Imperial President Obama Grants Amnesty by Diktat.

Tonight the Dictator-in-Chief declared that he will sign an executive order to grant amnesty to 5 million illegal immigrants.

In his speech tonight he went out of his way to say that his actions were NOT amnesty. If you believe that then you probably believed that 'if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor'.

This Obama drama isn't just a tantrum about the recent elections, it's also a cynical political play. The president has had six years to pretend to care about this issue. He didn't pull the pin on this grenade in 2012 because he wanted to get re-elected. He didn't pull the pin on this grenade in 2014 because the democrats trying to get re-elected would have stabbed Caesar on the steps of the White House. This is the same 'shove it down your throat' tactic he had to use when Massachusetts sent Senator Scott Brown to Washington in order to stop Obamacare. Once again the electorate has sent a message to the dictator, this time in overwhelming numbers, and he does not care. He knows better. Apparently elections only have consequences if you agree with him.

Obama: 'I hear you' - CNN

"To those of you who voted, I hear you," Obama said in his first public remarks since the election. To those who didn't vote, "I hear you too."

Elections don't count. He knows better.

It's also cynical because it is a naked attempt to to incite the Republicans into a rabid rage. Which is strategically smart. That could just work. It would not be the first time he tricked Republicans into taking action that is just not well received by the electorate at large. When Republicans threatened to shut down the government, and then did (to no consequence at all), unless he gave waivers for Obamacare penalties to individuals and small businesses, like he had done for friendly unions and large corporations, he called their bluff. Scored his political points, and then cynically granted the waiver by executive order, out of the sight of the complacent main stream media. The government only shut down because that is what he wanted, for political reasons.

And finally, it's mostly cynical because he has introduced 5 million undocumented democratic voters into the electorate well in time for the 2016 elections. That's the real play here. Get a green card, you get a drivers license. Get a drivers license, you get to vote.

Zeig Heil!

I won't even go into all the video where Obama is telling the Latino voters in 2012 that he didn't have the authority to just grant amnesty by executive order, because he didn't have the legal authority. We have all seen it, and we know his declarations tonight have no legal standing, just as he understands. But who cares!

Maybe Jon Gruber was right?

Jon Stewart takes on Jon Gruber, calls Democrats ‘slimy’

Mr. Gruber, an MIT economist who was paid almost $400,000 to help shape Obamacare, said during an October 2013 appearance at the University of Pennsylvania that the “lack of transparency” and “stupidity of the American voter” were politically advantageous in getting the law passed.

He who does not learn from history is condemned to repeat it.

Hey Santana! Shut Up and Play!

Long respected rock and toll oldie Carlos Santana has put aside his tiresome but distinctive sound for a new but even more tiresome tune.

Carlos Santana uses Phillies-Braves ceremony to criticize immigration law

Carlos Santana was given the Beaconof Change award before the Atlanta Braves' fifth annual Civil Rights Game on Sunday against the Philadelphia Phillies and he used the opportunity to criticize Arizona and Georgia for their new immigration laws.

Saying he represented immigrants, the Grammy winner said at Turner field, “The people of Arizona, and the people of Atlanta, Georgia, you should be ashamed of yourselves.”

On Friday, Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal signed a bill that requires many employers to check the immigration status of new hires and authorizes law enforcement officers to check the status of some suspects. The law, one of the toughest in the nation, is similar in some respects to one enacted last year in Arizona.

“This law is not correct. It's a cruel law, actually,” Santana, who emigrated to San Francisco in the 1960s, said after the ceremony. “This is about fear. Stop shucking and jiving. People are afraid we're going to steal your job. No, we aren't. You're not going to change sheets and clean toilets. ...

“This is the United States. This is the land of the free. If people want the immigration laws to keep passing, then everybody should get out and leave the American Indians here.”

 The notion that there should be no immigration laws and that any one should be able to come to this country any time and be able to pick and choose what laws they feel like following is absurd. No country on earth has such a policy. Santana, a Mexican immigrant himself, should look to reform his Motherland, and it's hypocritical position on immigration.

Viva la Crimmigrants!

Even in Europe, the open borders within the EU are retreating. They are relearning why there are good reasons to have a secure border.

Someone please tell Carlos that it has nothing to do with fear. It has nothing to do with racism. It has everything to do with the rule of law. If you don't like the law, well that's OK, you are free to set about getting it changed. It's a democracy here in the United States, and that's the way it works, but spare us your whiny holier-than-thou condescension and your preposterous notion that anyone can come here anytime they want without permission.

