President Obama delivered a little mini sermon, arrogantly sitting on his desk in the Oval Office, not even wearing a suit coat, bragging that he is going to fix immigration with Executive Orders. He asked everyone to watch as he explains all this tomorrow night from Del Sol High school in Las Vegas high school. I am not making this up. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Perhaps the President might want to check out what happened earlier this month in the socialist State of Oregon.
Oregon may be the most liberal state in the Union, but when voters got a chance to vote on giving illegal immigrants drivers licenses they didn’t say no, they said hell no. Governor John Kitzhaber signed Senate Bill 833 in May giving drivers licenses to illegal immigrants. That, by the way, is the same thing Democrats did in California. But 70,000 people in Oregon signed a petition called Measure 88 repealing Senate Bill 833. Measure 88 passed 66% to 33% while liberal Democrats were getting re-elected to the Senate and the Governor’s mansion. This means even liberals have figured this out.
Supposedly smart people, like Jeb Bush, keep talking about how Republicans need to compromise on immigration to attract Hispanic voters. Earth to the Republican establishment you have been trying this approach for years and it has never worked. But there are places where Republicans are actually gaining support among Hispanic voters. How about Texas for example? Republicans got 40% of the Hispanic vote in Texas and not one would describe Rick Perry, Ted Cruz or Greg Abbot as pro-illegal immigration. Standing up for traditional conservative values works. Embracing failed Democratic policies has never worked and never will work. This is also incredibly insulting to Hispanics. It is naïve to assume that Hispanics who worked hard to get here legally are enthusiastic about letting millions of illegal immigrants get in for free.
When Obama sat on his desk this morning he probably intended to thumb his nose at Republicans. He succeeded in doing that, but he also insulted a huge percentage of the voting public. Every poll shows a majority of voters are angry about this. With this latest stunt, Obama risks turning anger into outrage. Do we really want to risk finding out what happens to this country if people lose faith in our system of democracy.
Senator Tom Coburn bluntly warned about this today:
I hope he is wrong, but fear he is right. If people stop believing in the system, what is the alternative? Democrats were voted out of power yet Obama just ignores that. It is time for Republicans to stop worrying about what happens if they take on Obama and start worrying about what happens if they don’t. It is quite simple. If Obama is violating the constitution and usurping power, then stop him. If he isn’t, then shut up.

I believe this is all a ruse’ for far more damaging plans this person has in place to undermine the United States. He is too clever to let this self-made crisis go to waste without perhaps a complete give-away to his hidden friends in Iran or some other bad intention.
