[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When Americans break the law, they go to jail. When illegal immigrants break the law, they get free stuff. Meanwhile, our veterans have dropped dead waiting.

Sounds fair ....

Exactly.  This “establishment Republican” doesn’t want Obama to issue an EO because:
1.  I believe it is unconstitutional.  He and his administration are already on thin ice NOT enforcing immigration laws.  You know, that old promise to “faithfully execute the laws” and stuff.
2.  It will send a message to others thinking about entering illegally that everything is fine - just do it.
3.  Entering illegally is a crime.  We have enough home grown criminals.
4.  Unemployment is still high, despite what the administration says.  We don’t need more people coming to take jobs.

Obama is using this as a political issue.  You know.... rally his base and everything.  [/quote]

[b]Obama has deported more people than either Bush[/b].  The administration was aggressively fining employer who illegally employed illegal immigrants, that is until the Republicans and big businesses pushed back.  The Chamber of Commerce is all for raising the number of non-US citizens being allowed into the country to take Tech jobs, which is why they are for the EO.[/quote]

I am sure that you also believe that if you liked your doctor, you could keep him, or if you liked your plan you could keep it.
His deportations are based on contrived numbers.

[quote] ...the administration has started counting certain “returns” as “removals” in order to artificially inflate the numbers and create a “record level” of deportations. Specifically, those illegals caught by the Border Patrol who are shuttled to a different town along the border before they’re returned are being dishonestly counted as deportations. The point of this Alien Transfer Exit Program (ATEP) is to disrupt smuggling networks and make it harder to just keep crossing until you get through. But they’re still just returns, without any “administrative or criminal consequences placed on subsequent reentry.” This has falsely increased the number of total removals by more than 100,000 in the past two years. Smith noted, “When the numbers from this Border Patrol program are removed from this year’s deportation data, it shows that removals are actually down nearly 20% from 2009.”

This is not just a case of spin or fudging or “political lying,” as VDH describes it below. This is pure fabrication. And, naturally, the MSM fall for it.[/quote][/quote]
