Inhofe also signed on to a bill by Texas Sen. Ted Cruz that would effectively end Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, the Obama administration’s policy of giving low priority to deportation of undocumented immigrants who arrived in the U.S. as children and have been in the country since at least 2007 and do not have a criminal record.

DACA - The Achilles Heel in this matter.

No Border Money Unless Obama Disavows Expanding DACA, Senator [Jeff Sessions] Says

Dear Colleagues:

I write to inform you of a development that threatens the foundation of our constitutional Republic. On July 3, 2014, the National Journal reported:

“Obama made it clear he would press his executive powers to the limit. He gave quiet credence to recommendations from La Raza and other immigration groups that between 5 million to 6 million adult illegal immigrants could be spared deportation under a similar form of deferred adjudication he ordered for the so-called Dreamers in June 2012…

Obama has now ordered the Homeland Security and Justice departments to find executive authorities that could enlarge that non-prosecutorial umbrella by a factor of 10. Senior officials also tell me Obama wants to see what he can do with executive power to provide temporary legal status to undocumented adults.”

This is breathtaking.

The action the President is reportedly contemplating would be a nullification of the Immigration and Nationality Act by the Executive Branch of government. Indeed, it would be an executive nullification of our borders as an enforceable national boundary. By declaring whole classes of illegal immigrants beyond the reach of the law, it would remove the moral authority needed to enforce any immigration law, creating the very open-borders policy explicitly rejected by Congress and the people. And it would guarantee that the current illegal immigration disaster would only further worsen and destabilize.

As you know, over the last five and a half years, the President has routinely bypassed Congress in order to suspend enforcement of our immigration laws. The most dramatic of these lawless directives was the President’s 2012 Deferred Action Program for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), in which the President implemented by executive fiat legislation that Congress has three times rejected.

Not surprisingly, the illegal DACA program has led to catastrophic results. By declaring to the entire world that America will not enforce its immigration laws against those who enter the country as minors—indeed, that the United States will freely grant them access to work permits and taxpayer resources—President Obama unleashed a flood of new illegal immigration into the country. This is the disaster he created.

However, there is clear path forward to prevent the continued dissolution of America’s borders. Certainly, DACA and the President’s other numerous unlawful policies must be terminated. But as a first step, Congress must not acquiesce to spending more taxpayer dollars until the President unequivocally rescinds his threat of more illegal executive action.

Congress must demand that the President use his lawful powers to begin enforcing the law now—instead of passing legislation on the promise of future enforcement—and that he back down from his plan to widen his disastrous DACA program, which would of course escalate the existing border disaster to unthinkable proportions.

If Congress simply passes a supplemental spending bill without these preconditions, it is not a question of if the President will suspend more immigration laws, but only how many he will suspend.

Congress cannot surrender to this lawlessness. Acting in defense of Congress, our constituents, and their communities, we must stand firm. This transcends politics. It is about our duty as constitutional officeholders. It is about the solemn oath we all took as Members of Congress.

Very truly yours,

Jeff Sessions

U.S. Senator

It’s the truth. Everybody knows it. There is no way that these countries would have dumped their unwanteds onto our shores in such high numbers and so continuously had there not been some kind of prior agreement.

Sen. Marco Rubio wants to 'wind down' program for immigrant youth

".......Rubio's comments, condemned by reform activists as a betrayal of those he once sought to help, reflect the rapidly rising heat around immigration and the politics within the Republican Party as he eyes a run for president in 2016. Some of the staunchest conservatives, most vocally Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, have called for an end to Obama's program.

On the Senate floor Thursday afternoon, Cruz ripped into the president, saying he "unilaterally granted amnesty." Cruz is a potential rival to Rubio for the 2016 GOP nomination, and he voted against the comprehensive reform bill Rubio helped write and pass in the Senate last year.

Frustrated by stalled attempts at immigration reform in Congress, Obama has talked of taking more executive action. More than 640,000 people have gotten two-year reprieves, which are renewable, under deferred action through March of this year. Among them: 27,000 Floridians.........."

