You ... might want to stick to African policy if that's your read of Latin American political history.

Nah, latin american political history is a bit more complicated than I made it--and more like African developmental policy than you'd expect.

FWIW, without developing Latin America, all immigration reform is just a band-aid and this EO is a stopgap measure to make official whats already occured.

What was he talking about with the current situation being the 'real amnesty'?

It was mostly gibberish.

EDIT: He just challenged Republicans to shut down the government. Challenge accepted, probably :sigh:

I agree with what Jon Bernstein just said on Twitter: Obama is using this speech to try to convince people who disagree on the substance. It's not gonna work.

The status quo rewards those who profit by exploitation without realistic prospect of punishment.

Fresh from Freep: Tune In to See the Constitution Destroyed! [AMNESTY by decree LIVE thread]

quote:

The way I look at it is that Barack Obama is resigning his office tonight. I mean, if the Constitution is no longer in effect, as his lawless actions infer, then he no longer holds any office, right? Seems logical to me...

quote:

Everyone who is not illegal must also apply for the Caliph's amnesty.

Oh really??? You had no american passport until the senate had to create one for you without backup docs.

quote:

He is aiding and abetting an invasion of the United States by illegal alien criminals.

The Mexican Government is complicit and should be called to account, like it was in 1846.

DECLARATION OF WAR!

Polk received word of the Thornton Affair, which, added to the Mexican government�s rejection of Slidell, Polk believed, constituted a casus belli (cause for war).[26]

His message to Congress on May 11, 1846, stated that �Mexico has passed the boundary of the United States, has invaded our territory and shed American blood upon American soil.�

Congress approved the declaration of war on May 13, with southern Democrats in strong support. Sixty-seven Whigs voted against the war on a key slavery amendment,[29] but on the final passage only 14

Whigs voted no,[29] including Rep. John Quincy Adams.

Congress declared war on Mexico on May 13, 1846, after only having a few hours to debate.

Although President Paredes�s issuance of a manifesto on May 23 is sometimes considered the declaration of war,

Mexico officially declared war by Congress on July 7.

The real 'amnesty' for them that the right keeps pushing as a thing is the system where they hide out forever and never have to pay their share because they're afraid of being deported, it's not a super hard thing.

Right! Instead, they come here and turn the areas where they settle into the same kinds of cesspools they left in their home countries.

Case in point: Los Angeles and surrounds areas.

He very clearly is speaking exclusively to foreigners, most of whom are here illegally.

�When Obama speaks he speaks as the leader of a foreign invasion� is not rhetoric, it is fact.

Revelation 911 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon [Destruction], but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon [Destroyer].

A state that shares no border with Mexico? Where's the lawsuits from Arizona or Texas?

It's amazing how angry states that have the smallest amount of illegal immigration get.

I mean California is far and away the biggest by numbers and the only people I've ever met who get super angry in SoCal are suburban San Diego conservatives Tea Party types.
