Bill O'Reilly.com ^ | 6/15/2012 | Bill O'Reilly

O'Reilly: "... How can you blame kids when they're dragged to the USA from wherever? If you're a fair person you can't. It's not the childs fault immigration laws are broken, it's the parents who did it; thus the new policy is humane..."

There were only something like 69 thousand new jobs created last month (because of obama’s job killing administration policies.) And we have millions of Americans out of work and that idit just gave close to a million illegals the right to stay here and work. So now those millions of Americans who are out of work will have about a million more people going for those 69 thousand jobs!

O’reilly think of that? Or did he think all those Americans should just do without so illegals can have the jobs. I hope Romney thinks humanity starts at home first. Taking care of our own workers first and fore most is what I would think is a Presidents job. That and following the rule of law.

I spent many years as a recruiter and it was never legal to enlist non citizens into the military unless they had a green card (legal immigrant). During the draft they drafted many foriegn students who were in the US legally. So the only way one of these illegal children could enlist in the military was illegally.

Good comment All of the illegals should be deported. They have a sociopathic sense of entitlement. We are not the dumping ground for Mexico's surplus population and undesirables. It is inhumane to expect us to cater to those criminals and sacrifice the future of our country.

Rep. Steve King (R., Iowa) is considering filing a lawsuit to block Obama's plan.

What scares me is that everything illegal now, will become legal on grounds of being “Humane”. Let's see:
1. The homeowner behind on their mortgage due to working so many jobs. It would be “humane” to give his family a break and reduce the payments to what he can afford.
2. The people that think some drugs should be legal since the poor person that has to worry about being arrested. It would be “humane” to make marijuana and other drugs legal.

This is just crazy. The laws are on the books and if enough people think they should be changed, then re-write them. I think making changes by executive order is becoming more the norm for Obama and I hope that Rep. King succeeds in his lawsuit against this new policy.

Obama just granted Amnesty to illegals and it bypassed Congress to do it. Obama just passed the Dream act Amnesty by decree. What Obama did is illegal,tyranny and a dictatorial act. Republicans in Congress defeated the Dream act. we worked so hard to defeat it . I am crushed. Now every third world moron who is under 30 will come to the U.S.A, .say hello to 2 billion third world invaders invited in by Obama. It is an invasion and the traitor Obama broke the law to aid this invasion of illegals.Impeach the dictator marxist villain. the media is covering up for it..

I don’t know exactly what I’d do, but I think I’d give them some kind of preferential place in line to complete legal immigration themselves with no guilty illegal ever being able to go above worker status.

That is all well and good, but the problem here is not that these kids don't deserve to be treated better than their parents or better than people who were criminally liable for being illegal aliens, the problem is that Obama did this on his own.

The LAW provides that these people are to be deported when found. There is no LAW that gives them special treatment. Bush tried to push through legislation that would have done pretty much what Obama did, but when Bush couldn't get the legislation passed, he didn't give an EXECUTIVE ORDER effectively passing the legislation by the stroke of a pen.

Obama should be impeached for what he just did. His job as the EXECUTIVE is to EXECUTe the laws, not make them up as he goes along. Obama thinks he is a dictator, and most of the MSM and the Democrat party and a lot of RINOS like Rubio and Romney are cheering him on.

Absolutely. I agree with that PM.

I was addressing the kids, not Obama.

The odd thing about this is that Obama’s announcement is exactly what has been taking place, apparently, for some time. He simply verbalized it, so it could only have been for Hispanic voter reasons.

Forgive me for conjecturing, but I guessing that GW was lax on enforcing, too. And we know Perry was. Gingrich said he would be, and for that Romney attacked both Perry and Gingrich. Yesterday, however, the cat got Mitt’s tongue, and he could only mumble something indecipherable. And this from the man who excoriated Perry and Gingrich for their leniency. (Shocker: Romney moves left.)

In any case, the only reason Obama can do this is because the nation no longer cares about the constitution. Divided government wouldn’t matter, if congressmen knew their job was to strongly challenge any executive who decided not to enforce the law or to make up his own law.

They would unite and do a smashmouth on the culprit via fiances first and impeachment second. They would get his attention.

We have wimps in Congress. If they’re not banging their girlfriend, they’re banging their boyfriend.

O'Reilly might as well be a marxist Democrat, for all he's worth.

O'Reilly voted for Obama in 2008 and no doubt he will again.

We are talking probably TENS OF MILLIONS, here not 800,000 or a million.

I read on a Polish langugage website today that up to 30,000 Poles will qualify. If it is 30,000 Poles eligible it has to be MILLIONS of hispanics. This is defacto amnesty.

Bill O’reilly is a leftist. He loves 0bama, love Lady Gaga and is a true liberal at heart.

It is all showbiz for BOR. He plays a "conservative" role on TV to get paid.

We are a Nation of Laws, not Men. There is nothing compassionate about stealing from people to give to those you empathize with.

Humane treatment? Is Assad running things here?

You would think these people were being tortured living here and reaping the Benefits. I guess Crime does pay. Who is paying for their Education? Are they getting Scholarships that should be given to American Citizens, thereby treating those same American Citizens inhumanely?

If Ted Baxter is so compassionate, he can invite the Million Lawbreakers to his House and give them jobs.

Better yet, he can move to Mexico and bring his Million new friends with him.

All these idiots miss the point. It is of little matter whether it is a humane act or sheer stupidity(my opinion). The fact is, it is an unconstitutional act by a sitting president and he should be impeached. Very few people seem to want to discuss that simple fact.

O’Reilly is a statist blowhard. I accidentally caught a few minutes of his show the other day (wasn’t paying attention and forgot to change the channel). He was arguing in favor of adopting the same kind of government internet spying on citizens that they have adopted in UK, even though both the conservative and liberal commentators were in complete agreement that it was ridiculous. His rational? We need to give the government more power so they can stop child pornography, because with just a little more power they could completely stamp it out. Didn’t even enter his mind that it would be ineffective or that it would inevitably be abused. The man just can’t think straight.

Well, it was quite annoying to me to see their take on Obama’s new immigration fiasco.

What I think is O'Reilly is not a very deep or thinker or principled man despite his claims to the contrary. If he'd thought through this issue and followed its logical , probable outcome and drew upon our rule of law to support his position he'd arrive elsewhere. His statement is more emotive than based on reason.

His immense success baffles me. I can only attribute it to his charisma or force of personality and not too much else. Oh, there was a time not too long ago that non-liberals had no voice in the media, and he was among the first- and loudest. So there's that also.
