Nothing puts Obama's pettiness on display more than what he is doing to and in the State of Arizona.

Editor’s notes:  The pettiness of our current Over Lord,  is becoming legend.  Now AND OBVIOUSLY,  because Jan Brewer dared to challenge Obama’s intentions and immigration/borderless strategies,  he has taken to dumping thousands of [mostly] illegals from Central America,  into the State of Arizona,  all without a word,  to date,  from the blotted Republican Senator,  John McCain.  There really isn’t much to say in addition to the news story,  itself.  If the reader cannot see the pettiness of our first Revenge President,  and his blatant strategy to open the borders,  especially the southern border,  to all who want to move into these United States,  then,  there is no hope for the end of the anarchy we are presently watching.  Understand one thing,  by the time we get to a “comprehensive immigration law,”  there will be 20 to 30 million illegals in this country.  It is a fact,  that,  four years ago,  the illegal immigrant population was,  indeed,  estimated to be 20-30 million.  Only in recent times,  has the Marxist Left,  lowered that estimate, with the hopes that the reduced number will make legislation a more amenable process.  “11 million” is a lie,  but it has become the accepted number.  Certainly,  given enough time,  and,  because the “word is out” that the US border is no longer closed,  the influx population will total an unimaginable number.  That is quickly becoming the case in Arizona. 

Fox News because none in the Marxist Media will make this report:

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer said Friday she is “disturbed and outraged” after she was informed by federal officials that not only has the government been shipping illegal immigrants out of Texas and “dumping” them in her state, it has no plans to stop.

Federal officials told Brewer Friday that the practice will continue for the foreseeable future, and this weekend more than 1,000 illegal immigrant children will be “dumped” in Arizona. Adults and family units will also arrive, though Brewer was not told how many, her office said.

Reports first surfaced last week that scores of illegal immigrants in Texas were being flown, bused and then abandoned out of state in Arizona and elsewhere. After learning of the practice, Brewer sent a scathing letter to the president on Monday posing a string of questions about the policy. Brewer said Friday what little she has  learned since then has made her even more concerned.

This is a crisis of the federal government’s creation, and the fact that the border remains unsecure – now apparently intentionally – while this operation continues full-steam ahead is deplorable,” she said in a statement.

Brewer said the federal government never formally informed her administration of the practice and has never explained it.

Brewer said she has demanded answers from Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, and is again calling on President Obama to terminate the practice.

“I am disturbed and outraged that President Obama’s administration continues to implement this dangerous and inhumane policy, meanwhile neglecting to answer crucial questions our citizens demand and deserve,” she said.

Before the serious debate from the Left about immigaration reform, 20 to 30 million immigrants; aft serious efforts began, Left touts (only) 11 million immigrants in country. Why?

Here is what will be and is,  wrong with Democrat immigration reform:  1) It will put reform and amnesty ahead of border security; 2) there will be no cap on future immigration into this country from our southern border; 3) as many as 40 million immigrants will be effected,  not the bogus 11 million,  being touted as the official estimate from the Left; 4) under Democrat/Obama rule,  the new law,  should it be written,  will be ignored as the Dems see fit,  effecting and affecting a borderless national pathology;  5) under Obama,  de facto amnesty  is already the case,  and the promise of amnesty** is creating so large a border crossing, as we speak,   that our border patrol is nearly and completely overwhelmed as per the video report on the Kelly Files.

**  Understand that "amnesty" and "path to citizenship" are two very different things, or should be. The concern of the Conservative Nation is that Progressive Socialists will use "amnesty"  (the right to remain in this country until citizenship requirements can be fulfilled),   as a de facto path to citizenship.  Their argument will be:  "It is not fair that these people cannot vote while waiting in line to become citizens.  Let's give them that right, now,  and all the benefits of citizenship,  since they have entered the process to become Americans,  already."  The reader needs to accept reality,  at this point.  Socialist Progressives,  believing that the "ends always justifies the means,"  cannot be trusted with the application of any law that can be turned into a political plus for the advancement of their world view.   

You should know that the waiting period,  admittedly too long,  insures that these "new citizens" will have been exposed to our laws,  and our reverence for US Constitutional law  . . . .  considerations the Radical Left does not honor.

