Liberal icon Cesar Chavez was vehemently against legal and illegal immigration. He understood supply and demand. A high supply of labor results in low wages.

Big business loves low wages too.

Obama and the progressives see votes.

Establishment Republicans and the business interests they represent see cheap controllable workers.

Only thing thats for sure is that neither group has our best interests in mind.

The only reason it hasn't happened IMO is that the powers that control the old guard of the Republican party know that if they don't play it right it will trigger a full out war between them and Tea Party/Liberatarians that would probably cost them control of the party for good.

My guess is they let Obama do it via EO so they can pretend to stomp their feet in the press while celebrating behind closed doors.



This is a very accurate assessment IMO.

Excellent assessment!


You're pretty sharp for a Gump.

This. Then when a Republican Pres repeals it in 2016, they'll claim "victory". frick 'em all. There is no room for compromise on this.

The Paul-Chamber pairing-up in this election cycle was interesting.

Obama will look at this like a no lose situation. He either gets 20,000,000 votes voting at an 80% clip for the Dems which is a win or he gets impeachment proceedings which will get spun his way leadng in to the 2016 election.

He has no reason not to troll us and do it.

Watch the end of this 15 second ad carefully. Same with the Paul ads for Ernst, Sullivan and Tillis.

Ok, that's a huge strike against Rand and in less than five seconds, I'm cooling the hell down on him.


I really hope he isn't partnering up with an organization I consider to be an enemy of the United States of America.

He's trying to change the demographics of America to offset all the people he is alienating with his presidency.

And because he hates America.

Votes. Lots and lots of votes.


Amnesty doesn't grant citizenship though..they still can't vote. I know people think voter fraud, but stats from previous years show only about 6 percent of illegals manage to cast a vote, and with the new voter ID laws in Texas I don't think they'll get that many anymore.

To grant those people citizenship or provide a path to citizenship, they'll have to pass an immigration bill through Congress. An Executive Order can be undone by the next President, and if Obama tries to pull off amnesty that way he is opening the door for a GOP president in 2016. I really think at this point he is just grandstanding...I don't see him accomplishing it, and if he does do it, it'll destroy the Dems in the next election.

Yeah, he's already gave the Dems a historic defeat, but if he does this, the Repubs will own 2016....

Obama's snooze fest press conference yesterday was littered with platitudes about average ordinary americans.

I would like for just one of his shills on here to explain how amnesty helps a single average american.

Anyone?