20 to 30 years from now, I can see this: These thousands of teenage illegals from Central America will be going around bragging to people with a statement like this:

"We thousands of illegal immigrant children from Central America changed the United States forever beginning in 2014, and we didn't fire a single shot."

Vote-crazed Democrat Nancy Pelosi whines: “Every child, every person, has a spark of divinity in them and is therefore worthy of respect….... we are all God’s children.”

Nancy conveniently excludes American children. Democrats think it's okay to steal from them, expose them to exotic deadly diseases, dismember them during birth, brainwash them into being willing sheep led to the slaughter, adopt them out to homosexual pedophiles, deny them medical care, or whatever abuses Democrats have yet to dream up.

Self-righteous Democrats label us "meanies" b/c we want to protect our children----we don't want to bankrupt our children's futures----we don't want to expend all of America's resources to the tenth generation to subsidize illegal "children".

Besides, we were here first. We did not invite illegals to the party.......they came here with no other aspirations than to leech off of US taxpayers and advance the armed takeover of the SW.

Vote-crazed Obama bas been reduced to being a Third World flunky setting the US up big time...he's colluding and conspiring w/ the Third World. Money is changing hands sub rosa....foreign aid, extortion, kickbacks, money-laundering are in the mix.

==================================================

Aided and abetted by Boobamba, the Third World is relying on an old formula---going back to Greco/Roman times: a powerful, thriving bountiful country being overrun by savages, barbarians and thieves lusting after the country's power and riches.

Central America is salivating for power and riches ---they have no other aspirations than to confiscate our tax dollars to facilitate their armed conflict to takeback the SW and ultimatley America, itself.

THIS WE KNOW the barbarians know that our govt responds to pressure groups---so they are emptying out their villages---driving the savages across the border.

The immigration reform leeches are being coached by the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, La Raza, and other violent latino groups advocating the overthrow of the US government

THE GOOD NEWS The latino vote has no impact whatsoever---it's a nothng 10% and will remain so in the foreseeable future. Democrats barely mention immigration reform on the campaign trail despite making the issue their top domestic priority in 2013 and 2014.

The news gets worse for power-mad latinos. Cong Luis Guttierez went ballistic on broadcast news---he knows the power he desperately wants is slipping from his greedy paws.

====================================================

The Greeks and Romans didnt have the internet, social media, instagram, etc.... nor were they confronted w/ L/E power.

DO THIS NOW----CONTACT FBI TIPS PAGE---https://tips.fbi.gov

<><> Taxpayers demand the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, La Raza, and other tax-funded latino groups, be investigated--- supboena official filings, phone records, emails, snail mail copies, hard drives, bank accounts, checking accounts, credit cards, debit cards, wire transfers, social media contacts, and the like.

<><> TAXPAYERS demand to know who they're communicating with, and who is directing their activities.

<><> Taxpayers demand to know which members of these tax-funded groups belong to violent latino organizations advocating the overthrow of the US govt.

===============================================

Obama's colluding and conspiring w/ the Third World to facilitate the overthrow:
<><>sending them our tax dollars and resources to help violate our borders,
<><>chartering buses and planes to dump them on unsuspecting towns,
<><> planning WH meetings on how to get more new Democrat voters across the border,
<><> registering the multiple identities w/ the DNC,
<><> handing out apps for riding the US gravy train in exchange for votes.

================================================

OBAMA MOUTHPIECE---LA RAZA ECHO--- America's Voice web site has this to say: GOP Beware: If You Don’t Enact a Permanent Immigration Solution, the President Will Have to Step in to Provide a Temporary One. The site is a great place to do opposition research - if your blood pressure can stand it.

BTW, America's Voice (americasvoice.org), a Soros front group whose stated mission is: We work in partnership with progressive, faith-based, labor, civil rights, and grassroots groups, networks and leaders to enact federal legislation that puts 11 million Americans-in-waiting on the road to full citizenship.

America's Voice even compiled a list of Republicans who have publicly voiced support for this invasion: The details of each instance can be found here (LINK): Getting to A Majority: More House Republicans Come Out for Citizenship.
