Well......why didn't the Dems get something passed when they had control of the House/Senate and White House? For a while they had a veto proof majority. Why didn't they get something done? Cause there are many Dems that struggle with what the liberal arm of the Dem party wanted to do.

It's not as easy as one makes it out to believe. States still have a limited say so....albeit smaller with this King.

Why?

800,000 job losses a month, 9% contraction and the US losing $20 trillion of wealth was one priority.

2 open wars were another.

Capturing the 911 mastermind was another.

And the ACA were all more important.

Lets look forward to 2016

Here's a tweet from Jorge Ramos, a very influential Latino journalist at Univision:

The Texas decision clearly defines who is against immigrants in the U.S.  Latino voters will remember; 2016 is not that far away.

Latino Decisions found that fully 89 percent of Latino voters supported the measures. The poll also tested how helpful supporting the policies would be for the candidacy of Hillary Clinton. It found that 85 percent of Latino voters were likely to vote for Clinton if she committed to renewing Obama's policies in 2017, and that support extended across party lines among Latino voters.
Of the 85 percent who said they would likely vote for Clinton if she renewed the measures, 73 percent were independent voters. Even a majority of Republican voters—56 percent—said Clinton's support for executive action was likely to get their vote.
Clinton, by the way, has announced her support for the policies, calling them "an historic step."
In the wake of today's ruling, America's Voice executive director Frank Sharry noted the political turning point for Republicans, who are now seeking to undo Obama's incredibly popular actions both in the states and in Congress.

"For many years, Americans and public officials across the country have taken steps on their own to integrate and accommodate immigrants who are part of the community. They did so because our politicians in Washington refused to act. Now many of these same politicians in 26 states have decided to undo the very work of their own communities. And there will be a terrible price to pay for their crass political maneuvering."

Bush barely won 2 elections with 40% of the vote.

Obama won 2 blowouts with 70%

When Hillary takes 80% with 20% of the GOP women vote, get ready to say Madam President.

Maybe the decision is based on law and not a dislike for immigrants?

What law?

Congress refusing to fund the deportation of 12 million?

They fund for less than 500K, Obama makes that mark.

What he is doing is prioritizing and identifying who is here.

Let me ask you, you have 5 border cops and a call for 25 illegals in the area and you know who they are. Do you go after the 5 felons or the ones picking fruit?

If you do not like what Obama is doing, what is the alternative?

I don't know what the problem was with our immigration law.  Obama keeps saying it's broken.  It hasn't been being enforced. 

It has not been enforced since Ike.

After 911 the borders were left wide open.

Obama gets in and all of the sudden its a problem, like deficits no one cared under Bush but all of the sudden they cared now.

Little segway to Gay Marriage, why are conservatives not protesting the court that is about to affirm gay marriage as the law of the land? Why? Its a GOP court and while the GOP is in charge there is no rage by the conservative BS voter.

They only engage when a Democrat is in charge of something.

It's about damn time someone stood up to this unlawful, POS bully.  Worst thing that has happened to America (besides TV dinners  ).

How has this demon stayed in office this long?

Pat

I just want to say...

In the most adult and professional way I can...

Ha, Ha, Ha...

Nyeah, Nyeah, Nyeah...

Phhttt!

Once again....King Obama is praised for his almightiness..........because he blames Bush for everything. LOL!!

Immigration is a political issue........it's handled by politicians......it'll be spun by whomever is in office....or who has the best spunner.

By the way Wolfie, it happens to every president; Clinton blamed everything he did wrong or happened to on Bush (43)....he did it after he left office. LOL!!  Plus he blamed the prior Bush. It's the Dems SOP....blame the past.

When does King Obama take responsibility for something? Obamacare? Nope, he'll blame it on the repubs in congress for not passing his plan...instead they passed the Dems plan.

Let see.......King Obama has been in office for 6 years and his cronies still blame Bush?  It's old, but the koolaid drinkers will not get tired of it.

Ok-

A big problem we have is voters blaming things on previous presidents, to support their guy, and allowing politicians to not take responsibility.  If I apply/interview and am hired for a job I take ownership of the situation.  Things could be turned around.

Border guards have been told not to make arrests.  Now they are being told to let drunk drivers go.

For the sake of the republic, be a little more critical of elected officials.  Even if it's your guy. 

I am neither a democrat or republican apologist.

OK

I support mass deportation and the funding to do it. Not providing the tools to the Executive places the blame on Congress.

I also support GOP run border states to start using E Verify and wonder why they do not use it.

I also wonder why Texas gives free college to illegals instead of real Americans.

Obama is not going to require/enforce existing law and mass deportation

Texas does not give free tuition to illegals. They offer the Texas resident tuition cost instead of the out of state cost, as long as the student signs a paper saying they are in the process of becoming a citizen and they prove they have lived in Texas for 3 years.

Are those residents illegals?

It doesn't matter if Obama has the right idea, or his heart is in the right place or if you agree with him.

What matters is that it's up to congress to do these things. A president cannot make his own laws. A president cannot violate a written law and give work permits to people who are prohibited by law to obtain one. Obama has also rented an office building and hired 1,000 workers to handle the paperwork for these permits, illegally transering funds from the DHS budget without congressional approval.

And to top that, Obama said today that he will defy the judges order and continue making preparations to put his amnesty plan in place.

The man has no respect for the American constitution. No respect for the law. No respect for the judicial system that has ordered him to stop.

That should scare all Americans.
