Large Majority Say Government Encourages Illegal Migration

Most voters nationwide continue to believe government policies encourage illegal immigration and support using the military along the U.S.-Mexican border. But they remain divided as to whether the federal government or individual states should enforce immigration laws.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely Voters shows that 59% believe the policies and practices of the federal government encourage illegal immigration. Just 23% disagree while another 18% are not sure.

The number of voters who believe the federal government’s policies encourage people to enter the country illegally is virtually unchanged from May and is in line with findings since October 2009.

Majorities of Republicans (70%) and voters not affiliated with either party (61%) believe the government’s policies encourage illegal immigration, a view shared by 46% of Democrats. Read the rest

Comrade Obama works his way around congress

I told you a long time ago, and have been telling you since, Comrade Obama wants to make congress irrelevant. And as we judge him by his actions, we clearly see he has managed to accomplish that in many area’s. Namely socialized medicine.

Ever wonder why there is no border enforcement? Well, you need to read this.

Facing growing opposition to his economic proposals and dimming prospects that Congress will pass other parts of his agenda, President Obama told a Hispanic group in Washington Wednesday that when it comes to the issue of immigration, “I’d like to work my way around Congress.”

“As I mentioned when I was at La Raza a few weeks back, I wish I had a magic wand and could make this all happen on my own,” Obama told a meeting of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. “There are times where — until Nancy Pelosi is speaker again — I’d like to work my way around Congress.”

Newsflash for Comrade O. Nancy Pelosi will never be speaker again.

As he continued, Obama conceded that “we’ve got laws on the books that have to be upheld.” But he quickly added there are different ways to uphold the laws on the books. “You know as well as anyone that…how we enforce those laws is also important,” Obama said. Last month, the administration made a major, unilateral change in immigration law enforcement when it announced that the government will not initiate deportation proceedings against illegal immigrants unless they have committed serious crimes. To critics, Obama had indeed worked his way around Congress. Read the rest

Boehner to Obama: Congress writes the laws, you don’t

As the tyrannical Obama regime implodes and crumbles at a faster and faster rate each passing week, House Majority Leader John Boehner had to educate Barack Obama on how the constitution works in this country:

“As I read the Constitution, the Congress writes the laws and you get to decide what you want to sign,” Boehner said, recounting what he told the president, according to two sources.

The tide in this country has certainly changed from 2008. Every once in a while you’ve got to elect a Democrat majority and White House to remember how truly awful they really are.

King Barack “The Tyrant” thumbs his nose and willfully violates FEC law

Is everybody sick of this tyrant yet? This pompous ass who thinks he can do as pleases, and does as he pleases, daring anyone to stop him.

via Real Clear Politics:

NRO’s Jim Geraghty raises the question of whether Barack Obama filmed a video for his reelection campaign in the White House, which may possibly be a violation of federal election laws.

In the video, President Obama promotes a “Dinner With Barack” raffle. To participate in the contest you need to donate at least $5 to the president’s re-election campaign and your name will be raffled off to enjoy a dinner with the President, airfare and accommodations included. In a new web video, Obama announced Vice President Joe Biden will also be attending the dinner.

There is one problem, however. This campaign ad was most likely recorded in the White House, which may have violated FEC campaign finance laws.

RCP has the Obama begging for your money video along with screenshots of his White House weekly addresses and I’ll be darned, it’s the very same location. Oops! Let’s get after this assclown and prosecute him.

Senate approves “birther” bill in Arizona

If you want Arizona’s electoral votes, or want to run for president, you have to provide proof of citizenship. Nothing wrong with that. If you can’t produce, you don’t get the electoral votes and that could cause you to lose the election. Don’t be silly. Of course the Democrats are on the wrong side of this. Would you expect anything but?

PHOENIX – The Arizona Senate has approved a revised bill requiring presidential candidates to prove they are U.S. citizens eligible to run for the office.

The bill approved Wednesday gives candidates additional ways to prove they meet the constitutional requirements to be president.

It was prompted by the ongoing claim by some that there is no proof President Barack Obama was born in the United States and is therefore ineligible to be president.

Democrats argued the bill exceeds the state’s authority and say state officials are not fully qualified to determine the validity of a candidate’s documents.

As usual, Democrats are wrong. The state has every authority to do so. They are under the false assumption that the federal government is the big cheese. Clearly they have no understanding of the constitution. It is the states that grant rights to the federal government, not the other way around. Look it up.

Democrats by and large are statists. 180 degree’s opposite the constitution. They believe in federal control over pretty much everything. No, I’m not name-calling, I’m just telling it to you straight and that’s it.

Kline Says Education Overhaul Shouldn’t be Rushed

Obama set the ambitious timeline during a speech Monday, but Republican Rep. John Kline of Lakeville says Congress should take the time to get it right and not set an arbitrary deadline.
