Congress must still defund Obama’s amnesty for illegals . . .

. . . and while they are at it, his vacation junkets and the horse he rode in on.

---

Do any of our readers doubt that some Republicans would be willing to slow walk, sabotage grassroots sentiment, undermine, surrender, claim their hands are tied regarding Obama’s UNCONSTITUTIONAL amnesty for illegal aliens executive orders in order to do Chamber of Commerce bidding for cheap labor?

Some supposedly knowledgeable Republican “leaders” with a straight face continue to claim that they are politically between a rock and a hard-place and that Republican fortunes depend on heeling to the Democrat minority in order to avoid blame for “shutting down DHS.”   It is a preposterous position that takes advantage of Republican loyalty. It is a position that disregards the November election and popular attitudes.  Consider this poll out of Georgia –  SHOCK POLL: 70% of DEMS say jobs should go to Americans first…

Excerpts from the writeup:

Ninety percent of Republicans and 70 percent of Democrats said that Americans “should get the future jobs in Georgia” prior to the hiring of foreign workers.

Only 5.3 percent of Republicans say jobs should go to the cheapest workers, either Americans or foreign. This compares to 12.8 percent of Democrats and 16.2 percent of independents who say the same.

Those answers contradict the conventional media portrayal of GOP voters as anti-worker, and highlight the growing GOP focus on the lower-income workers who strongly oppose wage-cutting immigration. That populist trend helped businessman David Purdue win his Senate seat in 2014, despite his conflict with the state’s Chamber of Commerce.

Obama’s amnesty executive order is unpopular and UNCONSTITUTIONAL but Republican legislative leadership has been ridiculously weak-kneed even suggesting there is political risk in fighting it to the hilt.  The political damage is in not fighting it, portraying spinelessness and haplessness, heretofore Mitch McConnell’s particular gig with guest appearances from Speaker Boehner.  Now both have made noises like they might try to portray  the Democrat minority as the recalcitrants and to put them on the spot with their own constituencies. The poll linked to above would suggest the later opportunity and maybe give Republican leadership the strength  to tell the Chamber of Commerce lobbyists to pound sand.

Update: Illegal Aliens Will Now Be Eligible For Billions Of Dollars In Cash Payments From The IRS — Up To $24,000.00 Per Illegal Alien.

       You read that right: under Obama’s unconstitutional Executive Amnesty Decree, large cash payments will be the reward for those who are already here illegally… and it will be the reward for those who choose to break our laws and come to the United States illegally in the foreseeable future.

But that’s not all. According to Senator Jeff Sessions and Congressman Bob Goodlatte, the Obama Regime is quietly attempting to rewrite U.S. Customs and Immigration (USCIS) policy to place illegal aliens on a path to citizenship and moreover, many of those who will be eligible are for this Executive Amnesty are ILLEGAL ALIENS with SERIOUS CRIMINAL RECORDS.

As a matter of fact, Sheriff Paul Babeu of Pinal County, Arizona recently testified before Congress that illegal aliens “with serious criminal records” are already being “brought to the bus stations” and are “heading to your neighborhoods.”

Amazingly, many Republicans in Congress are standing firm and refusing to fund Barack Obama’s unconstitutional amnesty decree but the liberal media is turning up the heat and — we have to be very frank here — they WILL buckle if they don’t hear from you right here and right now.

“The House Has Done Its Job Under The Constitution. It’s Time For The Senate To Do Their Job.” – John Boehner

       Even the blind squirrel finds the occasional nut and, for once, John Boehner is right. When Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell tried to cave to a Democrat filibuster, he had the nerve to essentially instruct John Boehner to go back to the drawing board and send him legislation to fund Obama’s unconstitutional Executive Amnesty Decree.

Sorry Mitch, it doesn’t work that way. Even Boehner drew a line in the sand and made it very clear on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace that he “won’t send the Senate a new bill that Senate Democrats would accept.”

And why should he? That’s not his job. What is McConnell thinking? Cash payments and pathways to citizenship for convicted foreign criminals… has McConnell gone mad?

No Mr. McConnell, your job is clear and it involves telling Barack Obama to take a long walk off of a very short pier.

Did Barack Obama not say, on at least twenty occasions, that his Executive Amnesty Decree is UNCONSTITUTIONAL?

Didn’t ten of the Democrat Senators who are filibustering funding for the Department of Homeland Security — Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Claire McCaskill (D-MO), Joe Manchin (D-WV), Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND), Jon Tester (D-MT), Al Franken (D-MN), Tom Carper (D-DE), Mark Warner (D-VA), Angus King (I-ME) and Joe Donnelly (D-IN) — tell the voters back in November that they OPPOSE Barack Obama’s Executive Amnesty Decree?

