| DENVER — Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney says he would honor temporary work permits for young illegal immigrants who were allowed to stay in the U.S. because of an executive order signed this summer by President Barack Obama. Romney told The Denver Post, in an interview appearing in Tuesday's edition, that people who are able to earn the two-year visas to stay and work wouldn't see them revoked under a Romney administration. "The people who have received the special visa that the president has put in place, which is a two-year visa,

Comments: You have to wonder about the accuracy of this information since it is APee. Of course nothing is mentioned about the unconstitutional aspect of this executive order. Link to Denver Post article:

Mitt, the president doesn't set immigration policy, the congress does. Nothing wrong with rescinding an illegal act.

I just love to hear the Pander Bear sing the Cheap Suit Serenade. Reason 105 why Romney is not up 20 points.

Well now that Obama has already given them the illegal visa's it wouldn't be right for Romney to take them away. Hey AP, What about Romney issuing new ones? Oh you didn't ask the real question did you?

The executive order can be rescinded. Those who have already received work permits (and these are just two year visas) will not lose them until the end of the two years. Then?

Those illegals already will have their two year work permits by the time Romney would be elected, and the time would be clicking down on them. It would just cause more chaos if Romney were to reverse Obama giving out those work permits. What Romney will do if elected is to propose what amounts to a congressionally passed amnesty for those young illegal aliens that allows them to stay here temporarily, in increments of time, until they find a legal way to become permanent resident aliens in their own right, and would not support any permanent general amnesty for them that would end up with them being duel-nationals, that is keeping their home country citizenship while also granting them US citizenship and US voting rights.
That is very important, because there are realistically 20 million illegal aliens here now who Obama would grant a permanent amnesty, putting them all on a path to US citizenship and US voting rights. If that were to happen, the liberal Democrats would eventually end up with tens of millions of new voters, as most illegal aliens are poor low wage earners, are generally uneducated people, who once legalized would use all forms of government assistance that the liberal Democrats would make available to them in return for their votes.
Also once they were given US citizenship status by an Obama Liberal Democrat amnesty, those million of aliens could freely bring another ten to twenty million of their foreign relatives, including their elderly parents, into the USA. Once all that occurred the Republicans would never be able to have enough votes to elect another US President.

On the illegal Alien issue, once Romney's in office I suggest he follow in the steps of Eisenhower in solving the problem. Worked then, it will work now.

A wise move by Romney.
Because we know who they are now, and we can keep an eye on them, and their tapping the public dole.
It's a PERMIT. You can rescind a PERMIT.

Importantly Romney never said that he would extend those Obama work permits beyond the two year period if the Congress does not pass an exception to the current immigration laws to benefit the illegal aliens who have been granted Obama work permits.

A lot of Democrats and Republicans in the Congress want to legalize a lot of those illegal aliens who were brought here as children.
The difference is the Democrats what to put them on a "path to citizenship" which is Democrat code for eventually granting them US voting rights; and the Republicans want to give them a temporary immigration status without a "path to citizenship" and US voting rights, that gives them a chance to qualify for permanent residence in their own right as every legal immigrant must now do, or eventually go back to their home country.
The reason for that is the vast majority of illegal aliens, when legalized, have become liberal Democrat voters in the past. The Republicans can no longer allow such liberal Democrat written general amnesties to pass or they would be committing long-term political suicide, by facilitating millions of new foreign born voters for the liberal Democrats, who in their vast numbers, would change the political balance of the US electorate.

The Senate voted down an amendment to the upper chamber´s immigration bill proposed by Sen. David Vitter (R-LA) that would require a full biometric visa tracking system placed at every land, sea, and air port of entry in the United States before legalized immigrants could receive green cards. The measure, which was also called for by the 9/11 Commission in the wake of the 2001 terrorist attacks, would establish a biometric exit-entry system.

The immigration reform bill drawn up by the Senate Gang of 8 would boost the economy and lower the deficit, the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office says in a report out today. The newly released, and highly anticipated, report from the government’s nonpartisan bookkeeper comes as the Senate debates the bipartisan immigration legislation offered by the Gang of 8 and the House moves forward on a more piecemeal approach.