Related news from Breitbard.com:   

Facing pressure from immigrant advocates and seeking to fulfill a commitment to “transparency,” Customs and Border Protection Friday released a consultant review of its officers’ use of force and a revised Use of Force Policy handbook.

“This release and, most importantly, the policy and training changes they represent are the beginning of a continuous review of our responsibility to only use force when it is necessary to protect people,” CBP Commissioner R. Gil Kerlikowske said.

According to CBP, the handbook revisions used "most" of the recommendations from the commissioned Police Executive Research Forum (PERF) review, which encouraged placing more limits on the use of force based on a review of 67 use of force incidents from January 2010 through October 2012, as well as an Inspector General review.

Why "dishonesty as a policy" will kill immigration reform

Editor’s notes:  While the article excerpt, below, speaks for itself,  the fact remains that successful immigration reform requires (1) trust that Obama and the Democrats will follow the law as passed, (2) begin the process of passage with a demonstrable respect for GOP opinion on the issue (since the GOP represents more than half the nation,  on this issue),  and  (3), effective border security be an effective and provable process, as a trigger for the implementation of the remainder of the law.  The Democrats pulled a “bait and switch” on this last issue,  back in the Reagan days,  a mistake of trust Reagan regretted to his death. 

I cannot over-emphasize the importance of “trust” in all this.  I personally do not believe that a party (the Socialist/Progressive Democrats) that has as its primary legislative tool,  the notion that the ends justify the means,  should be trusted at any level.  It is clear,  after years of product,  that the Democrat Party will say and do anything to get a bill passed into law,  only to apply that law in whatever manner they deem appropriate.  While “all politicians lie,”  only the Progressive Socialist reformers embrace the rule,  “the end result always justifies the means used to effect that result,”  as a matter of course.    In the book,  Rules for Radicals,  Saul Alinsky dedicated the entire first chapter (after his “introduction”) to a rationalization of  “ends and means.”  

Understand that the Marxist reformation rule of  “ends by any means” allows a political party to promise “you can keep your doctor,  your insurance, your hospital.”  It allows that party to promise lower rates and universal coverage  . . . . . . when NONE of the above was ever true,  in their minds.  Knowing that they had to say such things to get the bill through congress,  simply means that they cannot be trusted at all.  The Obama Progressives are as corrupt a political collective,  as we have ever witnessed  in our 236 year history as a nation. 

If Boehner is true to his words,  we have nothing to fear.  But if he embraces “ends and means” to any degree,  then honest governance has been abandoned and change is demanded,  even to the point of civil unrest.  Like “they” love to say,  over and over and over and over,  “No justice,  no peace.” 

from The Hill:  Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) has a pretty good idea of what immigration reform in the House is going to look like. He just doesn’t know when it’s going to happen.

Addressing the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce on Monday in San Antonio, Boehner said he wanted to overhaul the nation’s immigration laws “in chunks” over a period of a week or two to a month. The process would likely begin with border security measures, and it would address the crucial question of citizenship for illegal immigrants in a way that he said would “pass the straight-face test” for people who have already gone through the arduous process legally.

But none of that will happen, Boehner reiterated, until President Obama builds back trust with Republicans in Congress.

And in that respect, little has changed in the months since the Speaker released a set of policy principles to his conference only to have his members resist his push to move forward with actual immigration legislation.

“We’re at a point where my colleagues don’t trust that the president will implement the law the way we would see it passed,” Boehner said Monday. “So I’ve put the ball back in the president’s court. He’s going to do something to demonstrate some level of trustworthiness.”

He suggested Obama had missed an opportunity to do that when he did not respond to a letter from Republican leaders outlining areas where they wanted to work together – a set of ideas that included worker training and education but not immigration.

As things stand, today, Paul Ryan is the only candidate that can win nomination in 2016. Here is why:

Difference between the McCain lead Senate bill on immigration and theRyan lead House bill on immigration:

Brietbart gives us reason to comment with these words:    ". . . .   House Budget Committee chair Paul Ryan is pressing ahead with efforts to pass an immigration bill. Whereas Republicans in the Senate's "Gang of Eight" sought the most liberal bill they could get away with, Ryan is trying to craft the most conservative proposal that can pass both houses."

