south of the border. US taxpayers are being forced to help foot the bill for the nation's illegal invasion.

"MEXICO CITY – Mexicans living and working abroad sent home $11.85 billion in the first six months of the year, an increase of 6.2 percent from the same period in 2011, the country’s central bank said Wednesday.

....Remittances from expatriates are Mexico’s second-largest source of foreign exchange after oil exports and help cover living expenses for millions of households. Most of the money is sent from the United States, where an estimated 12 million Mexicans live, about half of them undocumented migrants."

“Obama’s order is as illegal as the aliens who have invaded this country.”

Yep, if he wasn’t black they would be impeaching him.

Actually those sound like good questions, unfortunately Romney doesnt want to answer them and will probably look terrible trying to.

If Romney was well ahead of Obama in polls especially in swing states, he would have leverage on who moderates the debates, but if Romney needs the debates to win then beggers cant be choosers.

A great moderator would be Brett Baur at FNC. He really does a good job.

...but like I say, if Romney needs the debates as McCain did, then he has little leverage.

Answers;

1) What will you do about those “immigrants” who under President Obama have been granted temporary Amnesty?

Answer: How does this help put Americans, who were BORN HERE, back to work in an economy that “Mr. Obama” and the Democrats ruined?

2) What is your stance on gay marriage and gays in the military?”

Answer: How does this issue help put Americans, back to work in an economy that “Mr. Obama” and the Democrats ruined? How does this bring back jobs to the country, the jobs that the Democrats allowed to be outsourced and sent overseas?

How is this issue relative to ANYTHING that helps puts the wheels back on the engine of the American economy?

There’s your answers, right there.

And make that stumblebum shoeshine boy telemprompter wh*re defend HIS economy, and HIS policies.

And if he insists on blaming Bush - “Mr. Obama - YOU’RE in charge, YOU and nobody else. It’s YOUR job to put policies on place to repair it, and you;ve had three years and half of that a complete rubber stamp Dem congress to help you, and you STILL managed to screw it up...”

More governors should follow Jan Brewer's lead.

Only a year ago Obama told an audience he could NOT do what he's just done because it would be illegal and not in keeping with his role as president.

A REAL candidate could answer : “ My position on marriage is the same as it was last year and the year before that. Marriage is a legal and religious relationship between a man and a woman. Unlike YOU I don't suddenly evolve my position 180 degrees on such issues as that just because it's election year and the poll winds blew a different direction. I actually have real morals not floating ones.” NUKE!

Unfortunately we don't have a real candidate, we have Romney. Heaven knows what he really believes. Maybe I better avoid the debates altogether.

About 14-15 states could break away from Obama’s America & form the Western States of Ameria.
Arizona
New Mexico
Texas
Oklahoma
Missouri
Kansas
Nebraska
S Dakota
N Dakota
Montana
Whoming
Idaho
Colorado
Utah
Nevada
& possibly Alaska

Let the Eastern Coast Elites try to feed & heat themselves without these states.

Yesterday Pat Robertson did a feature on amnesty. He repeated the old line—they are really fine people yadayadayada. Then he asks the co host “Don’t you love Hispanics?” This is what this is all about -do you love Hispanics. What happend to the brains of our political, media and religious leaders? They are so gullible an easy to manipulate. Focus on the Family had the apostle of the Dream Act Rev. Samuel Rodriguez on their radio show doing his usual Hispanic cheerleading, Richard Land has fallen into the tender trap of giving the Hispanics all they demand. Look up Rev. Samuel Rodriguez if you never heard of him. Watch out for this guy.