10/2: Union's Flex their Muscles

they say that mimicry is a form of flattery. Despite the ridicule and the condescending condemnation of tea party protests and the Glenn Beck / Sarah Palin 8/28 rally, self proclaimed progressives have decided to respond in kind. While all along belittling these gatherings, while yanking and rolling their eyes, the back on their heels leftists are holding a 'see we can have a rally too' event.

I can't wait to see the results.

Will Nancy Pelosi demand a congressional investigation into who is financially backing this group? Will she weep crocodile tears of fear? No, she won't. It's widely known that this operation is organized, by the most experienced organizing organizations known to man.

Heck, the speaker list is a who's who of union royalty.

the ideology between the 8/28 and the 10/2 messages could not be further apart. 8/28 was about individualism and freedom, and 10/2 is clearly about the progressive (not to be confused with the word progress) agenda, including all out support for illegal immigrants, and community unity (aka Communism).

Is it coincidence that a union operation such as this is held so close to the anniversary of a bloody union triumph?

One Nation Working together

When asked what he thought about media attempts to classify this rally as an anti-Tea Party movement, Garland said that he thinks “that’s an over simplification.  Media tends to do that.”

“This is really not about the Tea Party,” he said.  “This is about America. This is about bringing people together who have a positive vision for what America can be, not the Tea Party, which is all about negativity, about hatred, about discrimination, about racism.  And we’re not about that, we’re about bringing America together with positive energy and a positive agenda for a positive future.”

Or we (the unions) will kill you................

Ridiculous Puppet Show

In the grand fashion of Obama drama, the White House propped up the Mexican President Felipe Calderon in front of congress to deliver the administrations admonishments. Until two years ago, the Mexican's immigration were far more severe than that of the united states, and today, they are virtually the same. The only difference is that they enforce their detention and deportation law, and we do not. They guard their southern border with their military, and we do not. But that did not stop the president from chastising the US.

Fix Border Policy, Mexican Leader Tells U.S. Congress

"I'm convinced that a comprehensive immigration reform is also crucial to securing our common border," he said. "However, I strongly disagree with the recently adopted law in Arizona."

He said the law could lead to racial profiling by police who would have the authority to detain people suspected of being in the U.S. illegally.

Since our laws are essentially the same, how do they avoid this? The answer is that they make everybody show their papers at check points scattered throughout a 25 mile buffer along their southern border. No profiling, everybody has to show their papers. Just like Nazi Germany.

Viva la Crimmigrants!

Calderon says he's worried about the flow of guns from the U.S. to Mexico — and he told lawmakers the violence started to increase in his country soon after an assault-rifle ban expired in the U.S. in 2004.

ummm..... How about we send our military to seal the border like they do? That would solve all sorts of problems for all sorts of people. No guns getting into Mexico, no illegal immigrant getting into the US, and no foreign governments changing the constitutional rights of American citizens. Win. Win. Win.

See, this stuff isn't do hard.

Cutting off the nose to spite the face

In typical liberal fighting fashion, the city of Los Angeles has been kicking, biting, and pulling the hair of its neighbor Arizona. When Arizona responded with a solid sock in the jaw they began to cry and run for the school yard supervisor.

The city of Los Angeles who is boldly, indignantly, righteously, and dramatically threatening to punish the State of Arizona for it's law that requires the enforcement of Federal law is now facing threats of losing 25% of it's electricity if they carry out their planned boycott.

L.A. Mayor Dismisses Warning That Arizona Could Cut Off Power Over Boycott

Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa on Wednesday defiantly rejected a warning by a top Arizona utilities official that the state could cut off power to Los Angeles should the city proceed with its boycott of all things Arizona. 

"If an economic boycott is truly what you desire, I will be happy to encourage Arizona utilities to renegotiate your power agreements so Los Angeles no longer receives any power from Arizona-based generation." 

"I am confident that Arizona's utilities would be happy to take those electrons off your hands," Pierce wrote. "If, however, you find that the City Council lacks the strength of its convictions to turn off the lights in Los Angeles and boycott Arizona power, please reconsider the wisdom of attempting to harm Arizona's economy." 

What is good for the goose is good for the gander. The latino mayor's logic of 'No No. You have to take our sanctions and you can do nothing about it' is the same logic that says 'No No. We will brake your laws and enter your country and there is nothing you can do about it'.  Well, we'll see about that.

Viva la Crimmigrants!

