Republican may sue to continue deportation of youths brought to U.S.
illegally as children
By Muriel Kane
Friday, June 15, 2012 18:26 EDT


President Obama’s announcement that his administration intends to block
the deportation of as many as 800,000 young people who were brought to
the U.S. illegally as children has already aroused a storm of fury on the
right.

Most of the Republican Congressional leadership has been slow to react as
they weigh the electoral implications of opposing the aspirations of
young people who did not choose to commit any illegal acts and have grown
up as Americans, in some cases even serving in the U.S. military.

Rep. Steve King (R-IA), however, has no such doubts. He informed the Des
Moines Register on Friday that he believes the president’s executive
order not only violates both the Constitution and U.S. statute by waiving
the law for certain classes of people but represents a violation of
Obama’s oath of office.

“I expect to bring a lawsuit against the president of the United States
to suspend his executive order,” King told the paper.

King, who successfully sued then-Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack in 1999 over a
state executive order that would have banned discrimination against gay,
lesbian, and transgender government employees, believes that this is “a
very, very similar case” and that he is on “very solid constitutional
ground.”

He also sees it as a potentially potent electoral issue among
conservative voters, because “It’s not longer about what policy you might
prefer and it’s whether you uphold the Constitution and rule of law.”

Rachel Weiner at the Washington Post, however, believes this is “a fight
the White House undoubtedly wants — between an administration attempting
to help young immigrants who were raised in the United States and a
Republican Party bent on stopping him.”

She suggests that the executive order is likely to boost Obama’s
prospects among Hispanic voters, not just through his own actions but
because also because it may incite extreme anti-immigrant rhetoric from
Republicans like King

Weiner further notes that George W. Bush regularly issued executive
orders on everything from climate change to stem cell research and that
constitutional experts are skeptical that King can make a case against
Obama employing what is essentially no more than an extension of the
presidential pardon power.

“If Obama was actively defying an act of Congress, that would [be] a
constitutional confrontation,” CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin
explained. “But I don’t think you can assert that this is actively
defying the law. This is simply applying it with [Obama’s] discretion as
the executive.”

Now Obama is doing it for votes and might just cancel it after the

Obama is not fit to be President.

What votes? They still won't be able to vote despite the paranoid right
wing belief that half of all voters are illegal aliens. It's just plain
humanitarian and common sense to do this. Of course, the GOP are doing
themselves immense damage by letting the moronic bigots scream their
hatred on their behalf, but that's hardly Obama's fault, is it. Grow a
pair and tell the bigots to go fuck themselves.

LOL How would you stop people from speaking thier opinions?

Don't think anyone is letting them and coming into this country
illegally is not a matter of Bigotry. It is a crime no matter the
race involved.

Sound like you and yours are wanting a Class war and a race war. All
that to elect Obama who is not fit to be President as the last 3+
years have shown.

That's why border activists object to the term "amnesty" because it
implies "amnesia", or forgetting. They advocate honest accounting of
everyone's record.

Oh, yeah, including this guy:

http://toxichominid.com/2012/06/16/arizona-sheriff-who-threatened-to-deport-his-illegal-immigrant-lover-finds-obamas-deportation-limits-shocking/

Arizona’s right-wing Sheriff who spends his nights prowling for young
homo Mexican migrants Paul Babeu finds President Obama’s new
immigration policy “shocking.”

How dare the Kenyan allow the illegals to stay, doesn’t he know self-
hating homosexual Sheriff Paul Babeu needs the illegals to remain in a
constant state fear of deportation, that way he can extort them for
anal sex?

Pfft.

Here’s what Babeu (future of the RNC) had to say about MaoBama’s
speech:

“Now we have Obama, Holder, and Napolitano that think they can just
unilaterally wave their hand and change the law and policy,” said
Babeu, referring to the president, Attorney General Eric Holder and
Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano.”

That’s funny Babeu says that, because according to the Phoenix New-
Times, Babeu “ran all over Pinal County saying he supported “any type”
of guest-worker program and made “a commitment” when he ran for
sheriff that he wouldn’t go after law-abiding immigrants.”

Where did I say that? I said I want it passed by Congress and
be permanent. Obama alone can't do that. It is a gimmick for votes
by Obama. That is plain he thinks latinos are stupid.

LOL good try and again you are showing how the Democrats use
Class and race warfare for votes. You should feel shame. Try using
good planning as Obama has failed to do as President.

Whatsamatter, isn't Obama cleaning up Bush's mess fast enough? Just

Class war is the only way we get to take out the right wing garbage
every few decades. Get in line. This time we are going to have to
turn you into some sort of food product. You might be at least worth
pig food. Not much else I can think you're good for.

You made a unfounded accusation, I wanted to see your evidence for
it.

What the Dems need to do is make a bill that closely resembles the
Presidents Idea and maybe add a way for eventual citizenship. NOT a
general amnesty. Put it before Congress NOW before the election and
don't intentionally place a deal breaker in it for votes. Then see if
it passes.

That is what both sides do now. They take a good idea and make it
have a deal breaker intentionally for purely political reasons.
Something to point to in the next election. Both sides do this.

LOL I know how it works and many of the dirty tricks both parties
play. You Democrats are playing the Class warfare and now Race cards
because even as the incumbent Obama isn't doing so well. Then that
speech the other day went really bad. Your desperate and think
Latinos will support this temporary measure and vote Democrat. Good
thing is they have seen through the rhetoric to the meat of Obama's
little trick.

What we are seeing here in these liberal replies is desperation.

Were not talking about the past were talking about the Present and
future, This is like the Late term abortion bill was for the
Republicans something they did not really want passed. All they had
to do was place a exception for the mothers health and it would have
passed the courts. This is the Dems version of that a ploy to be used
every election and not one they truly want fixed. If they did they
would make a reasonable bill that could pass.

There are bigoted and Racist people in both parties and in all races.
Not much we can do about that.

Desperate much the American people will decide in a few months and

I have noticed that many liberals do talk about limited freedoms
on here. They forget even Obama can't just remove the Constitution.

They say to silence people but never say how it should be done.
Strange that is it a Dem secret for after the election and if Obama
wins. His Flexibility he promised the Russians,

All that and still Obama is scared. 50/50 Split or there about
This will be a close election and I hope Obama loses.

You need new and better material.

I think you'd find many Republicans would support a bill brought
before Congress along the lines but with more detail of what Obama
proposes. Then again a rational bill would be turned into a deal
Breaker to make it into general amnesty and that I oppose. We need a
long term fix not some election year ploy.