Notes:  Too bad Marco Rubio got roped in with McCain and his compromising “moderate” agenda as to reforming the GOP.  I honestly believe he (Rubio) meant well but now that the Senate version is written,  I doubt he will be able to regain the luster he had before this immigration push.  Remember,  his initially stated positions were very agreeable from a conservative point of view,  but his insistence for border control as a trigger for moving on with an approved  immigration legislative schedule was never something McCain or Graham,  or Perv Menendez, or our near commie legislator, Dick Durbin,  or the man with the deceiving smile,  Charles Schumer had in mind  -----   and they all have much more experience playing the political game than our honest and well meaning Rubio. 

Let’s be careful not to roll Paul Ryan into this pathetic and comprising cabal.  Understand that the RINO Herd, in  the Senate, believes that the lingering immigration issue is very bad for the GOP,  unless (from their point of view) they can get this bit of reform passed and behind them.  

Ryan is not of the same mindset.  In fact,  he has made it clear that the House will not even consider the Senate bill,  in floor or committee debate.  He and House leadership will draft their own legislation and send it back to the Senate.  No one really knows where Boehner stands on this issue,  but if he is agreeable to the Ryan process,  we have a hero in the Grand Old Party . . . namely,  Paul Ryan.  

Exactly, what does the "Gang of Eight" have in mind when it comes to immigration reform? Here is their statement:

The frustrating truth of the current immigration problem is found in the fact that more than 11 million undocumented and/or illegal folks live in the United States.  That number may be as high as 20 million.  But,  whatever the reality,  one thing if for certain,  the solution is not to be found in hostile round-up and forced [mass] deportation.  If you have to ask, “Why not,”  you really do not understand the complexities of the issue or,  perhaps,  you just don’t give a damn. 

The following statement,  is the first outline of a promising immigration reform policy.  It sets up real reform of the current immigration legal system;  it opens a path to citizenship that requires payment of back taxes,  fines, learning the English language,  and standing in line,  behind those who came to this country first. 

Read the plan and see what you think.  But,  as you read,  understand that this document appears to be a serious effort at solving the problem.  We conservatives should approach this reform with caution, but not out-of-hand rejection.  Amnesty is not a part of this documented approach.  Caution,  of course,  should be taken to prevent de facto amnesty,  however.    Hopefully our conservative leadership will work to prevent this from being the case.  The next election hinges,  in large part on (a) the details of this reform and (b) the popularity of the misinformation crowd.  Take it to the bank,  those who oppose a just immigration policy will offer no practical solutions.  We cannot have as our only goal,  stopping distasteful and/or unConstitutional legislation without providing reform suggestions that can meet with the approval of the people.   While I might sound like a sniveling liberal,  actually,  my concerns include a demand that this problem find a solution, that my side of the aisle raise real objections,  not false charges that keep us all stuck on zero,  and that we work together with the Lefties to overcome the more serious barriers to this reform.     

We should accept the stated effort of this ad hoc committee:  Our legislation acknowledges these realities by finally committing the resources needed to secure the border, modernize and streamline our current legal immigration system, while creating a tough but fair legalization program for individuals who are currently here. We will ensure that this is a successful permanent reform to our immigration system that will not need to be revisited.   ---  Midknight Review editor.  

Bipartisan Framework for Comprehensive Immigration Reform

Senators Schumer, McCain, Durbin, Graham, Menendez, Rubio, Bennet, and Flake

Introduction

We recognize that our immigration system is broken. And while border security has improved significantly over the last two Administrations, we still don’t have a functioning immigration system. This has created a situation where up to 11 million undocumented immigrants are living in the shadows. Our legislation acknowledges these realities by finally committing the resources needed to secure the border, modernize and streamline our current legal immigration system, while creating a tough but fair legalization program for individuals who are currently here. We will ensure that this is a successful permanent reform to our immigration system that will not need to be revisited.

Four Basic Legislative Pillars:

1.      Create a tough but fair path to citizenship for unauthorized immigrants currently living in the United States that is contingent upon securing our borders and tracking whether legal immigrants have left the country when required;

2.     Reform our legal immigration system to better recognize the importance of characteristics that will help build the American economy and strengthen American families;

3.      Create an effective employment verification system that will prevent identity theft and end the hiring of future unauthorized workers; and,

4.      Establish an improved process for admitting future workers to serve our nation’s workforce needs, while simultaneously protecting all workers.

