Topic category:  Immigration/Emigration

We are awaiting the eight Senators' immigration action. But some are not waiting.

The Obama administration is advancing its immigration plan, by ignoring the Constitution, bypassing Congress, and ignoring the American people.

Congressman Lamar Smith (R-Tex.) charges "...the Obama administration is cooking the books to make it look like they are enforcing immigration laws, when in reality they are enacting amnesty."

Further, he added "...President Obama and his administration continue to circumvent Congress and use executive branch authority to allow illegal immigrants to remain in the U.S." He added, they have "...made clear that it plans not to use but abuse these powers...the Obama administration cannot continue to pick and choose which laws it will enforce. It is outrageous that they have put illegal immigrants and their liberal political base ahead of the American people."

What that means to the millions of American workers, is they will have to be content in placing second to jobs, discounted college tuition costs and drivers' licenses.

Obama is going behind the backs of American citizens. He is not heralding these benefits. He is using 'executive privilege', 'administrative measures' and 'prosecutorial direction'. It is also a slap in the face of the thousands of people all over the world who get in line, fill out the paper work, and wait their turn to be able to enter the country the right way.

We know that the mere mention of amnesty acts as a magnet for more illegal immigration.

What 'payoffs' will be provided for illegal aliens?

Refusing to prosecute illegal aliens in 'sanctuary cities', by invoking 'executive privilege', 'administrative measures', 'prosecutorial discretion' to subvert the immigration laws and promoting the DREAM Act, which puts illegal aliens ahead of American students.

Apparently, two of the most powerful entities are strongly manipulating their will in Congress. They are the U.S. Chamber of Chamber and the AFL-CIO. Two entities with enormous power and money.

Thomas J. Donohue is president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Isn't the chamber looking out for America’s interest? Perhaps, at one time, but this is not the chamber of old. Donohue travels by chauffeured limousine, and is ferried by a leased jet. At $4.7 million per year in 2010, it makes him the sixth highest paid lobbyist in the country. He’s been known to remark 'Show me the money'. He was for the Law Of the Sea Treaty (LOST), saying: "So if we want to be isolationists, if we want everybody else to have to have the opportunity to deal in these issues without us then maybe we’re doing the right thing. But, I don't think so".

The AFL-CIO has deep pockets, also, and is intent on making money from illegal aliens. Richard Trumka heads the union. At $272,250 in salary he makes about eight times the pay of the workers in his union. His union membership has dipped in recent years. Meanwhile, Trumka vows: "The entire labor movement is united around this issue and we will continue to fight for immigration reform."

Both Donohue and Trumka are globalists.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the AFL-CIO has apparently come together because they will profit from employing illegal aliens . . .there is money to be made.

There are twenty-three million American looking for jobs. They don’t have a chance if illegal aliens get those jobs.

Perhaps, Obama doesn’t care about the cost of illegal aliens, which is more than $113 BILLION a year.

The Chamber of Commerce and the AFL-CIO vehemently support the illegal aliens.

Schumer, Durbin, Menendez, and Bennet are salivating at the sight of millions of illegal aliens voting for Democrats. Flake, Rubio, Graham and McCain are illegal aliens' friends. Flake and McCain are willing to be amnesty's advocates, while Graham and Rubio have been told that it is a good deal for them.

These are the senators who are willing to have millions of illegal aliens in this country. Nobody knows how many are currently in the country. Nobody knows how close we are to having the border closed. Until these two questions are answered, we should get the numbers.
