Immigration exploded as a campaign issue Friday when President Obama announced a new policy on undocumented immigrants under 30: They won’t be deported if they have Dream Act qualities. Obama called it a “temporary, stopgap” action. Supporters cheered the policy as sensible and humane. Opponents jeered it as an “end run” around Congress. Is this move a relief for innocent children or a signal that illegality is condoned?
And Mary, please don't call them collateral damage anymore. Please.
The poll should have been instead - do we really need a million more workers? Kids were not actively being deported anyway - Obama's intentions were not altruistic - but rather completely politically motivated. What is significant about the age group he selected? Why didn't he make all undocumented aliens - of good moral character - legal residents? The biggest threat of Obama's unilateral pronouncement is that only congress has the authority to enact naturalization laws. Per the U.S. Constitution - Article 1 Section 8: "The Congress shall have Power ...To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization" The constitution does not even hint that the President has any authority over immigration. It does however state: The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors. My burning question is: Why hasn't he been impeached yet?
you're evading the central question.. are you asking for american military interrvention in syria?..american troops on the ground? doug
Specifically what treasonous act, bribe or high crime or misdemeanor did our present President or Vice President commit? You must be dreaming because I'm sure the Obama haters would have impeached him already if they had anything at all. Komfort - WHAT WILL YOU DO if President Obama is re-elected?
Obviously you don't understand anything that anyone says.
Mary, I don't think you understand what you are saying.
How high and how deep are you going to build this fence? Maybe a bubble over the entire U.S. is the answer. Reality needs to enter into this equation at some point. Bumper Sticker Slogans haven't been the answer so far.
"Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" Those are not the words of the World Police, but rather the words of a welcoming nation to all peoples looking for freedom.

somehow, i don't think assad's gonna call "time out" while we go in and get them.. you donrt think we can accomplish the same by backing the arab countries around who'd like to see assad overthrown?.. there's a bunch of them.. doug
that country, then feed, clothe, and provide shelter, medical and transportation to where, for how many millions? Sounds like a well thought out plan to me. Who do you think is going to pay for this humanitarian evacuation?
"And in the third essay, "The Jewish Problem" (February 1883), [Emma Lazarus] observed that Jews, who are always in the minority, "seem fated to excite the antagonism of their fellow countrymen." To this problem she offered a solution: the founding of a state by Jews for Jews in Palestine. Lazarus promoted Zionism throughout the 1880s." http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/biography/lazarus.html
I would suggest we set refuge ships close to the Syrian shores and allow the Syrians that wish to make a difference for their children swim out to them.
i'll try this one more time, just for the record.. are you advocating american boots on the ground in syria? it's what they call a "yes" or "no" question.. doug
that wasn't so bad, was it? doug