I.                   Creating a Path to Citizenship for Unauthorized Immigrants Already Here that is Contingent Upon Securing the Border and Combating Visa Overstays

 Our legislation will provide a tough, fair, and practical roadmap to address the status of unauthorized immigrants in the United States that is contingent upon our success in securingour borders and addressing visa overstays.

 To fulfill the basic governmental function of securing our borders, we will continue the increased efforts of the Border Patrol by providing them with the latest technology, infrastructure, and personnel needed to prevent, detect, and apprehend every unauthorized entrant.

 Additionally, our legislation will increase the number of unmanned aerial vehicles and surveillance equipment, improve radio interoperability and increase the number of agents at and between ports of entry. The purpose is to substantially lower the number of successful illegal border crossings while continuing to facilitate commerce.

 We will strengthen prohibitions against racial profiling and inappropriate use of force, enhance the training of border patrol agents, increase oversight, and create a mechanism to ensure a meaningful opportunity for border communities to share input, including critiques.

 Our legislation will require the completion of an entry-exit system that tracks whether all persons entering the United States on temporary visas via airports and seaports have left the country as required by law.

 We recognize that Americans living along the Southwest border are key to recognizing and understanding when the border is truly secure. Our legislation will create a commission comprised of governors, attorneys general, and community leaders living along the Southwest border to monitor the progress of securing our border and to make a recommendation regarding when the bill’s security measures outlined in the legislation are completed.

 While these security measures are being put into place, we will simultaneously require those who came or remained in the United States without our permission to register with the government. This will include passing a background check and settling their debt to society by paying a fine and back taxes, in order to earn probationary legal status, which will allow them to live and work legally in the United States. Individuals with a serious criminal background or others who pose a threat to our national security will be ineligible for legal status and subject to deportation. Illegal immigrants who have committed serious crimes face immediate deportation.

 We will demonstrate our commitment to securing our borders and combating visa overstays by requiring our proposed enforcement measures be complete before any immigrant on probationary status can earn a green card

 Current restrictions preventing non-immigrants from accessing federal public benefits will also apply to lawful probationary immigrants.

 Once the enforcement measures have been completed, individuals with probationary legal status will be required to go to the back of the line of prospective immigrants, pass an additional background check, pay taxes, learn English and civics, demonstrate a history of work in the United States, and current employment, among other requirements, in order to earn the opportunity to apply for lawful permanent residency. Those individuals who successfully complete these requirements can eventually earn a green card.

 Individuals who are present without lawful status - not including people within the two categories identified below - will only receive a green card after every individual who is already waiting in line for a green card, at the time this legislation is enacted, has received their green card. Our purpose is to ensure that no one who has violated America’s immigration laws will receive preferential treatment as they relate to those individuals who have complied with the law.

 Our legislation also recognizes that the circumstances and the conduct of people without lawful status are not the same, and cannot be addressed identically.

-          For instance, individuals who entered the United States as minor children did not knowingly choose to violate any immigration laws. Consequently, under our proposal these individuals will not face the same requirements as other individuals in order to earn a path to citizenship.

-         Similarly, individuals who have been working without legal status in the United States agricultural industry have been performing very important and difficult work to maintain America’s food supply while earning subsistence wages. Due to the utmost importance in our nation maintaining the safety of its food supply, agricultural workers who commit to the long term stability of our nation’s agricultural industries will be treated differently than the rest of the undocumented population because of the role they play in ensuring that Americans have safe and secure agricultural products to sell and consume. These individuals will earn a path to citizenship through a different process under ournew agricultural worker program.

II.                 Improving our Legal Immigration System and Attracting the World’s Best and Brightest

 The development of a rational legal immigration system is essential to ensuring America’s future economic prosperity. Our failure to act is perpetuating a broken system which sadly discourages the world’s best and brightest citizens from coming to the United States and remaining in our country to contribute to our economy. This failure makes a legal path to entry in the United States insurmountably difficult for well-meaning immigrants. This unarguably discourages innovation and economic growth. It has also created substantial visa backlogs which force families to live apart, which incentivizes illegal immigration.

