| The Obama administration has developed its own proposals for immigration reform that are more liberal than a separate bipartisan effort in the Senate, including a quicker path to citizenship for illegal immigrants, people with knowledge of the proposals said. President Obama is expected to provide some details of the White House plans during a Tuesday appearance in Las Vegas, where he will call for sweeping changes to the nation’s immigration laws. The speech kicks off a public push by the administration in support of the broadest overhaul of immigration law in nearly three decades.

Obama sees the prospect of 20 million new Democrat voters if he and the liberal Democrats can again dupe the stupid party to give them the required political cover by going along to get along with a liberal Democrat "path to citizenship" that is Democrat code for granting the legalized aliens eventual US voting rights. The Democrats would not be doing that if they thought that more then a small percentage of those people would ever have an epifinany and vote Republican. And that is only the first round, as through the chain migration provisions in the immigration laws those legalized aliens could easily double their population numbers by bringing in their foreign relatives who will also eventually be Democrat voters for the most part.
The stupid party is in deep trouble, for the last four decades they helped the liberal Democrats sabotage immigration law enforcement efforts so that their business constituents could have an unlimited supply of cheap foreign labor. Now all those millions of illegal aliens are posed to eventually gain US voting rights with which they will be able to send the wimpy Republicans into a headlong slide to political oblivion.
Get ready for a one party socialist government running the USA from now on folks!

Don´t let this man fool you. This is kabuki. Barry is just giving Rubio´s RINOs some cover. It´s a done deal unless the House gets a clue. Not likely with the red-faced coelenterate running the show over there. All in all, I´d say it´s time to turn out the lights, cause Teh Stoopid Party is OVER...

Obama prefers to keep the issue as a hot button. He will torpedo Rubio´s bi-partisan deal by proposing some outlandish deal... like immediate legal status to all & no requirements to do squat. He´ll be glad to discuss closing the borders at a later date.

All Obama really wants is to make this into another opportunity to impugn Republicans and cast them as the enemy of Hispanics. Conclusion: he cares more about himself and his ´winning´ than the country.

Would The Won countenance the Republicans getting ANY credit for immigration reform? No. He has to object to something so that he comes out the champion of the immigrants.
The other day I read an article that said that Susan Rice did not get appointed National Security Adviser because she "denied" The Won the fight he was spoiling for over her nomination as Secretary of State.
More and more we can see that this is his central strategy. Make everything into a fight. And then frame it as the intransigent, obstructionist Republicans´ fault.

This is exactly why we need the Tea Party Republicans who will stake out a more conservative position on immigration so the compromise position is more what the Senate has proposed rather than somewhere between McCain/Rubio and the President.
Personally, as long as they close AND enforce the border, I don´t mind McCain´s position at all. I read somewhere yesterday McCain´s bill doesn´t have any enforcement for the border...just more hot air from the Senate´s Leading Compromiser.

Produce your plan, then Zippy. I guarantee there is no plan. Nothing in writing. No draft bill. Nothing but "my plan is better than their plan." Where is his Congressional sponsor for drafting a bill for his "plan." Repubs should give him 8 hours to produce "his plan," which exists only in his mind. This is just another grandstand. Drafting bills is Congress´ responsibility; not the Executive.

Never passes up a chance to divide. He will, of course, give HIS plan that he knows will never pass. He will give away the farm, providing no border security pandering in every way to anti American Hispanics. Then point to Republicans as to the obstruction to giving away the security of the country. And that´s the whole reason for his trip to Vegas.
The ignorant, the gullible, the media, academia, and entertainment will applaud. And the never-ending campaign will continue as will the slide into socialism.

They´re scared of Rubio. Now we´re talking. The Democrats will careen to the extreme left to keep Rubio from owning this issue that Obama made many promises about but failed to act on. Turn up the heat fellas.

Liberals used to love to quote the (apparently apocryphal) line from a Sinclair Lewis character “When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and waving a cross.” Wonder if they’re reflecting on that this week? We knew that early in the first term, the White House attempted to exclude a news agency from pool reports. Now come revelations that the Justice Department engaged in sweeping eavesdropping on AP journalists; that the IRS targeted conservative private citizens while favoring liberal ones; that the EPA charged fees to conservatives groups while waiving them for “green” activists;

