The lawless immigration policy of Obama

By Frosty Wooldridge

Through reckless and unending immigration into the United States, this country will see a population growth of an added 138 million people by 2050—a scant 38 years from now.  That equates to three more states the size of California’s 38 million people. It equates to 65 more Denver, Colorado’s—or that many more people that need to be watered, fed, housed, warmed, transported and provided jobs. 

In real terms, it means the United States will not be able to sustain itself socially, environmentally, energy-wise, water or quality of life and standard of living. 

But no one “gets” the fact that that much immigration cannot be sustained

K.C. McAlpin, director of The Social Contract, www.TheSocialContract.com, features top speakers and writers on America’s immigration-population predicament.

James H. Walsh, formerly an Associate General Counsel of the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) in the U.S. Department of Justice spoke about our predicament.

“President Barack Obama, in his campaign of hope and change, is managing to circumvent the Legislative Branch of the U.S. Government,” said Walsh. “In so doing, he disrespects both the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives. To block a Republican version of the DREAM Act (Development, Education, and Relief for Alien Minors) being drafted by Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL), the President announced by decree what amounts to lawless amnesty for young illegal aliens up to 30 years of age. Increasingly the Obama administration has taken to governing by decree.

“The President, by combining charismatic oratory, news media-hyped intellectual acumen, appeals to minorities, attacks on Republican leaders, and an ultra-liberal stance, means to win re-election. The common thread of his appeal is a populist image pitting evil entrepreneurs against the middle class. All the while, he attempts to cloak his distribution-of-wealth, socialist bent in pleasant, everyman charm.

“Yet his heavy-on-rhetoric governing style has failed to deal competently with the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, with bankrupting fiscal deficit, with staggering unemployment, and with Mexican drug cartels and their henchmen crisscrossing the Southern Border.

“On the bright side, the U.S. Supreme Court, in a convoluted opinion with a scathing dissent, upheld the Affordable Care Act (ACA), better known as Obamacare. The High Court found unconstitutional the “individual mandate” that would have required those persons failing to purchase health insurance to pay an annual “penalty.” Rather than finding the law unconstitutional in part, unconstitutional in all, the Supreme Court of the United States replaced the unconstitutional “penalty” with a constitutional “tax.” This troublesome example of judicial activism may well turn out to be a pyrrhic victory for Obama and the Democrats.

“Meanwhile the Obama re-election campaign strategy depends on him keeping the minority vote that he received in 2008, with 96 percent of the black vote and 74 percent of the Hispanic vote. He can count on maintaining the black vote, but the Hispanic turnout could be problematic. The Hispanic attraction to Obama was based on his support of Comprehensive Immigration Reform (CIR) with a pathway to citizenship for illegal aliens and their extended families. Even so, he failed to deliver on his campaign promises to Hispanic voters, and they may see his Rose Garden announcement of a temporary delayed deportation of young aliens brought into the country illegally by their parents, as too little too late.”

Sliding around or by the Constitution is unlawful

“On June 19, 2009, President Obama made a short but decisive statement on Comprehensive Immigration Reform,” said Walsh. “Speaking to the Esperanza National Hispanic Prayer Breakfast and Conference, the President repeated his commitment to CIR in a re-affirmation of his unfulfilled campaign promise. Obama is now promising Hispanics and other immigrant groups CIR in the first year of his second term.

“The Obama administration realizes that the American people, as a whole, have concerns about border control and illegal alien crossings, the number of illegal aliens entering even with “enhanced “ border security, and economic slow-down in the United States. Recent polls of Hispanics residing in the United States rank jobs, fiscal stability, education, and health care ahead of immigration, which came in a distant fifth in the polling.

“Implicit in the now constitutional Obama healthcare program are health services for illegal aliens, in addition to their current emergency-room treatment. Obamacare services may be enhanced by amnesty or legalized residence or Executive Order or via the Supreme Court decision in a 1982 case, Plyer v. Doe, which held that educational benefits for the general public could not exclude illegal aliens.

“In June 2009, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, in effect, changed current U.S. immigration law by granting illegal aliens who face deportation an added ground for further appeal and delay — now they can claim “poor legal representation.””

Prosecutorial discretion

“On June 15, 2012, when President Obama delivered his Rose Garden announcement of “prosecutorial discretion” in dealing with illegal alien youth, it was nothing new,” said Walsh. “On June 17, 2011, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director John Morton had issued a Memorandum instructing U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials to exercise “prosecutorial discretion” to reduce deportations of illegal aliens.

“Then just hours before the Rose Garden announcement, DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano put the wheels in motion by instructing DHS officials to exercise “prosecutorial discretion” in dealing with illegal alien “youths” up to 30 years of age, if they met a low-level, qualifying standard.

“The President followed up with his ceremoniously announced a “prosecutorial discretion” ban on deportation actions involving illegal alien young people, legitimizing for a 2-year period (through the election) “young” illegal aliens up to 30 years of age. When did eighteen stop being the legal age of majority? For years, the nation sought to lower the age of majority, but now suddenly the Obama administration is raising it to provide for 30-year-old “youths,” many of whom may have children and some even grandchildren. He then granted work permits to these aging “youths.” Too bad there aren’t more jobs and that African-American youth unemployment is at 40 percent — problems the Obama administration has yet to resolve. By calling for “prosecutorial discretion,” President Obama circumvented the U.S. Congress and aced out Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) and his bipartisan legislative effort to lawfully provide cessation of deportation for illegal alien youths.

“When the President cannot achieve change by Executive Order or Executive fiat, he uses his cabinet to do so or his numerous “czars” unconfirmed by Congress. The Obama czar mania creates a buffer against Presidential mistakes or disasters, but it is a two-edged sword. The czars detract from congressionally approved Cabinet officers, thus placing power solely in the White House.”

Walsh brings very serious unlawful activities committed by Obama to the surface.  You care to discover more about the immigration issues facing our country, please visit www.TheSocialContract.com
