Obama
Issues Immigration Executive Order.
Boehner Cries Foul Again!
The
biggest news of the day is President Obama's Immigration Executive
Orders. They are only temporary as he puts it, and they really don't
amount to much. He may only have acted within his legal limits, but
the new Executive Orders issued do not go far enough.
Here
is what they do:
Immediate
Relief For 4-5 Million From Fear of Deportation.
New
Staffing and Resources at Border.
Credit
Card Payments for Naturalization Fee in 2015.
*Adjustments
to H1-B Specialized Worker Visas. (See Below)
Spouses
of H1-B visas can now get work permits and work legally.
"Today,
our immigration system is broken, and everybody knows it." -
President Obama
“What
I’m describing is accountability, a common-sense, middle ground
approach. If you meet the criteria, you can come out of the shadows
and get right with the law. If you’re a criminal, you’ll be
deported,” - President Obama
The
new plan gives 4-5 million illegal immigrants a chance to apply for
work permits and a temporary reprieve from deportation. Those who
have been in the U.S. for at least five years and are parents of
citizens or legal permanent residents are eligible to apply. The
White House said a million more might benefit through other new or
expanded programs.
The
White House considered deferring deportation of the Dreamers’
parents, but Karl R. Thompson from the Office of Legal Counsel in the
Justice Department. says that “the proposed deferred action program
for parents of DACA recipients would not be a permissible exercise of
enforcement discretion.”
President
Obama was only able to defer the Dreamers' deportation two years
ago, and allow them to become eligible to work in the U.S. “Deferred
action ... does not provide you with a lawful status.” Which leaves
us all a bit confused,
but it has to do with Congessional intent and technical legalities.
Although there is a degree of uncertainty here, Dreamers'
parents who don’t have a U.S. citizen child aren’t likely to be
deported.
The
President is trying to narrow the group of people who would be
subject to deportation, in what the White House says is an effort to
focus 'enforcement
resources' on
gang members, serious criminals and those who crossed the border
after Jan. 1, 2014.
These
new changes are long overdue and much needed, but they are not enough
and as President
Obama plainly says, these new executive orders are only temporary and
can change or disappear as soon as Congress/ the house of
misrepresentatives put forth a Bill for him to sign.
The
real problem and the major obstacle to immigration
reform is 'The Speaker of The House' – John Boehner!
A
Bill that will certainly pass the Senate is being held up by Boehner.
He won't even allow the House to vote on it. A
bill that is prepared and ready to be voted on.
A Bill that needs a simple yes or no vote from the House to proceed.
This Bill is held
up by Boenher,
while he's out crying foul to the public, spewing lies and
misinformation. He's resorted to childish name-calling and crying
foul over executive orders, proclaiming them as over-reach, stating
that the President has ruined any chance of a bipartisan deal. John
Boehner is a liar! John Boehner is the one to blame for government
inaction, he's the one holding everything up!
The
Republican plan all along has been to do nothing, just wait. In
waiting they were able to make President Obama look weak, indecisive
and ineffective. They never wanted to address this issue at all. All
they care about right now is their time-off and the coming holidays!
They have done everything they could to sabotage and delay any action
on immigration.
President Obama has been more than patient and has tried to work with
Republicans, but it was their inaction that really forced him to act
and issue the new Executive Orders on Immigration.
It's
time for the worst Congress that ever misrepresented us to get off
their lazy worthless lying asses and pass a bill! And, America needs
a New Speaker of the House, get rid of Boehner! How he ever got this
far in politics is one of those great mysteries of the world that
we'll never understand
