Vulnerable Dems balk at Obama actions

Democratic senators facing tough reelections want to put the brakes on President Obama’s plan to reform the nation’s immigration enforcement system through executive action.

Two of the Senate’s most vulnerable incumbents, Sens. Mark Pryor (D-Ark.) and Kay Hagan (D-N.C.), say Obama should not act unilaterally to reduce deportations, arguing it’s Congress’s job to change the law.

[lurk]

There are no dissenters from the collective party agenda in the Dem party. There are only pretend dissenters until November.

[RIghtwardHo]

Ah the standard Election Year Two Step.

[capydick]

They have served their purpose and are no longer needed - they are fooling themselves if they think Obama gives a wit about their reelection.

[Obadiah]

They are trying to proactively lay down political cover for when the lawless Obama acts unconstitutionally. No matter. If Obama unilaterally acts on immigration then these Democrats must be lashed to Obama’s actions without mercy. Either it's their Party and that's what their Party stands for and does, or else they are completely ineffectual as a leader that Obama himself doesn't even pay mind to them. Either way, they must pay for any action Obama may take in this regard.

If Caliph Baraq doesn’t care about re-electing Dem senators, he’s sure spending a lot of time fundraising for them when he could be playing golf.

Bre’r Barry, do whatever you want but don’t throw us in that briar patch! Dem rabbit critters

[Obadiah]

And further, if Obama does act and Harry Reid comes out in support of Obama, then Landrieu, et.al., must be asked, “If re-elected to the Senate will you support Harry Reid as Majority Leader in the next Congress?

They must be made to pay for whatever Obama has up his sleeve.

[Mariner]

This is pretty good evidence that Obama is either bluffing...or disconnected from a large swath of his own party.

Probably the latter.

Nevertheless, Senator Reid might be calling the WH soon.

[Mr. K]

They ONLY care because of how it affects their electability- NOTHING ELSE matters to them...

[lee martell]

Poor Obama, even the Rats are pushing away his brand of poison pill solutions. Keep on pushing then, Der Leader just might get the message.

Dummycrats balk at Obam's immigration plans?

I keep wondering how these Dummocrats managed to unglue their lips from Obama's behind (/snix).

REFERENCE Violent transnational gangs 'recruiting unaccompanied minors at Border Security facilities'
Daily Mail UK ^ | July 27, 2014 | Daily Mail / FR Posted by COUNTrecount

Members of some of the United States' most notorious street gangs have infiltrated shelters housing illegal immigrant minors from Central America and are recruiting them, say Homeland Security sources. An estimated 57,000 minors from Central America have flooded across the border from Mexico to the U.S. in recent months, and gang leaders are reportedly filling their ranks from among them.

Transnational gangs such as the Mara Salvatruca, also known as MS-13, and the 18th Street gang are using established juvenile members from Central America to cross the border and recruit other children to the cartels, say sources. Recruiting drive:

There are reports that gangs are trying to recruit young immigrants from Border Protection facilities where they're being held According to Fox News, Border Control agents have witnessed gang members using a Red Cross phone bank at the facility at Nogales, Arizona, to 'recruit, enlist and pressure' other minors into crossing the border. Shawn Moran, vice president of the National Border Control Patrol Council, a union which represents border agents, says agents have witnessed the recruiting process.

The Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement said earlier this week that they have no knowledge or evidence that gangs are recruiting immigrant minors. (Excerpt) Read more at dailymail.co.uk ...