MOORE, Okla. — Spotlights bore down on massive piles of shredded cinder block, insulation and metal as crews worked through the night lifting bricks and parts of collapsed walls where a monstrous tornado barreled through the Oklahoma City suburbs, demolishing an elementary school and reducing homes to piles of splintered wood. At least 51 people were killed, including at least 20 children, and those numbers were expected to climb, officials said Tuesday. The storm stripped leaves off trees and left scores of blocks in Moore barren and dark. Rescuers walked through neighborhoods where Monday´s powerful twister flattened home after home

Steve wrote this morning about a hearing being held this week by the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, in which Apple’s CEO, Tim Cook, will testify tomorrow. The subcommittee apparently is trying to highlight supposed tax avoidance on the part of American companies, as the Associated Press reports: Apple Inc. employs a group of affiliate companies located outside the United States to avoid paying billions of dollars in U.S. income taxes, a Senate investigation has found. The world’s most valuable company is holding overseas some $102 billion of its $145 billion in cash, and an Irish

Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) asked Attorney General Eric Holder to investigate election integrity org True the Vote and its associated Tea Party group, King Street Patriots, immediately before the IRS and DOJ began targeting the group in June 2010. Rep. Jackson Lee sent a letter to Holder which alleged that True the Vote was intimidating voters and their election monitors were crossing the line in unspecified “instances” of voter intimidation. The letter went on to directly assert that the “alleged events” were factual and that the True the Vote effort was behind the crimes

Gunmaker Smith & Wesson tops the list of best businesses in bright blue Massachusetts — after not making the list at all last year — a new report in the Boston Globe found. The 161-year-old company, based in a state with some of the stricter gun control laws in the nation, tried to diversify its holdings by acquiring a security company in recent years, only to do an “about-face” by focusing on its product line, the newspaper said in its explanation of the Springfield firm’s top spot. “We went back to what we do best, which is handguns,”

Journalists, First Amendment watchdogs and government transparency advocates reacted with outrage Monday to the revelation that the Justice Department had investigated the newsgathering activities of a Fox News reporter as a potential crime in a probe of classified leaks. Critics said the government’s suggestion that James Rosen, Fox News’s chief Washington correspondent, was a “co-conspirator” for soliciting classified information threatened to criminalize press freedoms protected by the First Amendment. Others also suggested that the Justice Department’s claim in pursuing an alleged leak

Perhaps no other IRS official is more intimately associated with the tax agency´s growing scandal than Lois Lerner, director of the IRS’s Exempt Organizations Division. Since admitting the IRS harassed hundreds of conservative and Tea Party groups for over two years, Lerner has been criticized for a number of untruths—including the revelation that she apparently lied about planting a question at an American Bar Association conference where she first publicly acknowledged IRS misconduct. Still, Lerner has her defenders in the government and the media. Shortly after the scandal broke, The Daily Beast published an article headlined "IRS Scandal’s Central

What did President Obama do on the evening of 9/11/12 when our men were under attack in Benghazi? The invaluable Andrew McCarthy reminds us that Obama and Secretary Clinton had a 10:00 p.m. phone call of which many (including, I think, Chris Wallace) have lost sight. This morning when Wallace asked Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer what Obama was up to that evening, Pfeiffer declared the line of inquiry “offensive.” Translation: Obama and his minions would prefer to “move on” and are warning the likes of FNC off:(Snip for video)The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper has posted the rush transcript

WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Serviced scandal today spread further within the White House and closer to President Obama. White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

The Washington Post on Monday reported that Obama’s Department of Justice was investigating journalists before they started wiretapping the Associated Press – for one, Fox News correspondent James Rosen in 2010. Their headline wasn´t "Obama Team Also Spied on Fox News." Fox wasn´t in the headline, on A-1 or on A-12, where the story continued. Newly obtained court documents “reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist — and raise the question of how often journalists have been investigated as closely as Rosen was in 2010.” Reporter Ann Marimow began:

A senior adviser to President Obama mounted a combative defense of the administration on Sunday, saying the controversies enveloping the White House were the result of Republican lawmakers’ trying to “drag Washington into a swamp of partisan fishing expeditions, trumped-up hearings and false allegations.”The remarks came from Dan Pfeiffer, a member of the president’s inner circle, as he appeared on all five major Sunday morning talk shows in an effort to move the administration past what commentators have described as a “hell week” of controversy and missteps.

Stuart Varney said this morning on "Varney & Co." that one of his producers was given a questionnaire with some surprisingly intrusive questions on it when he switched doctors. One of the questions was whether he/she was concerned about unsecured weapons in the home. Another asked whether he/she was "in a relationship in which you have been physically hurt or are you afraid of your partner?" Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare. Varney expressed amazement
