With already dismal approval ratings, this has been the most difficult month for President Barack Obama yet. After voters from coast to coast soundly rejected Obama-supporting Democrats on Election Day, video was leaked of left-wing economist Jonathan Gruber - the chief architect of Obamacare - admitting that the sweeping health care bill became law because Americans are "stupid."
As if that wasn't embarrassing enough, a source leaked to Fox News copies of Obama's unconstitutional 10-point plan to grant amnesty to 4.5 million illegal immigrants through executive order, which is supposed to be announced this week. After reading just what he has in mind, it's clear Gruber isn't the only one who thinks we're stupid.
In the plan, Obama is prepared use executive orders to stop the deportation of illegals through what's known as "deferred action." This plan would prevent illegal immigrants who came to America as children - along with their children born in America - from ever facing deportation. In addition, Obama is expected to end the Secure Communities program, which helps facilities information sharing between federal immigration agents and local police when trying to identify illegal immigrants.
Most Americans don't approve of Obama's immigration policies and his" the President-is-King" approach. They, particularly middle class voters, are deeply concern about the impact of his policies on jobs and stagnant wages.
Now, it appears that conservative Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives have a unique opportunity to stop Obama's amnesty agenda dead in it's tracks. Because Congress is going to need the passage of a short-term spending bill soon to fund government through the next fiscal year, an embolden Republican majority is ready use Congress' power of the purse to defund Obama's amnesty orders, including any renewal funding for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).
This movement in the House is lead by conservative Rep. Matt Salmon (R-AZ), who now has 63-signatures on his letter which would block all funding for Obama's executive amnesty orders. The letter was forwarded to House Appropriations Committee Chairman Harold Rogers (R-KY) and ranking member Nita Lowey (D-NY), which requests that such anti-funding language be included in "all appropriations legislation prohibiting the use of funds by the administration for the implementation of current or future executive actions that would create additional work permits and green cards outside the scope prescribed by Congress."
Salmon, who said this effort is gaining an astonishingly large amount of traction thanks to the 2014 election results, is confident House conservatives can be successful. As he explained in a recent interview, this defunding effort "will stop him dead in his tracks if our conference decides to put on the spending bill that the president has to have by the end of the year that no money in that spending bill can go for these purposes, for this executive amnesty. If he does that, he's in direct violation of the law."
Unfortunately, Obama doesn't seem to understand just how bad the elections were for his radical agenda. Instead of waiting for the new Congress to start and making his arguments, he is gearing up to impose his pro-amnesty agenda on the American people in ways that would shock our Founding Fathers. With only two years left in his term, he is ready to appease his left-wing base and politically tear the country apart, while forcing local communities to deal with the extreme costs and safety risks of illegal immigration.
It is time to urge the Republican leadership to understand just why 74 percent of Americans want Obama to work with Congress on immigration instead of going around them. Republicans must stop Obama's lawless amnesty agenda now.
I had no idea FRC was against Amnesty - Praise the Lord !!!
Can?
The EXEMPT have no will or interest
beyond their own systematic self-serving
THEFT of “Equality under the Law”.
“Defunding” amnesty is a joke, a fig leaf for “conservtive” R’s to hide behind while not actually fighting this tyranny.
Obama would spread his Progressive Poison on Americans in ways that would shock our Founders...to force local communities to deal with the onerous costs of freeloading illegals, not to mention the contagion inflicted on American children.
In SE Asia, Obama was asked about legal authority of his proposed actions (which the US-DOJ provided). Obama said "NO" when asked to share the info.
============================================
ANALYSIS---Obama's very disturbed---maybe deranged. We are all in danger every minute this seething mass of hatred holds onto power. He was decisively trounced and rejected at midterms. Now he's paranoid----frantic to do something---anything--- to feed his monumental ego.
Keep in mind, this is all about the eternal quest of the self-hating liberal---to "feel good" about oneself.
=================================================
Congress better understand that the very future of our republic is at stake here---Obama's amnesty is intended to precipitate the overthrow of the US govt.
================================================
FREEPER IOWA CORNMAN POSTED: start raising hell with Congress---we want no funding of any of this .We need injunctive relief immediately in the federal courts to enjoin any federal agency from implementing this unconstitutional madness.

Call or write your legislator ASAP.
Can? More like "Won't" and we're kidding ourselves otherwise.
The GOPe is simply the moderate wing of the Uniparty.
Yeah? And then what? Exactly what? The POS is ALREADY in violation of the law. What do we hear from Congress? Crickets.
No, this won’t work.
If the government runs out of money at the end of 2014, Congress must pass an appropriations bill by the end of 2014. Let’s say the house passes the appropriations bill with this language. The senate won’t pass it because the democrats will still control the senate until the new guys are sworn in in January. How’d that last government shutdown work for Republicans?
Shut the SOB down if need be and stop his agenda.
“As if that wasn’t embarrassing enough, a source leaked to Fox News copies of Obama’s unconstitutional 10-point plan to grant amnesty to 4.5 million illegal immigrants through executive order,”
“As if that wasn’t embarrassing enough, a source leaked to Fox News copies of Obama’s unconstitutional 10-point plan to grant amnesty to 14.5 million illegal immigrants through executive order,”
Fixed it.
Exactly! Hairy Reed will strip out that language and send it back to the house.
All they could do now is pass a short term CR that lasts only until the new congress is sworn in.
How is this “difficult for F B O since he doesn’t give a rat’s a$$. We are the suffering.
Sadly, the king of whimper is the Speaker of the House of Representatives. He has a spine, but it only works about ten minutes per month.
As if that wasn’t embarrassing enough, a source leaked to Fox News copies of Obama’s unconstitutional 10-point plan to grant amnesty to 14.5 million illegal immigrants through executive order...
Fixed it.
As if that wasn’t embarrassing enough, a source leaked to Fox News copies of Obama’s unconstitutional 10-point plan to grant amnesty to 44.5 million illegal immigrants through executive order...
Might just as well be honest with ourselves.
If this number isn't accurate today, it's because tens of millions have already been naturalized.
Correct.
Sadly...
“All they could do now is pass a short term CR that lasts only until the new congress is sworn in.”
Byron York has outlined a GOP plan for tackling Obama’s expected declaration of temporary amnesty for certain illegal immigrants: “The only thing Republicans will do in the lame duck session…is to make sure a short-term government funding bill is passed by the time the current one expires on Dec. 11. Then in January, with the GOP in control…Republicans will work on crafting a new spending measure that funds the entire government, with the exception of the particular federal offices that will do the specific work of enforcing Obama’s order… At that point, a shutdown battle could occur — but it would be a battle over shutting down the small part of the federal government tasked with enforcing the immigration order.”
The problem is that Reid and Obama can see this coming. Why would Why would Harry Reid pass a short term CR?
Why would Obama sign a short term CR when he know the GOP will send him a long term bill with the amnesty language in it?
The answer is they won’t unless they’re looking for an excuse not to do the amnesty thing. If they are wanting to do amnesty, then they’ll block it and force a government shutdown.
They gained seats in the House and regained control of the Senate, not bad huh.
“They gained seats in the House and regained control of the Senate, not bad huh.”
History lesson. The GOP gained seats and control of the senate earlier this month. The last time the GOP shut down the government, their popularity plunged. If the election would have happened then, the GOP would have been handed their heads. Poll after poll proves the public does not want a shutdown.
Surprised you would not know this.....
