Obama’s parting shot - 34 million NEW green cards.

You idiot.

It was immigration from Europe and Europe ONLY, that was responsible for the USA becoming the richest, most powerful country in the world.

Our (continuing) decline began with the traitorous Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, which opened up our county to mass immigration from third world, low IQ, piss-pot countries.

Now Obama wants to finish us up completely by granting US citizenship to the millions of illegal criminal drug-dealing trash that crossed our open borders.

Don't get all righteous on me. And don't try to lay a big guilt trip on those of us who want our border sealed to keep the dregs of third-world countries out. Of course I DON'T blame illegal aliens for coming here and taking advantage of the corrupt political system. Of course I would do the same if I were in their shoes. But it's absolutely true that you just CAN NOT have open borders and a socialistic welfare state. You CAN NOT survive as a strong country when you continually increase entitlements. Eventually, as Margaret Thatcher famously said, "The problem with socialism that eventually you run out of other people's money." When more horses are sitting in the wagon than pulling it, eventually the whole thing comes to a stop. And when that stop comes, it's gonna be real ugly. If you're much younger than me, unfortunately you'll get to see it because it's coming.

Or a block of wood in the shape of a lower case t?

Never knew it was Europeans who formed the backbone of the South's agriculture workforce in those first few American decades.

So exactly when did the RMS Steamship Bigotanic drop your worthless grandparents off at Ellis Island?

Obama is scheduled to leave office in January 2017. It is now October 2014. The President is not much more than 40% of the way into his term. How, then, is this a "parting shot"?

I guess I should prepare for Lebron James' 2014-2015 "farewell NBA" tour, as well as the retirement party Andrew Luck is putting in place.

It looks like the Republicans are going to take over the legislative branch next month which will end what little he could do which effectively ends his presidency. Lame earlier than usual.

Yeah, they were fine for picking cotton, but none feature in the 66 Nobel prizes the USA has won for Physics, the 50 won for Chemistry, or the 72 won for Medicine.

It is interesting to notice that the other countries that supplied the bulk of the brainpower sufficient to win the Nobel prizes that really count, come from the countries that originally colonised us - the European countries.

Oh, Obama did win the Nobel Peace Prize and the rest of the world hasn’t stopped laughing since.

You're an immigrant as is everyone else who's replied on this thread.

"At least 4 million per year for five years". If you haven't noticed Obama won't be in charge for the next five years. A Reagan type amnesty for 9 or 10 million has been talked about for years.

You need to look up the definition of the word immigrant.

And others are taking it fair and square.

Mark my words. When its all said and done with the immigration debate an immigration law is going to pass and we will have two things:

1. A government spending boondoggle where we spend billions for a "wall" on the southern border.

2. An easing on any and all restrictions on immigration. Basically letting illegals be legal.

In short, Corporate American gets everything they want...again, while the American people lose.

And none were among the priests who are fond of diddling alter boys.

We know what ancestry those belong to,don't we ?

The Washington Times more eloquently confirms my comments:

The White House intended to remain silent about its plans for immigration.

Revealing a scheme to open the floodgates of amnesty would be disastrous on the eve of the critical midterm elections. But this is the gang that can’t shoot straight.

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services on Friday threw open the door to as many as 100,000 Haitians, who will now move into the United States without a visa. Sen. Chuck Grassley, Iowa Republican, rightly and accurately denounced enabling Haitians awaiting a U.S. visa to enter the country and legally apply for work permits as “an irresponsible overreach of the executive branch’s authority.”

That was just the beginning. The immigration agency earlier this month had solicited a printer able to handle a “surge” of 9 million green cards “to support possible future immigration-reform initiative requirements.”

In an ordinary year, about 1 million green cards are issued, and over the life of this contract the company is expected to produce up to 34 million cards, a figure representing an increase of the population of the United States by 10 percent.

