Most Hispanic immigrants don’t want the illegals rewarded either.

Wasn’t the government shutdown going to give the House back to the Democrats because no one would ever vote Republican again? I’m not concerned.

And amnesty ensures democrat rule for generations and most likely would transform America into a third-world country (Obama’s ultimate goal).

Amnesty pimps be damned!!

The article and author do nothing to disprove the claims of unskilled workers and illiterate voters. Nice job of deflection, but still dishonest. What is important to the author and to the democrat party is that these new voters come from countries where there is either no Constitution or there is no knowledge of and appreciation for a Constitution. This is the nature of their voting illiteracy, which the democrat party will exploit with gifts and trinkets, but with little human regard.

They’re too deeply divided to come up with a bill that Democrats could support,

The House came up with several bills that Reid refused to let go to the Senate floor for a vote.

Nope. The onus is on the liberal amnesty types.

The House did their job. It's not up to them to create a bill that the Dems like.

That must be why Obola waited until *after* an election in which the Rats knew they’d be completely skunked.They knew that amnesty was wildly popular with the American people so the best strategy was to hold it in reserve.

On November 20, 2014--a day that will live in infamy--President Obama deliberately declared war on the American worker. His tyrannical actions to legalize the status of millions of lawbreakers and issue them work permits and SSNs violate the Constitution and the Rule of Law, the very foundation of the Republic. Obama’s address to the nation was a shameless, transparent attempt to defend the indefensible by wrapping himself in the American flag, invoking scripture, misrepresenting the facts, and blatantly lying.

There was one glaring, remarkable omission in his address that demonstrated more than anything else Obama’s duplicity and deception. Obama never mentioned that the government would be issuing work permits to the estimated five million lawbreakers enabling them to compete for jobs legally with American workers. Moreover, this action undermines his “prosecutorial discretion” defense because he is imbuing the lawbreakers with affirmative new rights, i.e., the ability to work here in contravention of existing laws that prohibit illegal aliens from working or employers from hiring them. This new legal status comes with tangible new benefits for those who broke our laws, including access to Social Security and Medicare.

Obama tried to minimize the impact of his lawlessness on Americans by stating, “I know that some worry immigration will change the very fabric of who we are, or take our jobs, or stick it to middle-class families at a time when they already feel like they've gotten the raw end of the deal for over a decade. I hear these concerns. But that's not what these steps would do.” In fact, this is exactly what legalization of five million lawbreakers and a virtual suspension of the enforcement of our immigration laws in the interior of our country will do.

This affects not only the five million lawbreakers who will be legalized, but also, the 7 million or more others who are here illegally. And make no mistake about it; millions more will try to come here to take advantage of this amnesty regardless of what parameters are set on eligibility. The “undocumented” have always found a way to get the documents they need to circumvent our laws.

The infusion of five million more legal foreign workers into the workforce at a time when the labor participation rate in the US is at the lowest point since 1977 makes no sense at all. Moreover, those receiving the amnesty are overwhelmingly unskilled and uneducated, .e.g., 51% of the illegal aliens who are heads of household lack even a high school diploma. Do we really need millions more high school dropouts who will receive more in benefits than they contribute in taxes. Our SS system has been in the red since 2010. Adding more low income people to the system will hasten its bankruptcy along with Medicare.

The Reps should make the Dems own amnesty and the impact it will have on American workers and our social welfare system.

“There is a fundamental difference between the two parties’ approaches to immigration reform: The president and most Democrats see it as a question of keeping together families who’ve been here at least five years. To Republicans, it is primarily a security issue of rounding up the “illegals” and sending them back while more heavily fortifying the borders to make sure they and others can’t return.”

Horsecrap. To Republicans it is a matter of crapping all over the law in so many ways and the precedent that sets for raging lawlessness on the part of the government. And it’s an illustration of outrage over a Machiavellian Democrat strategy of displacing their Black base to permanent underclass status because the Dems know they cannot offend their Black base below 80% Dem vote no matter what they do.

Never mind the introduction of previously unknown diseases which have already killed about a dozen children and paralyzed perhaps 100 more; the day a few unscreened ISIS guys spray a shopping center with AK-47s Mumbai-style, this argument will turn itself inside out with stunning rapidity. It’s gotta be great to think that “security concerns” over unchecked immigration are so easily dismissed.

This entire “administration” has been a series of Reischstag Fires.

Am I the only guy who believes this current turmoil has been orchestrated to serve as YET ANOTHER diversion to the DOZENS of ongoing Obama scandals, the recent immigration mess and the building crisis in the Middle East. Obama is well on the way to marginalizing the white population here with millions of new minority citizens who will soon become the new majority (and predominately welfare “beneficiaries” and DEMOCRAT VOTERS).
Jefferson – and other founders – greatly feared what that would do to America!

Estimate is that the “benefits” Obama will provide for them will cost YOU and your fellow tax slaves over 2 BILLION bucks per year. Better plan to file and pay early!

These over-the-top Republican responses — and talk of impeachment, censure and lawsuits targeting Obama — can only help Democrats by telling the fastest growing segment of the population “we don’t want you here.”

I don't want them here - not this way.

I got as far as the word “extremists” in the first sentence of this left-wing screed, and stopped reading right then and there.

If the legal immigrants wanted to live in a third world country they wouldn’t have came here in the first place.