NEW YORK — The New York Police Department´s widespread spying programs directed at Muslims have undermined free worship by innocent people and should be declared unconstitutional, religious leaders and civil rights advocates said Tuesday after the filing of a federal lawsuit. "Our mosque should be an open, religious and spiritual sanctuary, but NYPD spying has turned it into a place of suspicion and censorship," Hamid Hassan Raza, an imam named as a plaintiff, told a rally outside police headquarters shortly after the suit was filed in federal court in Brooklyn.

While the controversy over the National Security Agency surveillance program has dominated the news recently, concern about the Internal Revenue Service’s targeting of Tea Party groups and other conservative organizations remains high and is inching up. Despite the large number of controversies engulfing official Washington, the number of people following the IRS scandal has actually increased in recent weeks. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 82% of voters nationwide are now following the IRS targeting story, including 44% who are following the story

Mixed-race people are more likely to be considered black by conservatives, who are subconsciously attempting to “justify racial divisions,” said the authors of a new government-funded study. The report, originally released earlier this month, has begun attracting criticism from those who see political bias in the results. The study was conducted by graduate students and faculty in the psychology department of New York University. Researchers asked participants to look at pictures of mixed-race people and say whether they

The Clintons are getting the old band back together again for one last geriatric tour. Hillary 2016. Because 22 years of Clintons dominating the Beltway isn’t enough. Her campaign slogan: “Vote for me. I am a woman. What difference does it make?” The Draft Hillary movement is really taking off. There hasn’t been this much excitement behind a Draft Hillary movement since, well, the last time there was a Draft Hillary movement. Remember that? Back in 2008? When she was the “inevitable nominee?” She was the “most electable” Democrat running? She was the only one who

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

On ABC´s The View Monday, co-host Barbara Walters astonishingly defended Maher saying, "I don´t think he intended it to be mean-spirited" (video follows with transcript and commentary): WHOOPI GOLDBERG: At a recent standup show in Las Vegas, comedian Bill Maher apparently called Sarah Palin’s five-year-old developmentally-challenged son Trig retarded.

Five months into his second term, allies and enemies are as confounded as ever about who President Obama really is. Is he the dyed-in-the-wool liberal that his biggest supporters and critics suggest? Or is he a pragmatic, even cynical, politician who cares more for his popularity than taking risks for his ideological goals or living up to his rhetoric? Even in the short period since his reelection, Obama has provided evidence to support conflicting interpretations. His efforts to pass immigration reform, the unsuccessful push for stricter gun controls and tax hikes on high earners buttress the case for Obama-as-ideologue.

During his interview with ABC’s Jonathan Karl this morning, Rubio didn’t even seem to understand what that meant. “Are you being played by the Democrats?” asked Karl. “Is Chuck Schumer playing you?” “I don’t — I quite frankly, I don’t even know what that means,” Rubio replied. “Is he using you?” Karl continued. “Is he using you to try to accomplish something that the Democrats want and is not — not a conservative bill?” Rubio responded that immigration reform was a bi-partisan issue that “all Americans

Charlie Rose last night asked President Obama his new Syria policy. The president first objected to it being called a new policy. "I´m not sure you can characterize this as a new policy. This is consistent with the policy that I´ve had throughout," he said. Obama then explained the goal is regional stability, and especially in Syria. "Really, what we´re trying to do is take sides against extremists of all sorts and in favor of people who are in favor of moderation, tolerance, representative government, and over the long-term, stability and prosperity for the people of Syria," said Obama.

Marco Rubio. Paul Ryan. The IRS. Illegal immigration. And fraud to the tune of billions.. Now there’s a combustible mix. Let’s start with the IRS, illegal immigration and fraud. We’ll come back in a minute to Senator Rubio and Congressman Ryan. For those who came in late, a year before the IRS scandals burst onto the scene in early May of 2013, an alert investigative reporter for WTHR-Indianapolis (Channel 13), Bob Segall by name, produced a stunning piece of journalism. Segall’s video report is found here and we will quote from his story for the basics.
