Obama plans immigration push after fiscal crisis ends
Yahoo/Reuters ^ | 10/16/2013 | Mark Felsenthal

President Barack Obama said on Tuesday that stalled immigration reform would be a top priority once the fiscal crisis has been resolved.

"Once that's done, you know, the day after, I'm going to be pushing to say, call a vote on immigration reform," he told the Los Angeles affiliate of Spanish-language television network Univision.

The president's domestic agenda has been sidetracked in his second term by one problem after another. As he coped with the revelation of domestic surveillance programs, chemical weapons in Syria, and a fiscal battle that has shut down the U.S. government and threatens a debt default, immigration has been relegated to the back burner...

Of course he will. Barry has ignored laws, violated them. Illegal Immigrants violate the Law and sovereignty of this Country. I say now, why should any of us obey a law and pay taxes? The Equal Protection Clause means nothing to them.

*He won’t though, and apparently he received a standing ovation in the basement today. How can Republicans applaud this? NOT A SINGLE OUTLET is saying this is anything other than a humiliating defeat.

Choke on it, GOP*

The day after the 2012 election my wife and I planned a vacation to a secluded cabin in the woods to get away from talk about the election in case the results turned out to be nasty. They were. At night we decided to turn on the TV and find out what the Republicans were saying.

The GOP had a program and the bigshot RINO leaders were calling Conservatives “exotics”. No one disagreed with the close-minded Democrat wannabe.
That was the biggest clue that the mainstream GOP hates people that love America.

*This immigration bill will truly be checkmate. *

Wait until they push to let all people of the world in and there are 7 billion clamoring to get in.

We will, of course, pay their airfare and moving expenses.

What’s to say that the Dems don’t try to wrap amnesty (and other nasties such as Cap and tax, end of sequester, union carve outs in Obamacare, card check, higher taxes, ect) to the next debt deal? I would not be surprised if they try this tactic and take us to the brink again in February.

There should have been a SERIOUS movement to oust Boehner years ago. He is a useless POS who says just enough to calm conservatives until right before the final vote where 0bama gets everything he wants. He is an AGENT OF OBAMA.

Fooled us AGAIN for a few minutes.. F U BONER!

Rand Paul’s immigration speech

...The Republican Party must embrace more legal immigration.

Unfortunately, like many of the major debates in Washington, immigration has become a stalemate-where both sides are imprisoned by their own rhetoric or attachment to sacred cows that prevent the possibility of a balanced solution.

Immigration Reform will not occur until Conservative Republicans, like myself, become part of the solution. I am here today to begin that conversation.

Let’s start that conversation by acknowledging we aren’t going to deport 12 million illegal immigrants.

If you wish to work, if you wish to live and work in America, then we will find a place for you...

This is where prudence, compassion and thrift all point us toward the same goal: bringing these workers out of the shadows and into being taxpaying members of society.

Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers.12 million more people assimilating into society. 12 million more people being productive contributors.

[but he’s not in favor of amnesty, snicker, definition of is is]

Obama’s trying to grasp for an issue quick before Obamacare takes center stage again.

I see you truly love to spread your doom and gloom.

Why? What does that accomplish?

You can roll over and succumb, I won’t

Free? You mean Sponsored, courtesy of you and I and the IRS. And don’t forget, EVERYTHING has a price. Even “free” (what goes round, comes around).

In the past I might have agreed with you, but after painfully watching the events of this administration and his media, I hate to say it but you’d be basically urinating into the wind.

I’m not rolling over. I’m gonna work like hell to remove every single traitor from office in 2014, but they’ll get this through before then.

JoJo the bitch boy (Ryan) is all aboard the amnesty train.

Great! I am mad as hell too, just trying to avoid anyone who comes off as defeated. It annoys the heck out of me.

Screw Ryan, I’ve been dinging him on his facebook and twitter, like ahole. He disgusts me!
