| Immigration is in the news, and legislation is being proposed that relies on the Obama administration to execute, in good faith, the nation’s laws. But the Obama administration doesn’t do that. Instead, the administration arrogantly ignores laws it doesn’t like, in violation of Barack Obama’s constitutional duty to “take care that the laws be faithfully executed.” This is most notoriously the case with respect to immigration and welfare. We have written about this on several occasions; Jeff Sessions, ranking member on the Senate Budget Committee, sums up the administration’s sorry history in a press release

I think it´s important to be able to prove you can support yourself and that´s how it used to be. I did not have a sponsor when I applied to the U.S.A. for a work visa in 1954--I was young (22) and had no doubt I could get a job but (embarassingly) I had to go to my banker and entreat him to write to the American authorities to vouch for me on the basis of a set of sterling silver flatware that I owned! Can you imagine such a thing today?!!!

Simply a lawless, renegade regime. Valerie Jarrett wasn´t kidding when she used the word ´´rule´´ rather than ´´govern.´´

What does Obama care there is no one who will stand up to him. He is the consumate liar, liar in chief of this administration.
If he lies every time his mouth is open what other lies has he told in the past. Can anyone say birth certificate!

Maybe it´s just time to do away with the stupid pretense of the oath of office.Obama has taken the oath 4 times now and has become more anti-constitution with each passing day. Here we are revving up gun laws on people minding their own business while the criminal element in this country has never had it so good. That goes from wall st crooks down the street hustling thugs,there´s no room in jail for anymore.
A lot of big famous companies were founded and built by conservative people but because of sellouts and mergers,the formally successful companies are now being ran by Ivy League grads who don´t understand the first thing about business except if they´re slick enough,there´s a nice year end bonus for them.
Even the ones who want to play by the rules are being forced by Obama regulation thugs and trail lawyers into doing the wrong things,such as making bad home loans,which are back again.
Everytime one of these loans fail there´s a hedge fund crook or derivative schemer that cashes in The home buyers are dupes intended to enrich crooked liberals down the line.
But anyway,now Obama is enticing more illegal immigration with the lure of free healthcare on top of food stamps and the rest.
Obama has the gall to claim the border is already secure,even though their own figures show 30% of border bangers are making it through.They´re trying to get in here before amnesty is imposed and they won´t have to worry about being deported.
All they have to do is make it a felony to break in here and that would disqualify them from many gov´t benefits and be thrown in jail instead.

With a totally corrupt DOJ and Press under his thumb Obama can do whatever he pleases. Unless the GOP members of the House and Senate are willing to take him on he will remain an out of control monster. D.C. Democrats must be scared witless of him.

That is exactly the point Rush made following his Rubio interview. The pResident is lawless so any plan will not work while Obama is in office. Rubio made the point that Obama won´t always be in office several times during the interview. Although Rush was very skeptical about the plan what he likes about Rubio is his passion and his ability to express his ideas clearly. He is also young and the GOP definitely needs new, young blood to carry on in the future.

This foreign resident of the WH is unqualified for holding the most important office in our land. He is a fraud, an enemy, and a usurper who is dismantling our America as the legislative and judicial branches look on, as if they´re powerless, indifferent, or complicit. How did we get to this stage?
This skinny, Kenyan, choom-smoker, is like an unruly, undisciplined child left to throw temper tantrums and wreak havoc in someone else´s home without consequence.
Oh, how I dream that the truth about him being revealed and seeing that smug look on his face wiped away as he´s prosecuted for his crimes against America.

History bears out that there is always a point in time when an evil agenda could be stopped. It is discussed, books and articles are written about it asking why the people did not see it coming in order to prevent it from happening. We analyze it because we don´t ever want it to happen in the future. However, I fear we have passed the point in time when this Obamination could be stopped. There has been opportunity after opportunity to stop this but it seems to keep barreling on. Each time I think it can´t get worse, it does. I believe it is going to take divine intervention to stop Obama because my confidence in the elected officials in Washington DC is gone.

I think many can see the Great American Experiment slipping away. What was borne of Europe is returning to its roots. The discrediting of the founders and the Constitution is a major part of today´s curriculum. Young people have no clue. What is being lost is the Horatio Alger version of the American Dream as well as the notion of E pluribus unum. In it´s place a strange Balkanization based on race and sense of entitlement.
Benjamin Franklin said it best... “Well, Doctor, what have we got, a Republic or a Monarchy?”
“A Republic, if you can keep it.”
We will know in the near future.

