Why the Amnesty Lobby is Freaking Out
Townhall ^ | Apr 08, 2014 | Conn Carroll

Posted on 04/08/2014 8:22:19 AM PDT by george76

The Congressional Hispanic Caucus is done being patient. There was a time when an Oval Office meeting with President Obama could buy their silence. But no longer.

On Friday April 4, the CHC sent a six-page letter to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson demanding that Obama use "all legal means available" to "suspend, delay, or dispense with the deportations of immigrants who would qualify for legal status and protection under S. 744."

At no point does the letter bother to call for new legislation or the passage of S.744. Instead, the CHC just demands that Obama enforce current law as if he had already signed S.744.

...

amnesty advocates are freaking out now. They know that if Democrats lose the Senate this November, they'll be cut out of the debate entirely.

The Amnesty Advocates don’t need to panic.
No matter what happens in November, Obama still has his pen, his phone, and burning hatred for the USA. He will take care of them with executive orders.

Here's a NEW MOVIE that uses an action thriller format to show the honest side of life on our southern border and the sleaziness of Washington D.C.

(It was done by a young indy film maker in my neighborhood)

"He will take care of them with executive orders."

Just as he has probably already taken care of Lois Lerner's pardon.

what you say is ridiculous. democrats used the 1965 immigration act to import 80 million 3rd world immigrants legal and illegal since 1965. THAT is why the USA is on the way to becoming a socialist state. that is what you favor. you are for socialism and against freedom. in my city is inundated with 3rd world immigrant scum. you are for the destruction of America.anyone that is for more immigrants legal or illegal is a traitor to America , a traitor to freedom and individualism.

Immigrants are NOT Americans

They don’t share our values

I can give you just one example that almost all non-Americans believe that is alien to us: non-Americans believe that it is ok for the government to ban guns , to not allow us to own guns. on this immigrants agree with democrats.

there are 330 million people in the USA

the last thing we need is more immigrants((legal or illegal) and especially the socialists coming in here recently

you are a democrat

Obama has only gotten away with his illegal DACA amnesty because of its limited scope.

No.

Obama got away with breaking this law for the same reason he has gotten away with breaking uncountable other laws.

That reason is our corrupt media that backs him almost 100% on anything he does.

And they instantly attack and attempt to discredit and destroy anyone who even suggests Obama should be impeached or otherwise held accountable for breaking the law and breaking his oath of office.

The majority of people do not closely follow politics and are uninformed on the minutia of what takes place in Washington

They form their opinions on what they hear on talk shows, comments from comedians and entertainers and the occasional headlines.

The media put Obama in office and has protected him for five years.

As a whole, they are are whores for Obama and will defend him to the end.

Most on this site agree that we don’t need any more immigrants to the USA legal or illegal. heck , most Americans agree with that. you should be banned from any conservative site for that belief of yours imo

".. “all immigrants are bad” mentality hurts the conservatives’ credibility on this issue."

Certainly makes an easy target for the low info lefties. But that group will swallow Jeb's "act of love" crap all day long.

Most of us have a history of immigrants in our background. My gg grandfather immigrated from Ireland in 1850 at the age of 8. ,p> True about our immogrant history.

What you are not taking into account is that this is not our grandfathers' America.

Two things to consider:

That’s bs. If you read my post i point out some truths. how it is immigrants that have ruined this country especially the 3rd world immigrants that the democrats have imported since their 1965 immigration act. he is just using leftist tactics to silence me and the truth . you have to post the truth to show people what is really going on.

Yep. She has probably seen her signed pardon. All she has to do is remain silent.

"Immigrants are NOT Americans"

Ok this cheese is simply too tempting….

Todays (legal) immigrants may not be a gung-ho on America as their predecessors were in the 60s/70s/80s but for the most part still come to join 'our' way of life.

On the other hand, you are quite right that Illegal Aliens do not "share our values". They consider themselves foreign nationals, have no respect for the US sovereignty, or our law. Obviously, American values are held in equally low esteem.

How the White House responds to the amnesty lobbies demands will determine whether the democrats lose or lose huge.

I love your post. Immigrants have become such sacred cows that even those opposed to illegal immigration will jump to say, “Oh, I have no problem with LEGAL immigrants! Bring them on!” But we need a moratorium on ALL immigration. We’ve taken in far too many, and they’re not assimilating. Every problem we have in this country is either caused by, or greatly worsened by, the massive immigration we have had in this country in recent decades.

"That’s bs."

Hardly. And I'm well versed on the subject thank you very much.

The statement "all immigrants are bad" may have much truth to it put in correct context. Problem is anything that follows that statement will likely go unread.

Immigrants used to BECOME Americans, and it didn’t take long because they WANTED to become Americans. Sure there were enclaves, but they were usually competing with each other in the race for full normalization, full assimilation.

But that was back in the days when teachers had time only for the students and the subjects they were to teach. And many of those students read more and with greater comprehension in the fifth grade than college grads of today, and they went out and supported their families on that and later learning—nearly all of it for free.

The fault, in other words, is with US, not with the immigrants.

The “advocates” should be pressuring Mexico to make itself such that most Americans want to immigrate there.

Are you some sort of troll? I wouldn’t normally ask that, but your posts seem to be a caricature of conservatism. In other words, you write like someone on the left who is trying to post what they think a far right person would post.

No. Some immigrants ARE American. Those that obey the law to immigrate here, learn the language, and assimilate into our culture are definitely American. Yes. There are immigrants who do exactly that, which also proves they share our values.

This doesn’t mean I support illegal immigration or even legal immigration without strict standards that serve America first. It does mean I think you’re spouting nonsense when you make a blanket statement that millions of legal immigrants not Americans.