 Our new immigration system must be more focused on recognizing the important characteristics which will help build the American economy and strengthen American families. Additionally, we must reduce backlogs in the family and employment visa categories so that future immigrants view our future legal immigration system as the exclusive means for entry into the United States.

 The United States must do a better job of attracting and keeping the world’s best and brightest. As such, our immigration proposal will award a green card to immigrants who have received a PhD or Master’s degree in science, technology, engineering, or math from an American university. It makes no sense to educate the world’s future innovators and entrepreneurs only to ultimately force them to leave our country at the moment they are most able to contribute to our economy.

III.              Strong Employment Verification

 We recognize that undocumented immigrants come to the United States almost exclusively for jobs. As such, dramatically reducing future illegal immigration can only be achieved by developing a tough, fair, effective and mandatory employment verification system. An employment verification system must hold employers accountable for knowingly hiring undocumented workers and make it more difficult for unauthorized immigrants to falsify documents to obtain employment. Employers who knowingly hire unauthorized workers must face stiff fines and criminal penalties for egregious offenses.

 We believe the federal government must provide U.S. employers with a fast and reliable method to confirm whether new hires are legally authorized to work in the United States. This is essential to ensure the effective enforcement of immigration laws.

 Our proposal will create an effective employment verification system which prevents identity theft and ends the hiring of future unauthorized workers. We believe requiring prospective workers to demonstrate both legal status and identity, through non-forgeable electronic means prior to obtaining employment, is essential to an employee verification system; and,

 The employee verification system in our proposal will be crafted with procedural safeguardsto protect American workers, prevent identity theft, and provide due process protections.

IV.              Admitting New Workers and Protecting Workers’ Rights

 The overwhelming majority of the 327,000 illegal entrants apprehended by CBP in FY2011 were seeking employment in the United States. We recognize that to prevent future waves of illegal immigration a humane and effective system needs to be created for these immigrant workers to enter the country and find employment without seeking the aid of human traffickers or drug cartels.

 Our proposal will provide businesses with the ability to hire lower-skilled workers in a timely manner when Americans are unavailable or unwilling to fill those jobs.

 Our legislation would:

1.      Allow employers to hire immigrants if it can be demonstrated that they were unsuccessful in recruiting an American to fill an open position and the hiring of an immigrant will not displace American workers;

2.      Create a workable program to meet the needs of America’s agricultural industry, including dairy to find agricultural workers when American workers are not available to fill open positions;

3.      Allow more lower-skilled immigrants to come here when our economy is creating jobs, and fewer when our economy is not creating jobs;

4.     Protect workers by ensuring strong labor protections; and,

5.     Permit workers who have succeeded in the workplace and contributed to their communities over many years to earn green cards.

Marco Rubio's comprehensive immigration reform formula.

Understand that when he speaks of the “will of the people” or words to that affect,  he is just kidding.  The will of the people had nothing,  absolutely nothing,  to do with the passage of ObamaCare and,  every survey since that debate was framed,  has expressed a deep disappointment in what Obama calls “health care reform.”  That negative attitude will only increase with the passage of time.  The reason?  The bill is full of taxes at all levels, including a heavy dose directed at the middle class.  But before the taxes kick in,  sometime during 2014 and before the coming midterms,  there is the fact of rising healthcare costs.  Since this bill’s passage,  healthcare costs for those not on Medicare,  have risen $2,500 per year,  for a family of four.  He promised a decrease of that exact amount,  but that failing was not a central issue in the 2012 election cycle.  Why?  No one knows. 

The will of the people have nothing to do with his fetish for spending,  and the number of concerned citizens on this score,  is around 70%.  Yet,  nothing of substance from this man who would be King. 

Because this is his second term,  he will have more time to get things done,  since he will not have the excuse of running a campaign.  And,  if the Socialist/One Worlders, win back the House,  he just might get more accomplished. 

Its  just that since he failed to get all that much accomplished,  in this first two years,  when the Republicans could not stop anything he thought to do,   one wonders how much will be accomplished with or without a takeover of the House by the Dems. 

