Obama actions shield most illegal immigrants from deportation even as court stalls amnesty - Washington Times

President Obama’s marquee deportation amnesty has been stalled by the courts, but the rest of his executive actions on immigration, announced exactly a year ago, are moving forward — including his move protecting more than 80 percent of illegal immigrants from any danger of deportation.

The amnesty, dubbed Deferred Action for Parental Accountability was supposed to grant full tentative legal status — including work permits, Social Security numbers and driver’s licenses — to more than 4 million illegal immigrants. It has been halted by a federal appeals court, and its fate will soon rest with the Supreme Court.

But the rest of the dozen actions Mr. Obama announced on Nov. 20, 2014, are still advancing, including a far-reaching set of priorities that effectively orders agents not to bother deporting nearly all illegal immigrants
The man just can't enforce the law.
 
No conservative was happy with Bush's inaction on immigration. Don't get a delusion that we supported that poor performance under Bush. He also spent too much.

Like I said, No difference. Anyway, I was just stopping bull**** before it got started and turned into 30 pages of bashing Obama for the same thing that Reagan/Bush did. Nice try though.

Maybe you should peruse the archives, and see for yourself. Some of us spoke out on the lack of border security.
 
The word used by opponents of Obama's immigration management is inaccurate..........

Ted Cruz Won’t Rule Out Legalization for 11 Million in U.S. Illegally
Ted Cruz Won't Rule Out Legalization for Undocumented

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz declined to close the door to a potential pathway to legal status for the 11 million people in the U.S. illegally Friday, saying he wouldn’t elaborate on his plans for them until after the border is secure…………….
This sure seems to meet the definition of amnesty more so than what Obama’s doing
But Cruz “ace in the hole” is the border will never be secure as defined by RW ……….Secure means not one person ever crossing boarder ……………Real cute, eh!

Well then, first of all you went from "no" conservatives to "some" so thanks for that back peddle, secondly, the some of you with your whispering complaints were ineffective. So, like I said, there's a dimes difference in the two parties but I'm sure you'll continue to pretend that the porous border is all Obama's fault and ignore that the god of conservatism and the dolt, did the SAME ****ING THING. maybe someday Americans will grow up. And I say that, because the partisans on the left do the same bull**** that you do, you'll see them start a thread everyday and criticize a republican for doing the same thing that democrats do. That's why you partisans are part of the problem, whine and complain about it when the other party does it, ignore it when your own does. IOW, since Reagan and Bush are both guilty of doing the same thing you were going to come in here and bash Obama for, you should have just been moot on it.
 
Obama is nothing but a tyrannical a$$hole. A worthless unamerican POS who thinks he is above the law.

And what was Reagan and Bush then for doing the same thing, hmm? Bigger POS's

Whatever, the conservative I know ever praised Bush's border policy. Securing the border is a conservative principle, and Bush was horrible.

No it is not. Our nation hasn't had secure borders since its founding, conservatives give lip service to it so that you'll vote for them. But they've never pursued border security. I don't know what's wrong with people, big business isn't interested in secure borders, and BOTH parties pander to big business, so, you will never see our borders secure, wanna bet?

Obama doesn't automatically get a pass because Bush was an idiot. Bush was an idiot, Obama is an idiot. The issue is still the same. I didn't like it when Bush did it either.

Well, nevermind that not a single one of my posts gives Obama a pass for not securing our borders, that's your little straw man. News flash alert. Americas borders have never been secure, and as long as big business isn't interested in secure borders, they never will be, and both parties pander to big business. So, when you want to be constructive, and actually effect border security, stop voting for establishment politicians. ;)

Of course, anything less than ripping apart practically every hispanic family in the country won't be good enough for the xenophobic right.

Looks like you did to me. So much for that "strawman" thing you are complaining bout.

Did what to you. That post was addressed to American who was coming in here all partisan. Care to address the fact that both parties have FAILED to secure our borders, or you going to stay in the partisan corner too, hmm?

Btw, there's nothing wrong with bashing Obama for not securing our borders, because he hasn't. What disgusts me about you partisans is that you never bash everybody for failing to secure our borders.

An honest person may start a thread on border security and document every president that has pursued policies that blocked illegals from being deported and point out that our nation has NEVER had secure borders. Dishonest people play partisan games and present it as a partisan failure.

The federal government isn't going to do anything about illegal immigration. Another of the numerous reasons the federal government is too powerful. It has power to do things it shouldnt, and also the ability to ignore what it wants. The states should be able to act on their own. The only thing an individual state should not be able to do is enter into conflict with a foreign power. I think they should be able to police their own borders for illegal immigration.

True, but the real problem is that big business sets our border policy. Guess where big businesses might move to if Texas started actually securing its border.

That wasn't what I was talking about. You are moving the goal posts. You said that you "stopping bull**** before it got started and turned into 30 pages of bashing Obama." I was simply saying that Obama doesn't get a pass. He is fair game. You are diverting again.

From me:
Bush was an idiot, Obama is an idiot.

I have continuously held this belief and don't justify Bush's idiocy. Never have, never will. This is the second time this week you have made the assumption that I back Bush. That is a stupid assumption.

A lot of these illegal immigrants aren't going to work. Many of them are not doing a damn thing. Did you read recently that a lot of the Mexicans who were here working actually are going back to Mexico? Because theyve been laid off here, our economy stinks.

The right would settle for simply securing the border and not allowing anybody else to come in illegally. Problem is, their party won't do it. It's like the abortion issue, wingers will vote for a candidate because he/she is pro life, nevermind that no republican president ever has or ever will stop abortion.

Our borders have been porous our countries entire existence, and not a single president has ever secured it, do you know why that is?
