President Barack Obama is enlisting activists and labor leaders in a push for comprehensive immigration legislation that will showcase Republican opposition and include a speech by the president.

The strategy was discussed during a meeting Monday by a range of prominent labor leaders and activist groups. Participants said Obama reiterated his support for immigration legislation but noted the political realities that have stalled it in Congress.

that will showcase Republican opposition

If the opposition is just "no", then they win. If the opposition is "hell no", then we win. The PUBs need to get off their ass.

It’s so incredibly obvious that Obama considers illegal immigration a benefit and not a problem.

As big as loser with popular opinion as universal health care was, AMNESTY is a bigger loser.

Amnesty will erode Democrat support among Dems and independents as much as any issue that I can think of.

Yes, buyer's remorse.

I suspect many of my Dem friends have already figured out that illegal aliens are REPLACEMENT VOTERS for Dems who now believe that Mister Obama's "change" is farther to the left then they ever thought.

Yep. Bring it on TOTUS.

This is a big time loser for the Dims. Americans want action on the border. None of this amnesty talk which is trying to be slipped by as “Comprehensive Immigration Reform”.

The public OVERWHELMINGLY supports Arizona’s position on getting tough on Illegals and this will only help in getting rid of more ‘rats in November.

Not so failed if you’re a Marxist. He;s there isn’t he ? Health Care passed , so will cap and trade. He’ll even give aliens the right to vote. The country has been taken over just as much as if an army did it and i don’t think people get it yet. You literally have the ENEMY running the country.
You haven’t seen anything yet .
OBAMA MUST BE STOPPED

With over 15 million unemployed & as many as 8 million jobs ‘gone forever’, this could be the spark for the chaos.

Get ready for trouble. It’s coming really fast.

Violence from Mexico has already spilled over into the U.S. Will American candidates for political office start getting assassinated?

We need to ask our Congressmen why illegals have two governments defending their interests. Illegals have the US government, the Mexican government (and other Third World gov'ts) using their power to defend, protect and advance illegals' interests.

So who is protecting the safety and security of US taxpaying citizens? We have yet to see the US government act to protect its citizens from these threats. Americans are being betrayed by a government that refuses to protect them.

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

US intelligence agencies are aware of, and have briefed the US govt, on this threat.
Oct 25, 2009 American Patrol Report:
Savage Zetas, descendants of the Aztecs, known for beheading and dismembering their enemies, are integrating their primitive savagery into the US.

In his groundbreaking book, Wakeup Call from Mexico, Wilson Beck describes how the dark side of Mexico stretches back to the days of the Aztecs when hundreds of thousands of people were sacrificed and eaten each year. He says today many young men in Mexico are enamored with the idea of being descendants of the Aztecs.

Now, according to the Houston Chronicle, the brutal savage Zetas, known for beheading and dismembering their enemies, are tightening their grip on an area bordering Southern Texas. In addtion to drug cartels running rampant on US soil.

Agents feared Mexican drug cartel attack on border dam
Houston Chronicle ^ | 06/03/10 | DANE SCHILLER and JAMES PINKERTON
FR Posted by AtlasStalled

An alleged plot by a Mexican drug cartel to blow up a dam along the Texas border — and unleash billions of gallons of water into a region with millions of civilians — sent American police, federal agents and disaster officials secretly scrambling last month to thwart such an attack, authorities confirmed Wednesday. Whether or not the cartel, which is known to have stolen bulk quantities of gunpowder and dynamite, could have taken down the 5-mile-long Falcon Dam may never be known since the attack never came to pass. It may have been derailed by a stepped-up presence by the Mexican military, which was acting in part on intelligence from the U.S. government, sources said.

The warning, which swung officials into action, was based on what the federal government contends were “serious and reliable sources” and prompted the Department of Homeland Security to sound the alarm to first responders along the South Texas-Mexico border. Mexico's Zeta cartel was planning to destroy the dam not to terrorize civilians, but to get back at its rival and former ally, the Gulf cartel, which controls smuggling routes from the reservoir to the Gulf of Mexico, said Zapata County Sheriff Sigifredo Gonzalez, head of the Southwest Border Sheriff's Coalition, as did others familiar with the alleged plot.

But in the process, massive amounts of agricultural land would stand to be flooded as well as significant parts of a region where about 4 million people live along both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border. (Excerpt) Read more at chron.com

The price of accommodating Mexico (unholy alliance with drug cartels)
WND | Tom Tancredo / FR Posted June 12, 2010 by AuntB

The Mexican government continues to oppose enhanced US border security while Mexican cartels smuggle thousands of criminals and terrorists into the United States. The Obama administration continues to tolerate this national-security nightmare out of fear of offending the Mexican government and its allies in the National Council of La Raza.