The cards do not come with automatic voter registration, but that’s obviously what the scheme portends. President Obama’s promised “executive actions” to bring about this enormous wave of amnesty constitute a transparent and cynical ploy to expand the Democratic voter base, creating a permanent majority.

Republicans running for the House and Senate should demand that Mr. Obama lay his green cards on the table now, before — and not after — the Nov. 4 elections.

No other campaign issue carries as much of an impact on the future of the nation.

In economic terms, importing millions of unskilled workers creates competition for the diminishing number of available jobs.

Combine a flooded job market with the Democratic proposals for a doubling of the minimum wage to $15 an hour, and millions more American citizens will be without a job.

Those who do have jobs will pay to provide federal freebies, from Obamaphones to Obamacare, to the formerly illegal aliens now with a green card.

As the recent influx of minor children over the southern border demonstrates, word of amnesty on the way travels fast. Handing green cards to those who cheated the system and entered the country illegally creates an incentive to millions more to follow in their path, collecting as many benefits as possible along the way. It’s a disaster in the making — indeed already here — for public health and national security, straining the welfare state to its limit.

Most Americans want no part of this.

A Gallup survey finds that 74 percent of Americans want the level of immigration to stay where it is, or reduce it. Mr. Obama has no support for his amnesty scheme except from those who want to transform America into a nation that no one would recognize. Voters can get to work on stopping the transformation on Nov. 4.

Oh, you mean the people with most access to education and financial resources have the best record in the Nobel Prizes in sciences? Go figure.

If the Mesopotamians hadn't invented writing and agriculture, Europe would still be awash in wild men wearing bear skins with painted faces. Thank goodness for them.

If they were to come to Canada, yes they might be taking more than producing. But this is the US, where all immigrants get a pat on the back, and are wished, "good luck". And that is pretty much it. No healthcare, no real welfare, poor schools, no housing. Nothing, zip, nada.

Really?

Look at Obama's ILLEGAL relatives here and look at the list of welfare benefits they received.

Section 8, snap/EBT cards, direct welfare payments, free Heathcare, susidized school programs and a myriad of a local and city programs are available for legal and illegal immigrants.

I know someone already jumped on this, but illegals aren't eligible for SNAP or direct welfare payments. Even legal, non-citizen, immigrants don't qualify until after a 5-10 year waiting period (depending on category).

The House has been shut down since '10.

Immigrants are needed to keep Social Security afloat. Billions are being pumped into the fund by people who will never collect, to the benefit of the vast baby boom generation and those who follow. Politicians know this.

As to the guy who says immigrants don't pay taxes -- huh? Are you dumb? Just try and live life in the USA without paying taxes. It's impossible. I'll give you that some employers pay immigrants cash under the table, but that's the boss's policy, not the immigrants. Plus, that happens all over this country for people who aren't immigrants. I can find some guy on Craigslist to cut down a tree and pay him cash and avoid any sort of tax. Welcome to the underground economy.

For the rest of it? Buy junk food, pay taxes. Buy gasoline, pay gas taxes. Rent a house/apt, you're paying property tax via your rent. Buy a beer or a pack of smokes? Sin taxes. Go out to dinner? Entertainment tax. General purchase? Sales tax. New or used car? Excise taxes. You can't avoid taxes in this country. Illegals pay taxes, they pay them at about the same rate as other poor people.

Headline:

Thirty Percent of U.S. Nobel Laureates Are Foreign-born

Since only between 5 and 15% of the US population as a whole is foreign-born, it would seem like immigrants are 2 to 6 times more likely to win a Nobel prize than those born here.

If we are going to start giving citizenship based on brainpower, we should start getting rid of some of the people who live here now and bring in more immigrants.

20.8% of Canadians are immigrants and they consistently outperform Canadian born citizens in education and creating new business. All major political parties acknowledge the economic benefits of high immigration and opinion polls conclude that the majority of Canadians support continued immigration. Maybe this is why middle-class Canadians are better off than their American counterparts.
