- Memo from Grasstops USA is all about calling Republican leadership to task.
- Speaker Ryan’s statement that Obama cannot be trusted on the issue of immigration gobsmacks people who know Ryan’s own record
Set forth below, the memo from Grasstops USA is a call to Republicans in Congress to deny Obama any use of tax dollars to fund his illegal immigration executive orders. The effort is pursuant to the recent Appellate Court decision which according to Politico “rejected President Barack Obama’s effort to move forward with a series of executive actions he announced last year seeking to give quasi-legal status and work permits to millions of undocumented immigrants.” Recently leaked memos maintain that Obama has plans to ignore the adverse ruling. The Appellate Court decision has been appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.
The effort puts Democrats on the spot of opposing a proposal to deny funds for something they should not do because of a court order, but they are doing in defiance of that court. Of course Democrats will oppose such a measure and Obama will veto it should it be passed, but the focus of attention on Democrat obstinance and lawlessness is worthy.

Sheriff Joe beats Obama to Supreme Court on amnesty (excerpt)
The U.S. Supreme Court already has been asked to address Obama’s executive amnesty in a separate case brought by Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona, who is represented by Larry Klayman of Freedom Watch.
The taxpayers of Maricopa County have been hit with an extra $9 million in expenses to house inmates who should have been deported. The costs are rising, so the sheriff challenged the president’s decision to grant even more illegal aliens permission to remain in the U.S.
The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals earlier threw out the case on an issue of standing, despite one judge’s alarm over the situation and her call for changes.
“Today we hold that the elected sheriff of the nation’s fourth largest county, located mere miles from our border with Mexico, cannot challenge the federal government’s deliberate non-enforcement of the immigration laws,” wrote Judge Janice Rogers Brown.
“I write separately to … note the consequences of our modern obsession with a myopic and constrained notion of standing.”
She said that while the government may call it “prosecutorial discretion,” Arpaio, views it “as a violation of the president’s duty to ‘take care that the laws be faithfully executed’ … and the non-delegation doctrine.”

Leaked Memo Confirms Obama To Defy The Courts And Forge Ahead On His Illegal Executive Amnesty.
“A newly LEAKED internal DHS memorandum produced for an off-the-record agency conclave reveals that the Obama administration is actively planning to circumvent a federal court injunction that suspended part of last November’s deferral-based amnesty initiative.” -The Hill
You’ve probably seen the initial news reports reports that are purposefully intended to pacify patriotic Americans into inactivity stating that the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals has dealt Barack Obama a massive blow and are stopped him from granting his illegal amnesty to millions of illegal aliens, but what the media did not tell you is that Barack Obama IS NOT STOPPING. This leaked memo confirms that Barack Obama is moving forward, full steam ahead, with his lawless, illegal and unconstitutional Executive Amnesty.
Make no mistake, this wannabe dictator intends to VIOLATE THE LAW because he knows the courts have no power to force him to obey the law. That’s not the job of the courts. But Congress has that power and it’s finally time to demand that Congress put a stop to Barack Obama’s lawless, illegal and unconstitutional Amnesty once and for all. . . .
This Leaked Memo Only Proves What We Already Know. Obama Was Planning To Violate The Law The Entire Time.
As a matter of fact, OBAMA’S HAS BEEN ACTIVELY VIOLATING Federal District Court Judge Andrew Hanen’s original injunction for well over a year.
– Jessica Vaughan, a former State Department officer, who is now an immigration expert at the Center for Immigration Studies, blew the lid off of Barack Obama’s covert Amnesty scheme some time ago when she exposed an October 6, 2014 bid solicitation, issued by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), seeking a vendor who can produce up to 34 million blank green cards and work permits.
– Jonathan Strong with Breitbart.com confirmed Vaughan’s report: “Unnoticed until now, a draft solicitation for bids issued by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Oct. 6 says potential vendors must be capable of handling a ‘surge’ scenario of 9 million id cards in one year ‘to support possible future immigration reform initiative requirements.’ … The guaranteed minimum for each ordering period is 4,000,000 cards. The estimated maximum for the entire contract is 34,000,000 cards.”
– And Congressman Lou Barletta (R—PA) came right out and accused the Obama Regime of instituting “covert actions to prepare for tens of millions of amnesty cases” and says this bid solicitation is “proof that the groundwork is already being laid to grant amnesty post-election to millions upon millions of people who have broken our laws to enter this country.”
And now, even though a federal appeals court has INSTRUCTED BARACK OBAMA TO STOP VIOLATING THE LAW, there is further confirmation that Obama remains undeterred:
– According to The Hill: “The Administration has already been criticized from the bench for handing out work permits to hundreds of thousands of deferred action beneficiaries, in direct violation of a district court’s order.”
– The Hill goes on to say: “[W]e now know that the Obama DHS has, rather than pausing to allow the courts to assess the constitutionality of its enforcement nullification initiatives, been gearing up…”
– And The Hill concludes: “Bottom line: The memo foreshadows more tactical offensives in a giant administrative amnesty for all 12 million illegal aliens who’ve broken our immigration laws (and many other laws)… If this document is indeed the cutting edge of Obama’s strategy for DHS to circumvent Judge Hanen’s injunction order, it would confirm the Administration’s bad faith and contempt both for the court and the law.”
Congress Talks The Talk But Still Refuses To Walk The Walk.
Don’t let anyone tell you that Obama can’t be stopped. He can be stopped. The dirty secret that no Republican elite in Washington wants you to know is that Barack Obama can make tyrannical decrees until the cows come home, but without funding from Congress his words and acclamations are meaningless… nothing more than mere words.
And as Senator Jeff Sessions has already explained, Congress does it all the time. “Hundreds, thousands of legislative actions throughout the years have barred the executive branch from spending money to execute policies Congress does not want to fund. We can do that.”
If you expose the man behind the curtail, you will find that the real problem is that far too many Republicans in Washington want amnesty for millions of illegal aliens and they are more than content to allow Barack Obama to violate the law to do it… so much better if he gets the blame.
The sad and simple truth of the matter is that Obama has been allowed to get away with so much because Congress has tacitly approved of his transgressions. Our elected officials will tell you that they oppose the radical Obama agenda and then… when they think you’re not looking… fund that radical agenda.
But, in the meantime… elected officials keep talking the talk:
– “Obama’s decision to ignore the limits placed on his power and act unilaterally to rewrite our nation’s immigration laws is an affront to the Constitution.” -Congressman Bob Goodlatte
– “This decision contributes to the mounting evidence that the president’s executive action on immigration was unlawful and he simply cannot be trusted on this issue.” -AshLee Strong, spokeswoman for House Speaker Paul Ryan
Newsflash Speaker Ryan… it’s not enough to simply exclaim that Barack Obama can’t “be trusted on this issue.” The American people could care less whether or not this self-described dictator has your trust. The question the American people want answered is whether or not you’re going to exert the legitimate authority of Congress and stop Barack Obama.
With your help, that’s the question we’re going to put to Speaker Ryan and we’re going to demand an answer and put a stop to Barack Obama’s illegal and unconstitutional Executive Amnesty once and for all.
