Thread: Where is the GOP response to Obama’s illegal alien amnesty

On Thursday, the Obama administration announced that they will now only deport illegal aliens who have been convicted of crimes in this country, more than likely, that means only those convicted of felonies. Perhaps, even more devastating, the administration will also reportedly distribute work permits to those illegal aliens allowed to stay even as U.S. unemployment remains very high.

While the anger among conservative activists and law abiding Americans is palpable, the silence coming from the national Republican Party on this potentially disastrous move has been deafening.

While it is true that Congress is currently on vacation, what Obama has done is grant a blanket amnesty to millions of illegal aliens currently inside the U.S., as well as issue an invitation to untold numbers of people around the world to just ‘get here and you can stay!’

Given the country’s current economic state, adding millions of new job seekers to the already anemic job market could easily result in an actual unemployment rate of 30 percent.

Advertisement Additionally, even if a judge orders an illegal alien to be deported, the administration can simply overturn the decision. Of course, due to overwhelming resistance from the American people, all forms of amnesty have failed time and time again to make it through Congress.

Obama has now essentially declared himself to be more powerful than the courts as well Congress.

So, where are the Republicans?

Not one current GOP presidential candidate has called for Obama’s impeachment over this matter, nor even held a press conference.

Should we be surprised?

In January 2011, it was announced that Rep. Elton Gallegly (R-CA) will head the House Subcommittee on Immigration Policy and Enforcement. The California Congressman was chosen for the top job, even though Rep. Steve King (R-IA) was the ranking member of the subcommittee when Democrats controlled the House.

Rep. King has consistently been the loudest voice in the U.S. Congress, calling for strict border enforcement and at times, seemingly the only one on Capitol Hill who is concerned about the public safety crisis caused by illegal immigration.

In 2006, King released the results of a study which found that 12 Americans are murdered daily by illegal aliens, and 13 are killed by drunk illegal alien drivers every day.

That same study also determined that eight American children become victims of sexual abuse by illegal aliens every day, translating into 2,920 child victims annually.

King once said: “Members of Congress that vote for a guest-worker plan ... will be supporting an amnesty plan and they should be branded with the scarlet letter 'A' and pay for that amnesty in the ballot box in November [elections].â€

the above was a curtasy slam for G.O.P. Members that are quite sure how we the people view them

Many of the GOP RINOs are still pandering to the NWO elites and to the latin/hispanic community of the year 2040...

Could it be Obama made this very bold move because he knew the GOP leaders would do NOTHING except make alot of noise & meaningless threats ??

Why is the GOP afraid? Are they afraid of illegal aliens? THe GOP must not. The GOP must oppose amnesty for illegal aliens. The dictator Obama must be removed from office NOW.

Republicans need to bark loud and long to their office-holders and candidates so there is no mistake about where the people of our country stand on this issue which is very simple. Secure the borders, have states enforce US immigration law to the letter, punish employers, landlords and others who employ, aid, abet or harbor illegal aliens, cut off all jobs and benefits, stop automatic birthright citizenship for children of illegal aliens and stop issuing 1.3 million plus green cards and visas every year so we can stop the illegal chain migration that accompanies it.

Yes, for some reason it seems they ARE afraid of them, even tho most hispanics would never vote Republican anyway. I guess they figure they might as well throw the baby out with the bathwater and alienate their other "base" too?

The GOP still clings to this ridiculous notion that they will alienate hispanics (who as a voting block, will never give the GOP the time of day) if they come out against illegal invaders. They should in fact be worried about alienating their base if they do not stand up against this tyranny! The GOP could possibly pick up a substantial number of American voters if they did.

But they show no indications of that. A few have danced around the issue, but nobody has addressed it head on from the list of current GOP candidates.

So right you are. And it's time for this nonsense to end in the Republican Party.

A true Republican is not a true capitalist. A true Republican is a nativist capitalist that protects our own industries and businesses through protected trade policies and regulations and protects our own workers and their livelihoods through secure borders and strict enforcement of US Civil Rights, US Immigration and US Labor Laws.

And no, GW Bush didn't do that. Instead he laid down on immigration enforcement and expanded free trade treason causing far more harm to the United States and the American People than the sum total of 9/11 and the two wars he started.

George W Bush could have and should have been a great President, but he fell victim to his own globalist vision as will all who hold it including his Daddy, his predecessor and his successor who will all be marked in perpetuity as men who tried to destroy the United States to benefit other nations.

There is a word for that, and I think most Americans regardless of their political party affiliation know what it is.

. Everybody knows that this executive order is unconstitutional. If enough pressure is put on the Republican party leadership it will have to respond. The same thing is true with the courts. Keep the pressure on them.
