President Obama Heralds Illegal Amnesty Decree as Chance to ‘Remake Ourselves’ and the Nation Reacts

By Kyle Becker (9 mins ago) | Nation, Politics



President Obama gave his illegal amnesty decree tonight willing and eager to disobey his constitutional oath of office, and with full knowledge that what he is doing is lawless (and therefore should be struck down as null and void by the states and the courts).
The story of the night as relayed by the reaction on Twitter:

No, Reagan Did Not Offer An Amnesty By Lawless Executive Order

Don't let anyone con you into believing that Reagan pushed immigration amnesty via lawless executive order. Nothing could be further from the truth.

And the quote of the night:

Matt Bowman @GenXSurvivor Follow Obama shreds Constitution on theory we are "not trapped by our past but able to remake ourselves as we choose"
8:05 PM - 20 Nov 2014


Ever since President Obama came into office promising “hope and change” and the “fundamental transformation of the United States of America,” he has been scheming to do everything in his ability to subvert the law and to seize powers that aren’t legally his. Now the president is doing what he wants in defiance of Congress and the American people: Using his executive authority not to enforce the laws, but to break the law and to protect fellow lawbreakers.

Deport illegal aliens, families intact.

Reduce legal immigration with a minimum 5 year moratorium.

Why?

Because over 15% of the US population is already in poverty.

Because over 21% of the US population is already on Medicaid.

Because over 31% of the population of the State of California is already on Medicaid.

Because over 29% of the population of the State of New York is already on Medicaid.

Because the % of the US population that is not in poverty and not on Medicaid can't afford the cost of those who are because the number of those who are is much larger than it should be because of illegal immigration and excess legal immigration.

This isn't about groups or race or foreign country. It's simply about the grotesque number of people migrating to the United States and causing unsustainable over-population in our nation.

Obama's speech tonight proved he's a heartless idiot, a moron who chose to sell out the nation he swore to defend in favor of people from other countries who shouldn't be here in the first place who are here in violation of US immigration law, US labor law and US civil rights law. He wants to do background checks on illegal aliens? And this man actually went to Harvard? Why would you need to do a background check on illegal aliens when you already know they've broken US immigration, US labor, US civil rights and US tax law? How do you do a background check on an illegal alien anyway? He wants illegal aliens to pay "back taxes", proving he already knows they've broken US immigration, US labor, US civil rights and US tax law, as all their employers have already done as well.

On Veteran's Day in the United States, Obama was in China selling out our trade and job protections to the Chinese.

On November 20th, the date of the start of the Mexican Revolution, Obama is in the White House selling out our people, jobs, educations and public benefits to illegal aliens.

Any President who does such things is a fake leader, a wolf in sheep's clothing, and a fox watching the hen house as is any member of Congress who supports any such actions.

Today marks the date of the true tragedy America has become, and my heart aches for our citizens who will forfeit by Obama mandate their jobs, their livelihoods, their money, their educations, and our blessings of liberty for people who have no regard for any of us, because if they did they wouldn't be here to begin with.
