DAMN YOU OBAMA!!!
get lost, at least he has the balls to do something to try and fix part of this mess. The GOP congress has announced they will do NOTHING about immigration for the next 2 years and are furious because Obama dares to come up with temporary solutions to parts of the immigration puzzle.
If the GOP had any balls they would tackle this problem and pass an immigration bill that will fix all the holes including border security, a guest worker program that meets America's cheap labor needs, and a way for the 11 million undocumented already here to become legal taxpaying residents. If any of these parts are left out, the entire process falls apart.
You should be furious at the GOP for refusing to fix this problem. They don't want to upset their base by taking care of the problem, so they have become cowards and refuse to touch the issue. Is this what you wanted? a GOP congress that refuses to solve problems? well you got it.
Note to libtards. Democrats have controlled at least 2 of 3 branches of government the last 6 years.
Benghazi!
Riiiggghhhttttt......and Obama is now in a rush all the sudden. Why the hell hasn't he done anything when he easily could have in the last few years. It's all crap. The worst war being fought is rt here in America, democrats vs republicans. Have we not had enough of this crap? When is it enough?
"this huge influx of mostly low-skill workers...threatens to depress further the wages of blue-collar Americans and put strains on an already overburdened safety net.”
Barack Obama, "The Audacity of Hope"
Ok libtards, carry on...
in a rush? he has been waiting for congress to take action for the past 6 years. He had the Democratic led Senate pass an immigration bill 4 years ago which still sits in the GOP led House because Bohener refuses to even bring it to a vote. Obama has been asking for an immigration bill to arrive at his desk so he can sign it, but the GOP refuse to do a thing. America has waited long enough for a proper well balanced immigration bill that replaces the old, outdated one that obviously is not working for anyone. How much longer can this country bear this deteriorating issue? Something has to be done. At least Obama is doing whatever is in his legal power to try and mend parts of this much bigger issue. Yes, Obama had control of the House and Senate for 2 years, but during those tow years his priority was the Affordable Care Act. Should it have been immigration? perhaps, but for him it wasn't. What about the GOP? when has Immigration been their priority? NEVER and it NEVER will be. They are content with leaving the current system as is. I think one thing we can all agree on is that the current system cannot be left as is. It's creating problems no matter on what side of the issue you find yourself. I'm glad Obama is at least doing something even if it's something small and temporary with his executive orders. It's a small step in the right direction.

Hey, I was going to give you credit for remembering to use the word, 'libtard'. But then you said this:
"Democrats have controlled at least 2 of 3 branches of government the last 6 years."
So here is the question. Do you even know what the 3 branches of the US government are?
During Obamas first election he ran on an immigration reform platform and told us that this would be the first thing he if elected him to office. After his election win he had both the senate and the house as a democrat majority for his first 2 years. He did absolutely nothing on immigration.
Why is immigration finally so important to him now?
The senate bill on immigration passed with bi-partisan support. It's not like nothing has been done for the past 6 years. The bill languishes in the house.
And, I'll tell you why now. He is doing it because it is the right thing to do. It is the right thing to do for our country and it is the right thing to do for those living here in an undocumented limbo. He clearly held off on action leading up to the election because he was afraid of hurting dems chances in the mid terms.
Immigrants start businesses at a higher rate than native born
Immigrants commit crime at lower rates than native born
Let's look closer at the republican lie machine
Fact:We lead the world in oil production, for the first time since the 70's
Lie: Obama is crippling our oil industry
Fact: Deportations of undocumented immigrants are at an all time high
Lie: Obama has thrown open the borders to criminals and anchor baby squirting mammacitas.
Fact: 85 straight months of job growth
Lie: Obamacare is ruining the economy
If GWB were still in office and had these stats, he'd be a hero.
So, our President is going to do a lesser version of the amnesty granted by other noted leftists as Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush in their own executive actions?
You should just stick with: Benghazi libtards feminazi birth certificate Benghazi Benghazi scary negroes with power ebola Benghazi be scared be scare be scared be scared.

Notice how it says "I supported this bill"? That's the difference. Emperor Obama decrees...
