Incentives:
Barack Obama's insistence that he will sign an executive order that will allow as many as 6 million illegal immigrants to stay in the country will only create a new surge of illegal migrants across the U.S. border, says the National Border Patrol.
"We definitely see increases in illegal aliens coming across the border when there is national talk of an amnesty," Shawn Moran of the National Border Patrol Council told Newsradio 1200 WOAI.
You mean like last spring and summer? I thought that was driven by climate change. You mean the words of the POTUS actually mean things and stuff? You mean there are carbon-based life forms on this planet that actually still listen to Barack Hussein Obama?
Wow, who knew? I had no idea that teléfonosObama had spread that far.
He said that Mexican and Latin American smuggling cartels seize on messages from the administration to recruit people who may be desperate to escape poverty and violent crime in their own countries.
"Under President Bush there was talk of immigration reform, and they would say, 'we're coming here for the amnesty,'" Moran said, adding that changes in the administration's immigration policy will create a new surge.
Moran used as an example the recent influx of minors from Central America.
"That was largely fueled by the idea that we were not enforcing our immigration laws, and if you got to this country, you could stay here," he said, according to WOAI.
Aaaaaaaand collect your welfare checks, take whatever jobs of ours might be left, pick up your teléfonosObama, vote for Democrats (by an 8-1 margin, remember), and otherwise give American citizens a jaunty salute....
....just like their president:
On Sunday, Obama defended his decision to act and said he was not trying to circumvent Congress, but that he had waited long enough for it to take action.
Really? I must have missed the "If Congress won't do what I want, I'm gonna do it for them" clause of Article II, Mr. "Constitutional Law Professor". In my (obviously obsolete) version of the Founding Document, Article I, Section 1 says, "ALL legislative Powers HEREIN granted [by the States to the federal government] SHALL be vested in a CONGRESS of the United States....," not, "Most legislative Powers herein granted will usually be vested in a Congress of the United States unless the President of the United States loses an election and breaks out in tyranny hives."
"The minute they pass a bill that addresses the problems with immigration reform, I will sign it and it supersedes whatever actions I take," Obama said on CBS' "Face the Nation."
"And I'm encouraging them to do so . . . on parallel track we're going to be implementing an executive action.
See? Red Barry isn't stealing Congress's Article I, Section 1 legislative authority; he's just "borrowing" it for a while, until they "come to their senses".
It sounds like a hostage negotiation, doesn't it? Or, rather, a hostage negotiation after the hostage has already been shot through the head four times. "It'd be a shame for anything to....happen....again....to Article I, Section 1...."
Does that sound too harsh? Maybe The One is generously offering to share the credit and the glory for the amnesty that the American people are unanimously demanding?
Uh, yeah, about that....:
Americans who voted in the midterms on Tuesday overwhelming are opposed to President Barack Obama's executive amnesty and do not want foreign workers to take jobs from Americans and legal immigrants who are already here.
An exit poll conducting by Kellyanne Conway's The Polling Company found that three-quarters (74%) of voters believed that "President Obama should work with Congress rather than around Congress on immigration and separately."
Overall, strong "majorities of men (75%), women (74%), whites (79%), blacks (59%), and Hispanics [!!!] (54%)," in addition to tri-partisan majorities of "self-identified Republicans (92%), Independents (80%), and Democrats [!!!] (51%)" did not want Obama to enact an executive amnesty on his own. Only 20% of voters wanted Obama to move forward with his executive amnesty.
"The President may be the last person in town to realize how resistant Americans are to him playing the Lone Ranger on amnesty," the polling memo stated. "In fact, based on his press conference yesterday, he has either suspended disbelief or has no awareness of how the immigration issue and his threats to act alone contributed to his party suffering massive losses on Tuesday." [emphases added]
Oh, believe me, Ms. Conway, Barack Obama is neither unaware nor disbelieving of how the immigration issue and his threats to "act alone" contributed to his party suffering massive losses a week ago. He knows. That's why this, well, "Mexican standoff" so resembles a hostage situation. He knows what he's threatening is massively unpopular and will dig his party steadily deeper into the hole he's spent the last year digging for them - a hole that, if he keeps this up, really might gut the Democrat Party as a national political entity for a generation. But remember the upside: Forcibly import and amnestize enough illegals to swamp every remaining "red" state and enclave, and the Democrat Party will rule Obamerikastan forever. That's the prize on which O's eyes are fixated, and he will never avert that gaze.
The other angle is that he thinks he can goad the incoming Republican Congress into committing political suicide by enacting amnesty for him just to try and recover its constitutional prerogatives. Either that or impeachment, which would be tantamount to the same thing.
And when I say "political suicide," I do mean "political suicide":
80% of voters surveyed wanted "new jobs created by the economy to go to American workers and legal immigrants already in the country." The view was shared across all regions - 74% in the Northeast, 80% in the Midwest, 85% in the South, and 80% in the West - and among men and women (no gender gap).
As the Polling Company noted, these numbers turn "on its head the elitist idea that illegal immigrants 'do the jobs that Americans don't want to do.'"
"Voters overwhelmingly prefer an immigration system that protects American workers," the polling memo states.
It just doesn't sound like there's any out for the border erasure crowd at this point, does it?
And yet, for some RINOs, political deathwishes really are unkillable:
Barack Obama's intention to sign an executive order to grant amnesty to potentially millions of illegal immigrants will hurt the nation's chances of comprehensive reform, Senator John McCain told Newsmax TV on Monday.
He and other senators have written to Obama urging him not to go forward with the plan.
"It means that it's going to dramatically harm the chances for comprehensive immigration reform and makes you question really how interested or committed he is to that, because if he would wait some months — a few months wouldn't matter either way; after all, we've been at this effort for a long time," McCain, an Arizona Republican, told "The Steve Malzberg Show."
It's almost as if Darth Queeg is joining Slow Joe in whispering, ""Look, kid, if you don't listen to me, you are going to f**k up this whole thing. So get your mom jeans out of their wad and be patient; we'll deliver amnesty to you."
The irony in this instance is that his imperial majesty has the better picture of the current political landscape. And that is why, just as he did with ObamaCare, he's going to shove Executive amnesty down the throats of a country that vehemently opposes it, polls and the "will of the people" be damned.
It is how he's ruled for six years and counting, with no end in sight.