With stunning irony Mexican President Felipe Calderon stood aside of president obama and talked about the warm relations and the growing partnership between the two countries.

Obama, Calderon pledge solidarity as issues mount

In a showy display of solidarity, President Barack Obama welcomed Mexican President Felipe Calderon to the White House on Wednesday and pledged cooperation on immigration, a violent drug war and economic struggles on both sides of the border.

Looming over Calderon's state visit is Arizona's controversial immigration law, which makes it a crime under state law to be in the U.S. illegally. Facing pressure at home, Calderon took on the law directly Wednesday, saying it encourages discrimination. He called for the U.S. and Mexico to work together to solve the complex, politically sensitive immigration issue.

Discrimination. Poor things. The hypocrisy is legion. The Mexican government demands that the US allow a free flow of Mexicans across it's border while militantly (literally) defending it's southern border.

Lawless roads: Mexico's southern border

Mexico’s southern border stretches for 960km (600 miles), snaking through remote highlands and thick jungle. Patrolling it is hard. So the government has sought to erect a “vertical border,” with army and police checkpoints spaced at 25km intervals along roads, as well as the railway that many migrants use after they have crossed the border. This strategy has forced migrants into the hills, where many fall victim to criminal gangs.

And if you get caught sneaking into Mexico? It's a felony with a mandatory 4 year sentence. In case you didn't know a 4 year sentence in a Mexican prison is a life sentence, most likely.

It sounds as though Mexico has the solution! Put the Army on the border. Problem solved. Moving on....next topic NAFTA. So Mr President why don't you want free trade with Mexico?

UPDATE:  The law was 2 years for first offense and 10 years for the second offense. That changed 2 years ago and now it is the same as our law. Detention and deportation. Except they actually do it.

Crimmigrents Gone Wild

It is stunning that far flung parts of the country take umbrage with the legal residents of Arizona for trying to protect themselves from violence that is spilling over the border from Mexico. City states such as San Francisco and Boston are contemplating boycotts, embargoes, and sanctions against Arizona for their new law that only enforces federal law already on the books.

Easy for them to say. It is easy to cast aspersions as to how other conduct themselves when you have absolutely no idea what they are going through. Blue state elites malign their desperate acts to keep Arizona families safe while not being able to comprehend the violence and the overflow effects of the drug war taking place just across the border. Not unlike Vietnam and Laos, or even Pakistan and Afghanistan, the effective use of hiding and bouncing back and forth over the border hands an advantage to the criminal and violent organizations seeking refuge from superior forces. This is what is going on in Arizona.

Ariz. sheriff says out of 64 pursuits, zero suspects U.S. citizens

Sheriff Paul Babeu of Pinal County, Arizona decried in a recent radio interview the “emotional” reaction to the immigration situation in his state and encouraged Americans to visit the area and see the challenges his department faces every day. “Just in one patrol region” last month alone, he said, “not one” of the sixty-four drivers who sped away from officers — some of them causing deadly chases — was a U.S. citizen.

"Too bad, shut up and deal with it or feel our wrath" is not a good strategy for the ivory tower set. Instead of a boycott how about sending down some buses and relocating said crimmigrents to your city. Easing the burden of your fellow Americans would be preferred to damning them to untenable conditions.

Outlawing Outlaws?

Here we go with some more upside down world political logic.

Democrats Use Arizona Immigration Law as Rallying Cry for Federal Action

The law would make it a state crime to be an illegal immigrant and require police to question individuals about their immigration status if they suspect they could be in the country illegally. 

Imagine that. You have to create a state law to make law breakers outlaws to wit law enforcement of the law could actually take place.  And the retort to a law that tries to make a law enforceable?

"The idea that state by state would start developing its own immigration laws in the country -- imagine what a patchwork that might look like," Dodd told NBC's "Meet the Press." "It's demanding a national answer to immigration policy, so before this even gets further out of hand, we've got to step up and do the job." 

Dodd called the Arizona law "outrageous." 

The very idea that the federal government is getting upset about states trying to enforce federal regulations bogglers the mind.

But Democrats are defending the decision to pivot, rebutting charges that they're doing so to woo Hispanic voters ahead of the midterm elections. Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., said Sunday that Congress needs to act to make sure other states don't follow Arizona's lead. 

That is right. This is all about stay in power election politics. Just like the Wall Street takeover, this move is  more about what needs to be done to get re-elected than the administrations most avant guard radical agenda planks.

Forget Socialism; Totalitarianism is the name of this game!
