Ryan: Obama Immigration
Proposal ‘Counterproductive,’
‘Wrong Direction’

National Review Online, by Patrick Brennan

Original Article

Posted By:Dreadnought, 2/17/2013 11:38:04 AM

This morning, Representative Paul Ryan had no kind words for the president’s proposed immigration legislation and the White House’s decision to leak it yesterday. He explained that “leaking this out sets things in the wrong direction,” “makes [immigration reform] that much more difficult.” The congressman laid out his criticism in blunt terms, saying that the question from the beginning on this immigration debate has been, “Is the president looking for partisan advantage, or a bipartisan law?” The White House’s release of its own plan at this time

Yea, Obama´s plan gives preferential treatment to those who snuck in or overstayed visas, over those who played by the lawful immigration rules. Real smart, smart guy. Whatta never ending nightmare this character is!? In a word, a demagogue... Big time.

The liberal Democrats want their "path to citizenship" amnesty to apply to just about all illegal aliens, even illegal aliens who arrived yesterday. If such an amnesty were passed it would take years for the immigration service authorities to document and process 11 to 20 million illegal aliens.

When that was happening millions of new illegal aliens would be arriving and would fraudulently claim that they were here when the amnesty was passed and are thus eligible for a "path to citizenship". Such an open ended amnesty would breed mass fraud, that the liberal Democrats would ignore by "streamlining" the amnesty processing, for all intents and purposes, to the point where just about all applications would be approved.

During that process you can also bet that the liberal Democrats will put in provisions that include a very liberal advance voter registration procedure whereby the legalized aliens can vote when that time comes.

You can´t trust that liberal Democrats on this issue, just as happened back in 1986, any amnesty that they pass will give the millions of illegal aliens here now an immigration status that cannot be revoked, while promising all sorts of new enforcement protocols that will not be scheduled for implementation for years, that they will then fight to sabotage and water down in Congress, in the courts, and administratively. the Republicans would have to be suckers to go along to get along with the liberal Democrats on such a bogus amnesty.

Any immigration bill the Democrats would approve of would be so lenient it might as well be called the Bankrupt the Border States Act.

Republicans´ once seemingly nightmare visions of waves of immigrants pouring across our borders and descending en masse on hospitals, emergency rooms, and other social services, causing wide-scale destruction, have become a reality.

A few more years of this and the entire State of California will begin to look like a bad night in Tiajuana, yet Obama and the Democrats in Washington can´t wait to make this dire situation even worse.

That ego of his tells him to get front and center of anything that the Republicans try to do. The pitiful taker does not have any ideas of his own that he has to steal the limelight of the doers!

All of Obama´s proposals are counterproductive and wrong directed.


Reply 7 - Posted by: bighambone, 2/17/2013 6:11:14 PM     (No. 9182028)

Bottom line, this issue has turned into a political football.

The liberal TV talking head Mark Shields is charging that the Republicans are committing political suicide by fighting a liberal Democrat amnesty for 11-20 million illegal aliens. If that were true why would a liberal like Shields care, and why would he be alerting the Republicans of their demise if they fail to to along to get along with the liberal Democrats on amnesty?

Of course Shield´s charge is bogus, as what would send the Republicans onto political oblivion was them going along with any liberal Democrat "path to citizenship" amnesty that eventually hands the liberal Democrats 10 million new foreign born voters.

