After months of delays, President Obama is poised to finally take executive action to address the crisis of America’s 11 million undocumented immigrants, 85 percent of whom are estimated to have lived in the United States for at least five years. Relying on the same authority presidents of both parties have used for over 70 years to permit millions of Mexicans, European refugees, Cubans, Haitians, Vietnamese, and others to legally stay and work in the United States, Obama reportedly will issue executive orders "to protect up to five million undocumented immigrants from the threat of deportation and provide many of them with work permits."
Predictably, the Republican response has been—pun intended—fast and furious. On Capitol Hill, Rep. Hal Rogers (R-KY) and Sens. Mike Lee (R-UT) and Jeff Sessions (R-AL) are threatening to shut down the federal government rather than fund President Obama’s new immigration enforcement policies. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Orrin Hatch (R-UT) among others have warned they will block the nomination of Loretta Lynch if she—or any other Obama nominee for attorney general—refuses to repudiate the president’s executive orders on immigration. But some Republicans in Congress and many among the GOP’s hardest of hard-liners want to go even further by impeaching the president of the United States. As Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX) announced this week:
Well impeachment is indicting in the House and that’s a possibility. But you still have to convict in the Senate and that takes a two-thirds vote. But impeachment would be a consideration, yes sir.I think there is a bigger issue here, the republicans do not want Hispanics to be here in the capacity of anything other than workers with permits that are expirable. they see them not as people looking for a better life like most of their ancestors did but as Progressive voters. statistics already predict a boom in their demographic with an already depleting presence the republicans know that would mean never again for their Draconian rule. do they fear after their run that those former minorities now in charge would seek revenge?
I think they do think that because it is what they would do, he who knows not suspects not and they are driven by the larceny in their own hearts 'If we are doing it, so is everyone else" aside from their God complex they are not wrong must be hard to tell yourself you are right to be the scourge on everyone's life and that there is nothing wrong with that. those who are compassionate to their fellow Americans of all economic status like you don't have to be rich to play in our game, they however are still playing on that segregated field with a few token wannabe's for atmosphere.
That extreme reaction to President Obama’s supposed "lawless, reckless, a leap into the anti-democratic dark" is a little puzzling. After all, the Oval Office occupant Speaker John Boehner is suing for acting like "a king" has turned to executive orders much less frequently than his predecessors. And as Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson acknowledged, Congress has often acted after (even months or years after) to codify or modify presidential action on immigration enforcement. Presidents Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush were no exception.
But if the roles were reversed, we know Republicans would not be accusing the president "poisoning the well" or "burning himself" or "waving a red flag in front of a bull." Instead, the GOP and its amen corner would level a familiar charge at Democrats:
"Criminalizing conservatism.”
Clinton "it takes a lot of brass to accuse someone of what you do" and makes you even more ridiculous when you try to pin that same tale to a different donkey, all was well in both houses until McConnell said it was his number one job to one term Pres. he just left out that in that effort "we the people would have to sit on the back burner, that they turned off.
