Obama to announce 10-point immigration plan

[CherryPanda]

President Obama is planning to unveil a 10-part plan for overhauling U.S. immigration policy via executive action -- including suspending deportations for millions -- as early as next Friday, a source close to the White House told Fox News.
The draft plan, though, contains 10 initiatives that span everything from boosting border security to improving pay for immigration officers.
But the most controversial pertain to the millions who could get a deportation reprieve under what is known as "deferred action."
The plan calls for expanding deferred action for illegal immigrants who came to the U.S. as children -- but also for the parents of U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents.
The latter could allow upwards of 4.5 million illegal immigrant adults with U.S.-born children to stay, according to estimates.
Critics in the Senate say those who receive deferred action, according to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, receive work authorization in the United States, Social Security numbers and government-issued IDs.

Well, while immigration bill is stuck in the House of Representatives, Obama has prepared executive actions to… do what? Any guesses? Yes, dear friends, you are right: to let more immigrants become the citizens. Or at least postpone their deportation. Think about – allowing 4.5 million people to stay. And who’s going to provide money to support them, to provide health care, to educate their children? Any more guesses? Yes, it’s you. Citizens. Feeding non-citizens. Do you hope they will repay that by paying taxes after being naturalized? Well, they won’t. Because they will get welfare. And their kids will pay back only 15% from the sum the government spent on the immigrant. So, what exactly does Obama want to do?

Republicans are on the wrong side of this. If they remain opposed the Democrats are gonna get millions of new members.

This is happening, instead of waving good-bye to millions of new Republicans opposing what'll happen anyway even if by EO, get on the bandwagon and make it happen faster and better than the other guys.

The DNC is behind the Bill. They want new Hispanic DEM voters in 16.
What the DNC doesn't grasp is when the 'Makers' see the illegals basically sucking up the last of the US economy there will be a HUGE backlash.
When we see a hundred Hispanics standing on every corner begging for a days work instead of fifty on street corners someone will ask: "How are the Hispanics getting by that didn't get a days work for slave labor wages?"
The wonderful irony is many Hispanics are realising it's a HELL of a lot more expensive to live in Dallas than back in their own country.
Lesser of two evils. Either attempt to hang on getting food stamps and pretend things will ever get better or go back home.

dannyboys, not so at all, actually the reverse as legal immigrants energize our economy with taxes and work.

The GOP is flatly on the wrong side of immigration, and it will cost the party dearly in 2016.

Work? What "work" are millions of Illiterate Hispanics going to do?
Work in the 'service industry'? Which is struggling to keep their heads above water. There isn't a single hotel chain in the country that isn't just hanging on. They ARE NOT going to hire millions of people to make beds and mow lawns.
The economy is NOT remotely growing sufficiently to absorb millions of low-skilled workers.
BTW NO ONE making minimum wage pays a penny in Federal taxes.
Please be specific explaining how millions of people with high school educations can not find a job.
Millions of low/no skilled Hispanics are going to be a drain on an economy barely above water.

I'm curious, Delta...are Democrats doing this because they think it's good for the country...or are they doing it because they think it's going to provide them with millions of new votes and don't care if it's bad for the country?

 

[Oldstyle]

Because when you talk about being "on the wrong side of this" you don't go into the ramifications it will have for both the country as a whole and any prayer of bi-partisan cooperation for the next two years.

 

[Oldstyle]

I'm here today to state with complete conviction that Barack Obama has made a political calculation that it's better for liberals to flush any chance of conducting the nation's business for the next two years if doing so alienates Hispanic voters from the GOP...something that will cement his legacy as the most divisive President in US history.

I wonder what Mrs. LIB will think when her semi-literate eighteen year old comes home from working 'split-shift at Mc Donalds and tells her there were two hundred Hispanics and twenty White kids lined up today pleading to get one of the three 'McJobs' on offer?

This is unsurprisingly ignorant.

Undocumented immigrants will remain in the US regardless what the president or Congress may or may not do.

The only question is whether or not there will be a resolution to their immigration status or just continue to do nothing.

The ethnocentric butt hurt is strong on those on the far right.

I am with you on this. I also have a strong feeling that the measures offered are just... pointless. What's the point for a person who lives on welfare, does nothing but selling drugs and guns to get legal? Find legal and well-paid job?
