Obama launches 'secret' new immigration scheme (11th hour 'rule change' totally bypasses Congress)
WND ^ | 31 Dec 2015 | Leo Hohmann

Posted on 12/31/2015 1:57:11 PM PST by amorphous

In the final hours of 2015 the Obama administration has quietly proposed a host of rule changes that critics say will end up being a bonanza for foreign students and illegal immigrants seeking work in the U.S. while putting a dagger in the hearts of thousands of American workers.

The rules, as proposed by Obama's Department of Homeland Security, make it easier for employers to hire and retain foreign workers who have not yet received their green cards or "lawful protected resident" status.

The U.S. already hands out approximately 1 million green cards per year, but under the proposed changes those foreigners who apply unsuccessfully for a green card can enter the workforce with a temporary work permit.

The proposed changes, all 181 pages of them, showed up in the Federal Register on New Year’s Eve. They would ease regulations that govern the way work permits are handed out to foreign nationals, including some who enter the U.S. illegally or who come on visas that would not allow them to work.

One of the most pernicious of these new rules, according to immigration-watchdog groups, is the treatment of illegal immigrants who enter the U.S. seeking asylum.

Buried on page 113 of the document is a provision that says "Aliens who have properly filed applications for asylum or withholding of deportation or removal" will automatically be eligible to receive a work permit.

"Someone could just show up at border, file for asylum, and get a work permit - without even having to meet asylum criteria," said one congressional aide on Capitol Hill.

As Rush warned, the things Obama is going to try to do during his last year are going to amaze everyone.

Nothing to see here folks - the GOP just fully funded his illegal activities and gave him a blank check on raising Debt. Hope you aren’t waiting for some type of reaction out of the Congressional body!!

Obama White House Turns To Islamists Who Demonize Terror Investigations
Posted on December 28, 2015

Jihadist attacks in San Bernardino and Paris have Americans on edge. Yet part of the Obama White House’s response to the attacks has been to invite Islamist groups that routinely demonize the FBI and other law-enforcement agencies to the White House to discuss a religious discrimination. “If we’re to succeed in defeating terrorism we must enlist Muslim communities as some of our strongest allies, rather than push them away,” President Obama said in his speech following the San Bernardino attack.

But partnering with such organizations sends the wrong message to the American people, said Zuhdi Jasser, president of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy (AFID).

“I think it says a lot when the president uses those organizations that have an ACLU-type mentality. They should have a seat at the table. That’s fine,” Jasser said. “But not to include groups, which have completely different focuses about counter-radicalization, counter-Islamism creates this monolithic megaphone for demonization of our government and demonization of America that ends up radicalizing our community.”

A White House spokesperson acknowledged to the Investigative Project on Terrorism that the Dec. 14 meeting on countering anti-Muslim animus included Hassan Shibly, executive director of Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) Florida chapter. The same forum - attended by Senior Adviser Valerie Jarrett and Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes - also included Farhana Khera, president and executive director of Muslim Advocates; Maya Berry, executive director of the Arab-American Institute (AAI); Mohamed Magid, imam of the All Dulles Area Muslim Society (ADAMS); and Hoda Hawa, director of policy and advocacy with the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) among others.

The USSR lasted 74 years. The progs can last just as long by stacking immigration like they are doing.

You really expect the GOP Congress to do something about it?

And then they wonder why Trump is ahead in the polls.

I sure hope we one get a President who loves the United States of America. Having a President who hates the country (as we’ve had for the last 8 years) just isn’t working out.

Communism or Nazism isn't as dangerous as Islamism:


Muslim Activist Says This Is Why Islamism Is 'Much More Dangerous Than Nazism'

Dr. Qanta Ahmed, a committed Muslim who is outspoken about the dangers of Islamism, warned Tuesday that Islamism is much more dangerous than Nazism."


The Muslims will turn on the progressives too, as soon as they no longer need them in the role as useful idiots in helping to take down the West.

Someone has to pin Rubio down on what he thinks should be done about Obama’s new immigration rules about whether the blame should rest with McConnell and Ryan for the budget fiasco.

Why is he bypassing Congress? Congress lets him do whatever he wants, gives him everything he wants.

I’d like to propose a new holiday for the nation, on Friday January 20th, 2017, the day Obama officially leaves office (assuming he does), we celebrate freedom from the worst tyrannical POS this nation has ever known. We celebrate like never before! Ticker tape parades! Fireworks! The whole nine yards!
