Urgent: Obama Tells States They Can’t Block His Immigration Order
Independent Sentinal ^ | January 9, 2015 | Sara Noble

Urgent: Contact Your Governor

Obama claims his unconstitutional immigration order is unreviewable. He has also BANNED PUBLIC INPUT.

While we are watching the events in Paris, twenty-five states, that have sued to block Barack Obama’s executive order allowing millions of illegals to stay in the U.S., have been told by the federal government that it is above judicial review.

The Dictator is not only ignoring Congress, he is ignoring the courts and he is trampling states’ rights. His goal is to destroy the co-equal branches of government and the constitutional protections against a rogue president.

It is not hyperbole to call him a dictator. He is dictating.

On immigration, he has told the American people they can no longer decide who will enter the country – he is the one who will decide. He is taking away our rightful inheritance as Americans and he is destroying our system with his big government, globalist and multicultural ideology.

The states are trying to block the order and it is being played out in federal court in Brownsville, Texas.

The illegal immigrants will shortly be given work permits, some federal benefits including Social Security and Medicare.

Why are they eligible for these funds? By 2016, Social Security will be out of money.

The administration claims the policy is “challengeable by no plaintiff, reviewable by no court, and subject to no public input,” lawyers for the states said in an 88-page filing. The last U.S. president to take this stance was Harry Truman, and the Supreme Court blocked executive orders he issued during a steelworkers’ labor dispute in 1952, the states said.

“This court should respond likewise,” the states said. “Only the courts can prevent the executive’s self-aggrandizement.”

DHS is trying to get the case dismissed.

While the executive order gives amnesty to about 4 million, far more will get through based on the fact that Obama has sent out his dog whistle to government agencies to not properly screen applicants. The application form is a joke. There will be criminal background checks but only on crimes committed in the United States.

The states claim they have the legal right to challenge the executive order because they have to spend “hundreds of millions of dollars on health, education and law-enforcement programs” that will be strained by a new wave of immigrants encouraged to enter the U.S. illegally because of the new policy.

There will be a hearing on Jan. 15.

The case is Texas v. U.S., 1:14-254, U.S. District Court, Southern District of Texas (Brownsville).

Actually, the American people need to man up. The GOP doesn’t man up because all of us are freaking cowards walking like sheep to the slaughter.

We sit back and wait for some idiot jackassed politicians to save our skin.

What a damn joke.

And just think. Eventually they will also be given citizenship, we know that's where this leads.

So clean background, citizen, no convictions for illegal entry, tax evasion, identity fraud, working without permit prior to being amnestied...and they are part of a victim minority entitled to Affirmative Action. So, no reason not to have a government job...like being in the police.

No reason at all.

Meanwhile, Americans with parking tickets will be crossed off the list.

Great deal, huh? Being a foreign criminal in America means you got privileges.

Did you enter the United States illegally and stay illegally? That’s a crime.

0bama still thinks the US is one country not a union of individual states. He believes that the US is the same size of France or England.

"In case anyone was still wondering if America still has a viable constitution.................."

As mentioned in related threads, and with all due respect to mom & pop, as a consequence of parents not making sure that their children are being taught about the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers as the Founding States had intended for those powers to be understood, state “leaders” are probably clueless about arguing the following point against Obama’s constitutionally indefensible actions concerning immigration.

Simpy put, and PC interpretations of both the Constitution’s Uniform Rule of Naturalization (1.8.4) and the slavery clause (1.9.1) aside, the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate immigration, immigration uniquely a 10th Amendment-protected state power issue. So Obama actually has no constitutionally defensible federal immigration laws to pardon imo.

You can’t draw SS unless you’ve paid into the system. Of course, that’s the way it is for Americans. I don’t know about Mexicans.

There can be only one reason for this man’s actions. It is to destroy this nation. And there are so many people complicit. I’ll start with the Bushes.

What do you suggest? As I’ve said before, it won’t work with one man taking action. It will have to be millions taking action all at once. For that to happen a leader has to step forward and call for it.

This says social security will run out of money by 2016? Incorrect. Current estimate is outflows will exceed inflows in 2027. of course I doubt that includes the additional drag produced by illegals claiming SS

Perry came out with the 10th Amendment defense a few years back. Then he got indicted by a democrat DA in a blue part of Texas. As his last act as governor he should have called for secession.

Heck, I don’t know. Truth is you will not find a leader in Washington DC. Those people only pretend to be leaders in order to rip you off.
