Damn...taking political pandering to a whole new level...

The problem with these two are:

1. The expansion of executive power was one of the main traits of the previous administration. Pretty hypocritical to start pointing fingers now that this administration is using it. Perhaps Yoo can write a new episode on unitary executive power denouncing what he was defending just 4 years ago.

2. The DREAM act was re-introduced in 2009, 2010 (where it was heavily modified to appease to Republican demands, yet it was still filibustered) and 2011, where, again, Republicans withdrew their votes.

It's obvious that even if Republicans agree with immigration reform, they would rather not pass it on a Democrat administration, where it can be seen as a victory or triumph for the administration.

As scott pointed out earlier in the thread:

Spot on.

Romney offers his own plan for immigration

In seeking the Republican presidential nomination, Romney vowed to veto DREAM Act legislation and criticized Texas Gov. Rick Perry for allowing in-state tuition benefits for children of illegal immigrants.

Romney told the NALEO conference that while they may not agree on all measures, they agree on the goal to improve the immigration system and economic opportunities for Latinos.

He unveiled immigration reform measures that would

grant citizenship to immigrants who served in the military,

offered work permits to those achieving advanced degrees, AMNESTY!!!

improve the immigration verification system for employers SPECIFICS!!!

build a high-technology fence along the Southwest border. BOONDOGGLE!!!

The proposal was immediately panned by Democrats.

“I'm glad I heard this speech at Disney World, because it shows he is living in a fantasy land,” said Trey Martinez Fischer, a Texas House representative and president of the Mexican American Legislative Caucus.

Damn, these shiesty politicians forgot that there's laws against coming over the border without valid do entation, tbh... it's called ILLEGAL immigration for a reason... plus Mexico's illegal immigration laws are way stricter than ours, how does that work?

"Mexico's illegal immigration laws are way stricter than ours, how does that work?"

MX's excellent, uncorrupt police, border gurads NEVER let a single non-MX from ANYWHERE into their country.

[Clipper Nation]

For real, if you immigrate into Mexico illegally, you get 2 years in jail for your first offense, 6 for a visa offense, and 10 for people who got deported and try to sneak back in again... I'm not saying we should be anywhere that harsh, but damn, we need to realize that these people are breaking our laws tbh...

[boutons_deux]

lots of ty countries like MX have HORRIBLE laws and regs applied by low-level enforcers who live off the bribes for not enforcing.

Every liberal here has been brainwashed into loving the mexicans and even putting them first class over themselves. It's really odd like living in the twilight zone.

To play devil's advocate here for a second, the people that this thing allegedly affects are people that didn't come into the country (and thus, break the law) on their own will.

Patriotism is also demonized in this forum.

"Well, gee golly gosh, those politicians are our God's and well, who am I to ever question anything they do!? I'm sure it's for a good reason, I don't want to disagree and be labeled a racist or a bigot! I'm so ashamed of myself for being white."

wouldn't want to cut in on your thinking about s time.

you brought it up. it has consumed you to the point of not noticing it.

you might want to look for that niche in argentina.

remote control. Just sit at your computer scanning the brush for s, find one, center your cursor right between the eyes and hit enter.

The one in the picture looks like a ruger 1022. Naturally the government would probably want to use 5.56.

Rubio whining HUSSEIN stole his thunder

Rubio Complains Obama’s Immigration Policy Helps Kids: ‘That Sense Of Urgency Has Been Taken Away’

We used to say, these kids want to go to college in September. Now that argument is gone. That sense of urgency has been taken away. The fact it’s all gotten mixed up in this election year and being used to attack Republicans has only made it harder. I’m still optimistic about the long term of this idea, but I think there’s a lot of work to do now because of the way the President did it.

Rubio complained immediately after the directive was issued that the President didn’t call him first.
