This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but a whimper.
If it's anything that takes jobs from us it's having a shit load of things being made in China. That right there is talking far more jobs away from us than those illegals that are most likely also doing jobs you, I and anybody else doesn't want to do. The other things about illegals is that a decent amount of their money most likely stays in the country. With China on the other hand it's being spent on their workers making our things.
Outsourcing is a good thing. Having good produced as cheaply as possible makes everybody wealthier. Switching to protectionism and hiking tariffs only depresses consumer surplus.

I hate when people push for the whole 'Made in the USA' thing. Sorry, I don't want to pay $30 for something that I can buy on Amazon for $12 shipped.

lol


Y'know, I see everyone talking about how Obama doesn't give a fuck about the Constitution, abusing his powers, etc.


If it's so obvious to even the layman that what he is doing is wrong, why hasn't he been removed from office yet? He's been at it for 6 years.

Even the Republican leadership know that they can't impeach the guy - it's only the idiots who post on Fox News facebook pages, and Ted Cruz.

Not all E.Os=Unconstitutional

E.Os must have a Constitutional standing. Besides, Republicans will deny it but they rather much have Obama in officer than Biden when it comes down to it

Congress is more than welcome to pass laws to fix the problem, saving Obama from having to use executive orders. Of course, that would require Congress to do something....

Sorry, the House to do something.

It's not like Obama is acting before Congress even has a chance to do something. They've had years to fix this, and have actively chosen not to.

...Because Congress has a job to pass laws. That's what they are elected to do, but guess what? This Congress has been one of the worst at actually doing their damn job.

The House is currently sitting on a bill, already passed by the Senate, that would increase funding to the southern border, along with security improvements. While, again, it's better to actually fix the system instead of funneling money into something that is fundamentally broken, this is just an example of Congress doing nothing, and then complaining and throwing a hissy fit when Obama does something.

Obama has said to Congress that if they don't like his EO's, to pass laws to fix the various problems his orders are tackling. They choose not to. They are at fault.

It's because Congress is so fucking shitty that Obama is essentially backed into a corner.

It's the fucking Republicans, man.

The U.S. House of Representatives has passed 356 bills that are languishing in the Senate

Want to trey again? Typical for Democrats to blame everybody else and take not responsibility. They all cried to their mommies when Republicans blame Democrats but have no issue turning the tables

And every time the House passes a bill, it's either shot down in the Senate or vetoed by the president.

So, are we going to detail what bills the Republicans passed that the Senate isn't taking up? Because around 50 of them are the "OH MY GOD OBAMACARE IS EVIL REPEAL IT" bullshit.

There's a reason the bills don't get taken up - lack of support,  lack of necessity, or the sheer fact that there are fifty of the same bill piling up because Republicans cannot get it through their head that they aren't repealing a law.

So, Kinder, if you want to continue talking about stalled bills in Congress, make your own thread. You are not derailing my thread in order to try and act intelligent and prove a point for something that does not relate to the topic of this thread whatsoever, aside from one single border security bill that is stalled.

Let me get this straight, you bring up one bill sitting around yet I bring up over 300 bills yet somehow that doesn't matter? Yeah, alright you've made me laugh; I'm done with this thread now

Because the one bill I referred to is directly related to the topic of immigration reform, referring to the border control funding that you have brought up several times? Unlike your topic, which is simply referring to political stalling, which has nothing to do with immigration?

Yeah, alright you've made me laugh; I'm done with this thread now

Thank. God.

President Barack Obama will announce this week that he is shielding about 5 million undocumented immigrants from deportation and will travel to Las Vegas for an event Friday to promote it, according to sources familiar with the planning.

Senior administration officials began calling immigration reform proponents Wednesday to fill them in on plans for the rollout and the details of the proposal.

The executive actions will cover 4 million undocumented immigrants who would qualify for deferred deportations by using criteria such as longevity in the United States and family ties, according to sources briefed on the discussions. Another 1 million would receive protection through other means, two sources said.

There will be no special protections for farm workers or parents of Dreamers — two categories that groups had lobbied hard for — because there were concerns about those pieces clearing the legal bars, sources said. However, the administration officials noted in their calls, many people who fall into those categories would qualify if they have children who are U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents. Dreamers, in contrast, are undocumented immigrants who were brought to this country by their parents as minors.

Obama could announce his plans in a prime time speech Thursday, the senior administration officials told advocates, though it’s unclear that the speech will be broadcast at that time. Top aides, meanwhile, are suggesting that the president will go big.

Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson confirmed Wednesday that Obama will make his announcement “in the coming days” and that the reforms the president puts forward will be “comprehensive.” Speaking at an event hosted by the New Democrat Network, a left-leaning think tank, Johnson said the president has “fairly wide latitude” to act under the law.

“He’s going to go as far as he can under the law,” Domestic Policy Council Director Cecilia Muñoz said Tuesday. Still, the administration acknowledges that there are limits to what he can do. “He’s going to be the first to say that it doesn’t fix everything that’s broken.”

Dawn Le, of the Alliance for Citizenship, offered a hint at the timing in an email that the AFL-CIO’s Jeff Hauser forwarded to reporters before asking them to “ignore” the previous note.

“We hear there will be a prime time Thursday evening announcement (to preview) and full unveiling in Vegas on Friday,” Le wrote. “Unclear whether Thursday night content will be what is ‘celebratory,’ but Friday will be where we need a lot of energy guaranteed.”

The president’s turn to executive action comes after pushing House Republicans for more than a year to take up the immigration bill passed by the Senate in June 2013. Obama had long held out hope that House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) would bring the bill to the floor, but when the speaker told the president that he would not be holding a vote on it in 2014, Obama vowed in a Rose Garden speech to act on his own.
Obama had initially planned to announce executive actions on immigration at the end of the summer but in September the White House said he would put off a final decision until after Election Day, amid Democrats’ concerns that it would create another complication on the campaign trail ahead of the midterm elections.

