Illiberal Immigration ‘Reform’; People who call for “comprehensive immigration reform” seldom mean it.

Victor Davis Hanson

 

"The last thing a liberal proponent of immigration reform wants is liberal immigration reform. Remember that paradox, and the insanity at the border makes some sense.

"Each day a worried politician or pundit, with creased brow and pained expression, lectures us about the need for “comprehensive immigration reform” to avoid the sort of chaos we are witnessing on the border.

"Then a funny thing happens. The speaker never defines the term. If on rare occasions advocates are asked, they fumble around, annoyed that anyone would press them to explain what they mean." ...   More...

EXCLUSIVE: Obama Pulls Immigration Judges From Cases, Gives Illegal Aliens Many More Years to Stay

http://comicallyincorrect.com/2014/07/15/children-at-the-border/

Debbie Schlussel      "DebbieSchlussel.com has exclusively learned that Barack Obama is using the Southern border crisis as a way to stop immigration courts around the country from functioning and allow many illegal aliens already in our interior to stay. In a clever and tricky move, he’s pulling immigration judges off cases they were set to hear, allowing illegal aliens to start all over again at the back of the line and stay here for many more years, if not forever, as a document DebbieSchlussel.com exclusively obtained, shows. This is his “comprehensive immigration reform” by personal fiat.

Whether or not Barack Obama gets the billions of dollars he’s seeking allegedly to deport the “child” illegal aliens at the Southern border (and most of the money won’t go for that), DebbieSchlussel.com has exclusively learned that the President is already pulling immigration judges off of scheduled cases in states like Colorado and allowing the illegal aliens they were set to try and deport to stay here for many more years, if not for life. Immigration lawyers have sent out e-mails like the one below, notifying their colleagues that the Obama Justice Department (which operates immigration courts) has suspended immigration hearings for illegal aliens because the judges have been sent by Obama to the Southern border to hear cases there.

The condescension of this president toward all of us. (Updated)

Bloviating Zeppelin is much more blunt:

"And the Washington Post calls Mr Obama out on it.

Fact Checker

"Obama’s claim that the GOP has ‘blocked every serious idea’ "

by Glenn Kessler
“So far this year, Republicans in Congress have blocked every serious idea to strengthen the middle class.”
"–President Obama, weekly address, July 12, 2014

This has become a standard line in the president’s oratory, as part of making his case that he’s “acted this year to help working Americans on my own– when Congress won’t act.”

"The Pinocchio Test

"We make no judgement on which side has the surplus of “serious ideas,” but the president is engaging in rhetorical overkill. Certainly this congressional session has resulted in few major laws. Perhaps he could make a case that Republicans have blocked many bills that he has sought—or even that his most prized initiatives have been stymied.
But to claim that “every serious idea” has been blocked is going too far–given that the president lauded at least three bills as aiding the middle class. (Update: In a speech the morning this column appeared, the president adjusted his language appropriately: “Republicans in Congress keep blocking or voting down some of the ideas that would have the biggest impact on middle-class and working families.”)

"Therefore, the Washington Post gives Mr Obama: Three Pinocchios

  

 

Yet, still he manages to find a chorus of adoring, happy faces to stand behind him at every speech.

 

"Speaking of “you lie,” let’s revisit an event during an Obama speech in the House regarding the ACA, on September 9th of 2009, wherein Representative Joe Wilson of South Carolina shouted “you lie” in the midst of the address: "
 

"It turns out that Rep Wilson was prescient: it has been made abundantly clear that illegal aliens will have their healthcare covered, despite the fact that they have done absolutely nothing to earn it."

But WAIT! There's more!

Ex-Taliban POW Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl Has Hired a Lawyer

ABC News  

"Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, the former Taliban POW who was just returned to active duty, has lawyered up, asking prominent military affairs attorney Eugene Fidell to take his case.

 

"Fidell, who teach military justice at Yale Law School, told ABC News today that he has been representing Bergdahl for about a week and is working pro bono.

 

“ 'I think it’s important that people, particularly people who have been vilified, have proper representation, and every lawyer has a responsibility to represent even unpopular clients and that’s why I’m involved in this,” Fidell told ABC News. Bergdahl also has an Army lawyer who will be representing him, but he approached Fidell for additional help, Fidell said.

 

"The Army said when it put Bergdahl back on regular duty this week that it would continue to investigate the details of his capture by the Taliban in 2009. He was freed in a controversial swap of Taliban prisoners being held in Guantanamo earlier this year.

Obama's Legacy Threatens America's Future

Alan Caruba   "Americans are feeling the same fear for the future that preceded the Civil War when the incompetent James Buchanan left the mess that Abraham Lincoln had to address. I don’t think we have ever had a President with less knowledge of history than Barack Obama and less ability to solve domestic economic problems and address threatening foreign ones.

  “ 'Rarely has a U.S. President been so wrong about so much at the expense of so many,” said former Vice President Dick Cheney, along with his daughter Liz...

 

Obama’s Legacy: A Divided Country & Dysfunctional Government   ... "Why did voters elect this racist ideologue?  They wanted to show  that they harbor no prejudice against a black man, that they are morally  superior, and not bigoted.

"They were willing to make president a man who was a one-term senator whose  only accomplishment in the senate was to work on his campaign and vote “present”, whose background was community organizing, whose birthplace was  shrouded in mystery (an original birth certificate has never been produced),  whose associates were known radicals and racists, and whose college years have  been sealed off from inquiry.  Can you imagine any white candidate with  these credentials being elected?" ...

This guy likes Obama. Well, he did in 2008 and so did Letterman writer Bill Scheft.