Mexico's opposition to border security is rooted in the flow of money back to Mexico from the 20-30 million Mexican citizens working in the United States...over $25 billion in 2007 (as much as $50 billion in later years) – has led the Mexican government into an unholy partnership with the drug cartels. Both want open borders, and paint the American concern for border security as racist and "anti-Mexican."

What most Americans do not understand is the drug cartels control both drug smuggling and human trafficking ; they work for the cartels, and the cartels set the prices and make the rules.

Also smuggled across the border by the same networks, individuals from Brazil, Egypt and Nigeria who pay $5,000 to $10,000 each. The terrorist organization Hezbollah is operating in Mexico and Latin America and is paying the drug cartels big bucks to get its agents into the United States. "High value" individuals from Pakistan, Yemen, Iran and Afghanistan pay from $20,000-$50,000 to Mexican cartels to get into the United States.

If 15,000 to 25,000 individuals from terrorist-friendly countries are coming across our borders successfully each year, that means that since Sept. 11, 2001, most likely over 200,000 such individuals from terrorist-friendly countries have crossed our southwest border and are now residing in our communities.

Last year, 200 agents were moved from the Tucson Sector to the Canadian border, and Obama is planning to reduce total manpower in the Border Patrol by 2,000 in the coming year. (Excerpt) Read more at wnd.com .........

Man ordered to repay $3M in Calif employment fraud
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | June 26, 2010
FR Posted by artichokegrower

A former Marysville resident has been sentenced to prison and ordered to pay back $3 million in fraudulently obtained unemployment compensation. U.S. Attorney Benjamin B. Wagner says 31-year-old Manuel Mejia Ordonez was sentenced Friday to eight years and one month in prison for conspiracy to commit mail fraud and identity theft. (Excerpt) Read more at sfgate.com ...

QUESTION How does a citizen of Mexico make $3 million in unemployment claims?

ANSWER By establishing multiple identities.

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

Illegal Jose Madrigal, the Washington state rapist, had some 30 identities.

EACH FAKE IDENTITY COLLECTS US GOVT FREEEBIES,
--- AND AS EVERY DESPERATE DEMOCRAT KNOWS ---
EACH FAKE IDENTITY VOTES AND VOTES AND VOTES

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

The Obama admin continues to tolerate this ntl-security nightmare of illegals using multiple identities for fear of offending the Mexican government, the National Council of La Raza, and other immigrant advocates....all of whom are providing Democrat voters to endangered Dems. This outrage is burdening taxpayers and polluting our election system----b/c these criminals adopt multiple fraudulent identities.

Evidence shows illegals establish several identities with phony SS nos and fake documents (which these "poor immigrants" buy from document brokers for several thousand dollars). Illegals also get their anchor babies SS nos. They then use the SS nos to establish fake identities.

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

RIDING THE US GRAVY TRAIN---THE SAGA OF PEDRO An illegal alien w/ wife and five children violates our borders. He gets a job mowing loans for $5.00 or 6.00/hour. At that low wage, with six dependents, he pays no income tax, so each year, he files an Income Tax Return to get "EITC---earned income credit" of up to $3,200 scot-free.

He qualifies for Section 8 housing and subsidized rent. He qualifies for food stamps and no deductible, no co-pay free health care. His children get free school breakfasts and lunches. The kids qualify for monthly SSI checks by faking ADD; the illegal and his wife get SSI by faking being aged, blind or disabled; SSI qualifies them for Medicare.

Plus illegals don't have to worry about pricey items like car insurance, life insurance, or homeowners insurance, and they qualify for relief from high energy bills.

ALL OF THAT IS COLLECTED WITH JUST ONE IDENTITY

DON'T HAVE TO WAIT FOR OBAMACARE It is presently against the law to refuse healthcare to illegals. Illegal aliens actually bump US citizens for healthcare. Mexico, the country that is the staging area for illegal invasions, has long-promoted America’s generous public health centers.

Mexico operates Ventanillas de Salud---a Spanish-language program---in about 12 US cities that refers its nationals on US soil illegally---to clinics where they can get free medical care without being turned over to immigration authorities.”

Given that the unemployment rate is 10%, and Mexican drug cartels are placing hits on American policemen (on American soil), and that there is a WAR on the US/Mexican border......this will surely blow up in Hussien’s and the jackass party’s faces.

The American people aint gonna buy this CR@P

Actually, our government is not just “condoning” amnesty, but promoting it, because there’s no legitimate way for the left to win an election, and they know it.

That’s why this is probably one of the most important “wars” we have to fight for the sake of our remaining liberties.

There is not a political rally that they miss, and they cheer loudly for the Obama oligarchy.
