Obama To Announce Amnesty Plans Tomorrow Night
2014-11-19
If the Republicans fund a dime of this, I'll never vote for another one of them in my life...
President Barack Obama will make a statement on immigration on Thursday night, followed by a rally at a Las Vegas high school with Senator Harry Reid on Friday, two sources familiar with the situation told NBC News.

Results from a NBC News-Wall Street Journal poll released on Wednesday found that the president is entering risky political territory with his planned action on immigration but that Americans broadly share his goals for policy reform.

#17  At this rate Injun, he will have a pissed off crowd storming the White House in 18 months to pull him off his throne.

But he won't be there.

He will be found months later being pulled from a hide-hole and saying now he is willing to negotiate.

#16  The backlash from this may exceed all of Mr. Obama's hopes. Initially, he and his ilk will enjoy it. Later, not so much.

#15  The republicans have had an immigration bill stuck in the Senate for months, the dems have one stuck in the house for about as long. F&*k them all, the Mexicans are crossing the border because the bitches in DC just want to squander this great nation and refuse to work together. Let the Mexicans come, this nation can not stand with the leader we have.

#14  Do it all nice and legal like. Then if he won't go all bets are off.

#13  Maybe it is time to impeach the bastard. Make that the first priority of the new Congress in January. Then if Biden starts this shit impeach him too. Boehner wouldn't be my favorite president but he'd be better than what we have now.

#12  Amnesty has nothing to do with Immigration.

It is rewarding those who break out laws by violating our borders. These are not immigrants.

In short it is much like saying we will not prosecute robbery, theft, rape, murder, or other crimes. (Something Holder attemtpt to do for 'his people').

We have to stop calling it an immigration issue - it isn't. It is a border (and national) security issue.

#11  No one has yet explained why it's necessary to have a sweeping amnesty plan this week, as opposed to last week or next week. What's the rush?

So, okay, the president and the Congress can't agree on immigration. That's about, what, 30 things on which they don't agree? Or 300? I can never keep track. Okay, they can't agree. That generally means nothing gets done which is the way most Americans prefer it.

What's the rush? What's the crisis? What's the exigent emergency?

#10  Don't forget our custom made DHS Youth Brigade.

#9  If that's the case, Paul, it's a good thing he's been purging the military for the past few years.

#8  Maybe he will try do declare martial law and the military will go and arrest him and the den of jackals in the WH.

#7  Darth and NMBS are unfortunately reading this right. Divide the people to a point were reconciliation is impossible, then implement draconian civil laws to suppress. He wanted to fundamentally change our nation, he is doing just that!

#6  This is very dangerous stuff, community organizer/rules for radicals playbook stuff that Champ thinks translates from local/municipal theater to the national stage.

It doesn't, lines are forming around beliefs that existential issues of America as we know it are at stake. Importing foreign, illegal residents, at our expense, and awarding them with benefits and the promise of citizenship is now a blatant strategy to create a singe, permanent political party in control of the nation. Then the wealth redistribution of the holdings of the "legacy" citizens (IRA/401k/457/savings) to the government to buy the votes of the imported proletarians. This isn't mere community organization, it is going to create civil unrest beyond any expectations, and if it morphs into a race/faith based confrontation, Katie bar-the-door....

#5  49Pan, the plan is to keep creating chaos, even at his party's expense until the people finally start rising up against him and then he declares martial law and gets rid of the pesky two year term limit and elections and the republican congress.

#4  I agree w/Pan 49: the timing is perfect for instigating 2-for-1 rioting.

#3  His timing is perfect. The grand jury will announce in Ferguson day after tomorrow and derail the news cycles over immigration.

SO what's his plan? WH.gov has some old stuff up. The stuff on WH.gov seems reasonable. I would like to see exactly what he is proposing before I have a response to it. As much as I despise the man our congress cant agree on anything but pork.

#2  Barack Obama will make a statement on immigration on Thursday night, followed by a rally at a Las Vegas high school with Senator Harry Reid... Dumb and dumber.

There is going to be a huge pushback on this---if not from the Washington Pub establishment, from the people. Not good for hispanics legally here, not good for blacks, not good for unions/workers, not good for welfare systems and safety net systems, not good for anyone except the illegals. Obama is giving the illegals a de facto vote over the votes of the American people; those who foot the bill. Clower and Pivens at work.

#1  There is a policy to welcome anything at the border and deport almost zero. Does 'reforming' mean go back and following laws this time? Will there be spanish subtitles scrolling during during the change of the union speech? Will LaRaza be in the audience?
