Obama inc. has been teasing a return of America's worst president forever. We were told he would "finally" speak out when President Trump and Attorney General Sessions decided to slowly wind down his illegal alien amnesty aka DACA aka Dreams of Illegal Alien Amnesty. What we got was a Facebook statement which conveniently promotes his own forum. It's no coincidence that this comes after his letter to Trump became a news story. It's all part of the rollout for Obama's midterm campaign.
Anyone could have predicted that Obama's statement on DACA would be...
1. Dishonest
2. Self-righteous
3. Condescending
4. Hypocritical
And no one is surprised that it's another "this isn't who we are" lecture followed by appeals to some imaginary center by a radical leftist who ruled unilaterally. So cue the tape.
Immigration can be a controversial topic. We all want safe, secure borders and a dynamic economy, and people of goodwill can have legitimate disagreements about how to fix our immigration system so that everybody plays by the rules.
But that’s not what the action that the White House took today is about.
I like how we can have "legitimate disagreements" about things. But not about Obama's DREAM amnesty. There are no legitimate disagreements (at least among people of goodwill) about an illegal and legally indefensible plan to implement illegal alien amnesty while bypassing Congress.
This summons flashbacks of the Obama years in which people of goodwil also couldn't have legitimate disagreements about ObamaCare, race riots or wrecking the economy by going deep into debt.
I'll skip over the lecture on how wonderful the illegal aliens he decided to amnesty are. Or maybe not.
This is about young people who grew up in America – kids who study in our schools, young adults who are starting careers, patriots who pledge allegiance to our flag. These Dreamers are Americans in their hearts, in their minds
I'm going to go ahead and question whether Salvador Diaz-Garcia is really American in his heart.
A man who was living in the United States on a Dreamer status is accused of raping a teenager while she was working out at her apartment complex's gym.
Salvador Diaz-Garcia, 23, faces charges of rape and assault from a horrific attack where an unnamed 19-year-old woman was raped and badly beaten on June 25.
The victim returned home following the assault wearing only a tank top with 'extensive injuries', including missing teeth, a ripped ear and a broken jaw, according to the King County Sheriff's Office.
Diaz-Garcia also faces child molestation charges for allegedly assaulting a 14-year-old girl on the same day the 19-year-old was raped.
Police reported that at the gym, they found blood covering the front of the treadmill, carpet and walls.
Officials believe the victim was hit over the head with a kettlebell, which was covered in blood.
Thanks Obama.
I certainly hope the victim of this Obama assault didn't lose her health insurance due to ObamaCare. But anyway back to Barack Hussein Obama explaining why he had to become a dictator.
Over the years, politicians of both parties have worked together to write legislation that would have told these young people – our young people – ... And for years while I was President, I asked Congress to send me such a bill.
That bill never came.
Sure.
This is how our system of government works. If Congress doesn't send the President the bill that he wants, he's allowed to do anything he wants. Anything. It's in the Constitution. The one that only Judge Derrick Watson in Hawaii and ISIS, have access to.
my administration acted to lift the shadow of deportation from these young people, so that they could continue to contribute to our communities and our country. We did so based on the well-established legal principle of prosecutorial discretion
Obama can't stop lying. It's some sort of disease. But it helps that the media never calls him out on it.
The President sets deportation priorities. If Obama hadn't wanted children of illegal aliens deported, all he had to do was say the word. Instead he created an infrastructure for partially legalizing them.
He did so illegally. And, just as with ObamaCare, unsustainably. But he was gambling that Republicans wouldn't have the guts to take away what he had illegally given. And we'll see if they do.
But this wasn't about shielding anyone from deportation. It was amnesty. Illegal amnesty for illegal aliens.
And when Obama trots out nonsense about prosecutorial discretion, he insults even the limited intelligence of his supporters.
Prosecutorial discretion means that if Obama hadn't wanted to prosecute cocaine use, he could have chosen not to do so. The DREAMER equivalent for cocaine would be if Obama had announced that cocaine was legal and then set up a cocaine distribution center in every Federal facility.
To target these young people is wrong – because they have done nothing wrong.
They're in this country illegally. That's wrong. If they're responsible adults, then they are doing something wrong.
It is self-defeating – because they want to start new businesses, staff our labs, serve in our military,
And beat and rape women in gyms...
What if our kid’s science teacher, or our friendly neighbor turns out to be a Dreamer?
What if the man beating a woman's head in with a kettlebell and tearing her ear off turns out to be a Dreamer?
Let’s be clear: the action taken today isn’t required legally
Yes, it actually is. Otherwise it wouldn't have happened. Obama's DREAM amnesty is illegal.
we shouldn’t threaten the future of this group of young people .... who are not taking away anything from the rest of us.
They're taking away jobs from Americans. That's something they have in common with Obama.
Kicking them out won’t lower the unemployment rate, or lighten anyone’s taxes, or raise anybody’s wages.
Only one way to find out.
Ultimately, this is about basic decency.
I agree.
It's about the basic decency of following our laws, of rewarding those who do things legally, of protecting the people who are actual citizens, of preventing lawless abuse of power by the White House and of telling the truth.
It's about basic decency. Obama has none.