So what’s the problem? Why would anyone in Washington oppose a piece of legislation that funds the Department of Homeland Security and prohibits Barack Obama from spending money to implement something that is UNCONSTITUTIONAL?

It’s time to show Barack Hussein Obama that we mean business and now that Boehner has draw a line in the sand, it’s up to us to tell Mitch McConnell to fly right and keep that promise.

But Here’s The Ultimate Irony.

       Assume for a moment that Republicans do cave and give Barack Obama’s Department of Homeland Security the funds to implement the Executive Amnesty Decree.

Has Barack Obama not already made it abundantly clear that he is still not going to do what is necessary to keep the citizens of this great nation safe from a terrorist attack.

       Let’s be real for just a moment.

Seriously… Does anyone actually believe that Barack Obama is serious about fighting the war on terror? And that being the case, has anyone in Washington taken the time to consider that Barack Obama and Senate Democrats are trying to blackmail the American people with NOTHING?

It’s tantamount to a mugger telling you beforehand that he’s going to shoot you whether you give him your wallet or not. So why is McConnell handing over his wallet?

Here’s the bottom line: If Republicans stand firm, Barack Obama will NOT do what is necessary to protect this nation from a terrorist attack and if Republicans cave, Barack Obama will still NOT do what is necessary to protect the citizens of this great nation from a terrorist attack.

Alea iacta est. Unfortunately, the die, in that regard, is already cast… we’re damned either way.

So here’s our offer Mr. Obama.  YOU GET NOTHING and we’re not about to let you use the Department of Homeland Security as a vehicle to implement your lawless and dictatorial amnesty decree.

If Democrats, shut down the Department of Homeland Security, so be it. Republicans must not waiver.

No Mr. Obama, The American People Will Not Be Held Hostage.

       You probably remember when Barack Obama had the nerve to call patriot Americans “hostage takers,” but it’s clear that the only one who is attempting to hold the American people hostage is Barack Hussein Obama.

And this isn’t the first time he’s attempted to hold the American people hostage. Here are a few more, courtesy of the American Family Association:

“Since 2008, President Barack Obama has added 18 million foreign workers to the American Labor Force. Believe it or not, some Americans are being fired and replaced with Obama’s ‘foreign workers.'”

“Homeland Security has ordered Border Agents to stop enforcing immigration law and in fact has set up a hot-line for illegal aliens to report any treatment by U.S. Customs or Border Patrol Agents by which they perceive they were treated ‘contrary to the new DHS enforcement priorities.'”

“Illegal immigrants are being issued Social Security Cards, Work Permits, and now Child Income Credits from the IRS for as much as $24,000 per family.”

“Transgender illegal immigrants held in detention are guaranteed ‘a right to hormone therapy.’ According to CNS News, Homeland Security is described as the ‘largest agency that has custody of transgender individuals.'”

And “failing to defund amnesty gives President Obama the green light to write his own laws, instead of enforcing the laws Congress passes.”

The Obama Dictatorship ends today… if not today, there may be no stopping it.

But That’s Not All… The President Of Mexico Is In On The Fix.

       Special perks for transgendered illegal aliens? … Special Income Tax Credits for lawbreakers who have never even paid any taxes? … A hotline for illegal aliens to report agents who do not offer swift and courteous service to lawbreakers…?

Oh yes… it’s insanity… but there’s more:

The Washington Times reported that the president of Mexico, Enrique Pena Nieto, “told President Obama… that his government will supply the documents necessary for millions of illegal Mexican immigrants to prove they’ve been living in the U.S. prior to 2010, a move that will help them qualify for Mr. Obama’s recently announced deportation amnesty.” Yup… he’s in on it too.

National Review Online reports that a “former U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services official warned a Senate hearing on Wednesday that [Barack] Obama’s executive actions on immigration may be too much for the agency to handle.” Causing a crisis to overwhelm the system… does that sound familiar to you?

The New American reports: “The Border Patrol has apparently gone from being a law enforcement agency to a group of social workers.”

And according to NewsMax: “In the first six years of President Barack Obama’s term in office, the U.S. government has issued 5.46 million new work permits to immigrants, including nearly 1 million to illegal aliens.” If you want to know where all the jobs are… there you go.

It’s time to send a message to Barack Obama. The American people are not hostages… the American people do not negotiate with hostage-takers and it’s time to see to it that our elected officials deliver that message to him, loud and clear.
