Obama Announces that he Will Rule Without Congress on Immigration

[DavenRoxy 1,073]

On Monday, President Obama announced what many Americans had long expected, but Constitutionalists have long feared. Obama announced that he was taking unilateral action on the issue of immigration reform

In the same Rose Garden where two years ago he announced his unilateral plan to stop enforcing existing immigration laws in favor of handling deportations on a case-by-case basis, President Obama announced on Monday that he would, in the following months, be taking action without the approval of Congress to address illegal immigration and immigration reform issues.

How unsurprising. But let's see exactly what this dictator pushes through.

Is Obama the first president to act unilaterally on anything?

Bush did it to in 3,2,1

Is it a difficult question to answer, or are you not interested in the answer?

I see the ignore is working just fine

It all depends on Boehner's tanning schedule. If he continues to do nothing, the country will need to move on without him and the Teaparty Bullies... The TBs will be left behind, not that thay have any interest in passing legislation.

We still have a Congress?

Four times a week or thereabouts.

I suspect Obama will require the border guards to wear blindfolds and then report how many illegals they saw.

Problem solved. No illegals seen crossing the border.

That Obama is quite the problem solver

Whats so funny with the Obama heads.

They report deportations are up under obama. Although interior deportations are way down, border deportations are way up.

See under Obama when they turn you away at the border it is now a deportation, so ergo deportations are up, The press buys this BS, in fact deportations or the way they use to be counted are way down

Yes it's 1984 . Up is down, down is up

It is not. When someone it turned away at the border it is not considered a deportation. The numbers that are up are those of immigrants caught by the border patrol agents after they have crossed into US territory. However you can make an argument and claim that since these immigants entered the US without inspection they can't be deported. Any port in a storm...

In addition, you probably have missed the threads where the motley crew was telling everyone Obama had declared war on immigrants for having increased the number of border patrol agents to way above those of any previous administration, the very reason deportations were up.

So many choices...

but you will agree they were not counted the same until Obama was in office, so to say deportations are up is not true

Wrong. Again.

I do enjoy the almost artistic tap dancing though.

However following your rationale, if the deportations 'were not counted the same' it really makes no sense to say that they are up or down, not because it is not true, but because you have nothing to compare with. You really just knocked down that entire argument.