Petraeus’s role in drafting Benghazi
talking points raises questions
Washington Post, by Scott Wilson and Karen DeYoung    Original Article

The controversy over the Obama administration’s response to the Benghazi attack last year began at a meeting over coffee on Capitol Hill three days after the assault. It was at this informal session with the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence that the ranking Democrat asked David H. Petraeus, who was CIA director at the time, to ensure that committee members did not inadvertently disclose classified information when talking to the news media about the attack. “We had some new members on the committee, and we knew the press would be very aggressive on this, so we didn’t want

It is never good for an administration when a front-page newspaper article about an ongoing controversy begins as follows: “The White House offered a new account Monday of how and when it learned .?.?. ” That’s what readers of The Post awoke to on Tuesday. In trying to contain the controversy and protect President Obama, White House officials have only added to questions about what happened. Until this week, the story of how White House officials learned that the Internal Revenue Service was targeting conservative groups was fairly straightforward. White House counsel Kathryn Ruemmler was notified in late April

There are various reasons you might not care about the Obama administration’s spying on journalist James Rosen and labeling him a “co-conspirator and/or aider and abettor” in an espionage case. Liberals may not be particularly bothered because the targeted journalist works for Fox News. Conservatives may not be concerned because of their antipathy toward the news media generally. And the general public certainly doesn’t have much patience for journalists’ whining. But here’s why you should care — and why this case, along with the administration’s broad snooping into Associated Press phone records, is more serious than the other supposed

White House meltdown: A truth deficit

There seems to be bipartisan consensus that whatever the White House is doing to fend off scandal is making things worse. Howard Fineman sounds a lot like Right Turn these days: “White House aides are tempting fate with their reluctant, piecemeal and contradictory disclosures of what they knew and when they knew it, especially about a report on the Internal Revenue Service’s 18-month effort to target tea party and other conservative groups for special scrutiny.” The constantly shifting stories from Jay Carney and the IRS dissembling and pleas of ignorance only heighten concern that there has been serious wrongdoing.

   

 



 
A Crack in the IRS Dam

The dam protecting the IRS scandal began to crack today when Lois Lerner, the IRS official who announced, and apologized for, the improper singling out of conservative-leaning organizations by IRS employees under her command, announced through her criminal defense lawyer that she will not testify as scheduled tomorrow before the House Oversight Committee. Rather, she will assert her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. This marks an enormous milestone in the IRS investigation. It can now be taken as more or less established that crimes were committed by Obama administration employees. Lerner’s lawyer tried to minimize the significance

‘Rosen’s in the Wind!’

John Podhoretz has a good column today on the Obama administration’s travails. I did not know this bit until I read the column: Even more startling, the search warrant makes clear that the FBI already had everything it needed on the leaker, as the request for a search warrant features quotes from an interview that were tantamount to a confession. It asked that the warrant be sealed — in other words, that Rosen not be told — because knowledge might “cause subjects to flee”! Imagine it: Rosen, an on-air reporter

There’s really no reason for the press to suggest that the recent slew of scandals involving the Obama administration — Benghazi, the AP phone-record seizure, the snooping in James Rosen’s e-mail, the IRS’s targeting of conservative groups, and so on — are a confusing jumble. There is a very clear thread running through all of the administration’s actions: The U.S. deputy chief of mission in Libya, Gregory Hicks, says that he was told not to speak to a member of Congress about Benghazi without a State Department lawyer present, that he received a phone call from Hillary Clinton’s

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.

Former Rep. Anthony Weiner, whose career in public life came to an abrupt end when he sent lewd pictures to a college student on Twitter, jumped back into politics on Wednesday by announcing a bid for mayor of New York City. “Look, I’ve made some big mistakes and I know I’ve let a lot of people down,” the Democrat said in a 2-minute video announcing his bid. “But I’ve also learned some tough lessons. I’m running for mayor because I’ve been fighting for the middle class and those struggling to make it for my entire life.

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

Former Democratic National committee chairman Howard Dean considers the controversy over Benghazi a “joke” and “silly.” “Benghazi is a laughable joke,” Dean proclaimed twice in a discussion with Republican National Committee communications chairman Sean Spicer last week. “With all due respect, governor, when four Americans die serving this country, that’s not a joke, sir,” Spicer responded. “Oh, stop it,” said Dean. The former Democratic presidential candidate also said that there were “no serious questions being asked about Benghazi” and brushed it off as an effort by Republicans to score political points.