With a nine-day trip to Asia and Australia behind him and Thanksgiving on the horizon, Obama has spent this week working out the final details of his announcement. The trip to Las Vegas brings him full circle from January 2013, when he launched a push pressuring Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform, repeating the mantra “now is the time.”

He spoke then at Del Sol High School, the same venue that local press reports say the White House has chosen for Friday’s announcement.

Republicans have been preparing to respond in large part by accusing Obama of overreach and by pointing to his repeated statements last year that he did not have the authority to act on certain pieces of immigration reform.

“If ‘Emperor Obama’ ignores the American people and announces an amnesty plan that he himself has said over and over again exceeds his Constitutional authority, he will cement his legacy of lawlessness and ruin the chances for congressional action on this issue – and many others,” Boehner spokesman Michael Steel said Wednesday.

Initial Democratic responses are more positive.

Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.) said Wednesday that Obama’s action would put him in the company of “great” presidents, including Abraham Lincoln and Harry Truman, who both used their executive authorities to expand rights for African Americans. “I think that President Obama ought to put himself alongside these … great presidents and use [an] executive order to do something big on immigration,” he said on MSNBC.
The legality of the president’s actions, Clyburn added, is up to the courts and not Congress. “Let’s let the courts decide whether it’s constitutional. That’s not for Congress to decide, that’s why we have courts to make that decision,” he said.

if anybody supports this they're actually autistic

It's because Congress is so fucking shitty that Obama is essentially backed into a corner.

It's the fucking Republicans, man.
Of course it is.  Republicans and Obama have completely different views on how things should be done.  It's naive to think that either will somehow come together to get something done.

Republicans produce bills that will "fix" the problems, but because Democrats don't want to give the impression that they don't stand with Obama on key issues, they strike down any Republican attempts at reform.

Not necessarily saying that the Republican reforms are desirable by any stretch, but that's the reality of the situation.

Obama had long held out hope that House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) would bring the bill to the floor, but when the speaker told the president that he would not be holding a vote on it in 2014, Obama vowed in a Rose Garden speech to act on his own.
Obama had initially planned to announce executive actions on immigration at the end of the summer but in September the White House said he would put off a final decision until after Election Day, amid Democrats’ concerns that it would create another complication on the campaign trail ahead of the midterm elections.

With a nine-day trip to Asia and Australia behind him and Thanksgiving on the horizon, Obama has spent this week working out the final details of his announcement. The trip to Las Vegas brings him full circle from January 2013, when he launched a push pressuring Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform, repeating the mantra “now is the time.”

He spoke then at Del Sol High School, the same venue that local press reports say the White House has chosen for Friday’s announcement.

Republicans have been preparing to respond in large part by accusing Obama of overreach and by pointing to his repeated statements last year that he did not have the authority to act on certain pieces of immigration reform.

“If ‘Emperor Obama’ ignores the American people and announces an amnesty plan that he himself has said over and over again exceeds his Constitutional authority, he will cement his legacy of lawlessness and ruin the chances for congressional action on this issue – and many others,” Boehner spokesman Michael Steel said Wednesday.

Initial Democratic responses are more positive.

Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.) said Wednesday that Obama’s action would put him in the company of “great” presidents, including Abraham Lincoln and Harry Truman, who both used their executive authorities to expand rights for African Americans. “I think that President Obama ought to put himself alongside these … great presidents and use [an] executive order to do something big on immigration,” he said on MSNBC.
The legality of the president’s actions, Clyburn added, is up to the courts and not Congress. “Let’s let the courts decide whether it’s constitutional. That’s not for Congress to decide, that’s why we have courts to make that decision,” he said.

President Barack Obama will announce this week that he is shielding about 5 million undocumented immigrants from deportation and will travel to Las Vegas for an event Friday to promote it, according to sources familiar with the planning.

Senior administration officials began calling immigration reform proponents Wednesday to fill them in on plans for the rollout and the details of the proposal.

The executive actions will cover 4 million undocumented immigrants who would qualify for deferred deportations by using criteria such as longevity in the United States and family ties, according to sources briefed on the discussions. Another 1 million would receive protection through other means, two sources said.

There will be no special protections for farm workers or parents of Dreamers — two categories that groups had lobbied hard for — because there were concerns about those pieces clearing the legal bars, sources said. However, the administration officials noted in their calls, many people who fall into those categories would qualify if they have children who are U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents. Dreamers, in contrast, are undocumented immigrants who were brought to this country by their parents as minors.

Obama could announce his plans in a prime time speech Thursday, the senior administration officials told advocates, though it’s unclear that the speech will be broadcast at that time. Top aides, meanwhile, are suggesting that the president will go big.

Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson confirmed Wednesday that Obama will make his announcement “in the coming days” and that the reforms the president puts forward will be “comprehensive.” Speaking at an event hosted by the New Democrat Network, a left-leaning think tank, Johnson said the president has “fairly wide latitude” to act under the law.

“He’s going to go as far as he can under the law,” Domestic Policy Council Director Cecilia Muñoz said Tuesday. Still, the administration acknowledges that there are limits to what he can do. “He’s going to be the first to say that it doesn’t fix everything that’s broken.”

Dawn Le, of the Alliance for Citizenship, offered a hint at the timing in an email that the AFL-CIO’s Jeff Hauser forwarded to reporters before asking them to “ignore” the previous note.

“We hear there will be a prime time Thursday evening announcement (to preview) and full unveiling in Vegas on Friday,” Le wrote. “Unclear whether Thursday night content will be what is ‘celebratory,’ but Friday will be where we need a lot of energy guaranteed.”