Editorial notes:  understand that Marco Rubio came up with a "dream act" to deal with so-called "illegals,"  during the 2012 campaign cycle.  B Hussein stole that idea, a week later,  and put it into effect via an executive order.  His campaign was full of co-oped ideas,  cover -ups and dozens of promises initially made during his 2008 campaign. 

 

News Update:  a group of Senators including Senator Rubio,  will hold a joint press conference on immigration reform,  today  (Jan 28th) at 11:30,  pt.  Some of Rubio's ideas,  expressed below,  may be a part of what comes from this bipartisan effort. 

By MARCO RUBIO SPECIAL TO THE LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL

Posted: Jan. 27, 2013 | 2:11 a.m.
Updated: Jan. 27, 2013 | 9:35 p.m.

As a nation of immigrants, Americans know how important immigration has been throughout our history. It's an indispensable part of our future.

Sadly, our immigration system is broken, and our dysfunctional Congress has been unable to put in place a new legal immigration system that honors our heritage as both a nation of immigrants and a nation of laws. To do this, we need to address three key areas.

I

First, we need a modern legal immigration system with an application  and compliance system that relies on new technology to simplify the process of coming and staying here legally.

We need an agricultural workers program that allows us to bring in seasonal and long-term laborers to provide our agricultural industries with the workers they need.

We need visa programs to attract and keep more entrepreneurs, investors and highly skilled workers in science, technology, engineering and math fields.

None of this should lead us to abandon or undermine family-based immigration. That is how my parents came to America legally, and how a great many new Americans join our society every year. Family unification should remain a high priority alongside the nation's economic interests.

II

A second key area is improving our law enforcement. Every nation has a right to protect its sovereignty by enforcing its immigration laws. We must attain operational control of our borders, create an effective workplace enforcement mechanism, and make sure that visitors to our nation leave our country when they're supposed to.

III

The third key area: addressing the undocumented immigrants already here. Those who have committed serious crimes in the United States should be found, arrested and deported.

Most of those who are undocumented are not dangerous criminals. But most are also not victims. They knowingly broke our immigration laws and do not have a legal right to remain here. But they are also human beings who made those choices in pursuit of a dream we recognize as the American dream.  [ Understand that coming to this country,  “illegally,”  is not a criminal offence,  according to our courts.  It’s restrictions are part of our civil code,  not our criminal code.  -  editor ]

The best thing for our country is to deal with this issue in a humane but responsible way that ensures this never happens again - not because anyone has a "right" to reside here illegally, but because, with or without documents, most of them are here to stay.

We can't round up millions of people and deport them. But we also can't fix our broken immigration system if we provide incentives for people to come here illegally - precisely the signal a blanket amnesty would send.

What to do with the millions of “illegal’s” in our country, now.

1)       Instead, the first step should be to require those who have not committed any felonies and are assimilated into America, to have the opportunity to apply for temporary non-immigrant status. To receive this status, they will have to come forward, admit wrongdoing, undergo a background check and pay back taxes and a meaningful fine for violating our laws.

To keep this status, they must maintain clean criminal records.   And they will not be able to receive welfare, student aid or any other federal public assistance.

2)   It's not a good idea to have millions of people permanently trapped in an immigration status that keeps them forever at a distance from our society. Therefore, once our new enforcement measures are certifiably in place, they should be allowed to apply for permanent status - not through a special pathway, but through the new and modernized legal immigration process we envision. They will have to wait behind everyone who applied before them legally. And when their turn comes up, they will have to meet the conditions of the visa they apply for.

3)   In the past, efforts to accommodate the undocumented have failed because the enforcement measures were never implemented. That's why this option to apply for a green card and get in the back of the line should not be made available until it is certified that significant progress has been made on enforcement of our immigration laws.

Both sides should want this kind of common-sense reform. To those concerned about illegal immigration, what we have now is de facto amnesty. To those looking to help the undocumented, families will continue being separated by deportations as long as politicians keep bickering and trying to outdo each other.

I've been encouraged by the support for these ideas I've found across the political spectrum, and my hope is President Obama will use his voice and influence to further this approach. However, if what he offers is a process for the undocumented that is more lenient, faster and unfair to those waiting to come legally, it won't bode well for reform.

I hope he proves that he is as serious about solving the problem as I and many colleagues are.