# 5 Other than making speeches railing against his policies and lax or non enforcement of federal laws, Republicans don´t have many options. Everything the decreased Republican majority in the House passes , like budgets that cut spending- Reid ignores. The Democrats 10 seat majority in the Senate is an incredible protection and shield for Obama. Plus, the national media continues to protect him and cover up his lawless behavior. The 2014 midterm elections in 21 months should scare us all. Obama only needs to flip 17 more seats in the House to retake control of that body. If he then totally controls Congress, the presidency and the media , it will be like his first two years -only on steroids.

This is precisely why I cannot stand Marco Rubio. He is neither stupid nor naive, but apparently thinks all the rest of us are.
Rubio insists that amnesty will be conditioned upon first securing the border. But we all know Obama has a history, outlined in this article, of ignoring and refusing to enforce the laws he doesn´t like. Rubio knows very well, just like we do, that the Obama administration will just declare the border secure (oh, right, they already did that), ignore any such condition, and proceed directly to handing out amnesty cards.
The only way immigration can be responsibly addressed is to secure the border first, now, with no strings and no related legislation. There should not even be a discussion of amnesty until the border is as close as possible to 100% locked down. Then, in a couple years after the construction has been completed, we can begin to discuss what to do with all the illegals that are here.
Rubio must think Republicans and conservatives are the stupidest, most gullible beings on the face of the planet. I trust him about as far as I can throw 100 miles of border fence.

Any new immigration reform will work just like it does now, fence or not. The law abiding will wait years to enter and will not have a chance at a job when/if they do because there will be no jobs. The ones who break the law will work underground or join drug and prostitution enterprises, just like they do now. The only way to ever get control is to round up and sentence all illegals to 1-2 years hard labor (not prison) and then deport them. Then make them eligible to go to the end of the line and re-apply the legal way. I don´t care how many children they have, the children can go with them. Their friends in Mexico will get the message. Then tell the Mexican government that we will cut off all aid and ban US tourism to Mexico until they start to control border crossing from their side.
Tell me one other country that is as generous with its taxpayer´s financial support of immigrants outside of the euroweenie nations.

There’s a huge red flag in the Benghazi mess, but conservatives are letting the media get away with using a red herring to avoid it. Give the establishment media credit for obstinacy: Once it settles on a standard narrative or explanation for a particular subject, it shows remarkable discipline in explaining away any evidence that contradicts its own approved spin. So it has been with the media’s 250-day old determination to downplay the scandalous nature of the Obama administration’s treatment of its outpost in Benghazi before, during, and after the terrorist attack there that took four American lives.

Lawmakers across the country are tussling over the Obama administration´s plans to create a small army of assistants to guide millions of Americans as they sign up for new health-insurance options available this fall. Backers of the health-care overhaul face an uphill battle to spread the word about the law, in the face of consumer research that suggests most uninsured people know little about it and are skeptical about the value of health insurance generally. Some Democrats have openly worried that the administration is doing too little to make sure the enrollment process goes smoothly. That is where the "patient navigators"

Labor unions are breaking with President Obama on ObamaCare. Months after the president’s reelection, a variety of unions are publicly balking at how the administration plans to implement the landmark law. They warn that unless there are changes, the results could be catastrophic. The United Food and Commercial Workers International Union (UFCW) — a 1.3 million-member labor group that twice endorsed Obama for president — is very worried about how the reform law will affect its members’ healthcare plans. Last month, the president of the United Union of Roofers, Waterproofers and Allied Workers released a statement calling “for repeal

Since Hillary Clinton last came up to Capitol Hill, we’ve learned senior State Department officials sought to scrub references to terrorism from the infamous Benghazi talking points to insulate Foggy Bottom from political criticism — citing concerns of their “building’s leadership” to justify the demands. The rising temperature of the scandal means it’s possible that Hillary could be asked to return and testify again. If she comes back, she had better be prepared, says House Oversight and Government Reform chairman Darrell Issa. “We are interviewing lots of people, most of them under oath,” Issa says, describing the “methodical” approach his committee

We hear a lot, these days, about how President Obama is not like Lyndon Johnson and thanks be to heaven for that small mercy. The point seems to be that the president doesn´t know how to arm twist, sweet talk, bribe, and emasculate both friend and enemy (of which he truly had neither) in order to further his agenda. Since many among the chattering class believe, still, in that agenda, his is generally regarded as an excellent presidency. Never mind that more than half a century after Johnson declared war on poverty ...

More whistleblowers will emerge shortly in the escalating Benghazi scandal, according to two former U.S. diplomats who spoke with PJ Media Monday afternoon. These whistleblowers, colleagues of the former diplomats, are currently securing legal counsel because they work in areas not fully protected by the Whistleblower law. According to the diplomats, what these whistleblowers will say will be at least as explosive as what we have already learned about the scandal, including details about what really transpired in Benghazi that are potentially devastating to both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

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
