Default How on earth is it ok

to circumvent Congress with an executive order allowing illegals to stay here to continue to drain the system and add more competition for the few available jobs?

WTF?

Congress doesn't have the GUTS to challenge him on any of the executive orders that he has issued, including this one. I sure hope that the voters have the courage to vote him out in November.

never will understand what part of 'illegal alien' is unclear to people

wanna stay here? FINE, become LEGAL ...if you can't, well...that's illegal and therefore criminal

otherwise, send me an illegal alien application form because I'd like free health care and no taxes, too...

what happens when illegal alien is stopped for speeding? I mean they can't get a drivers license, either, right? oh wait, somehow they can

Obama's decision is popular amongst voters.

Quote:
President Barack Obama's high-profile shift on immigration last week—announcing plans to grant temporary legal status to as many as 800,000 undocumented people brought to American soil as children—has the overwhelming support of likely voters in a new Bloomberg poll released Tuesday.

Sixty-four percent of them—and 66 percent of independents, the frequently up-for-grabs voters thought to decide elections—support the president's decision

And the 800,000 illegal's don't want it to pass, since then they'll have to start paying taxes, hospital bills and child support.

No, that's just the typical kid my age. Never thinking more than 15 minutes into the future.

Today
Sure, let's add 800,000 people to our 'eligible' workforce.

Next Month (at a protest)
We want jobs! We want our student debt paid! We want healthcare!

If we keep our socialist clip, we'll look like this before we know what hit us

I meant that in a slightly snarky way. The internet isnt as good as a conversation when it comes to tone, since when I was reading Rich and Nick's posts it was coming off to me as a "we're doomed, no one will ever be able to work again" kind of way.

FWIW, illegal immigration into this country is at a decade low. This is in part due to the economy, but also in part due to stepped-up enforcement efforts. The deportation of illegal immigrants under Obama's administration is double from that of Dubya's first term (and 30% more than his 2nd term).

you usually do assume incorrectly when it comes to my posts.
