The 5 Dumbest Lies in Obama’s Amnesty Speech

the gruber in the mirror

1. Obama isn’t implementing amnesty. He’s fighting amnesty or something.

“I know some of the critics of this action call it amnesty. Well, it’s not. Amnesty is the immigration system we have today… That’s the real amnesty – leaving this broken system the way it is.”

In a speech filled with howlers and crazy lies, Obama’s claim that deporting illegal aliens is amnesty but giving them legal status isn’t, tops the list.

Somewhere George Orwell is climbing out of a grave and calling his lawyer. Really, we can now add “deportation is amnesty and legalization is deportation” to the old freedom and war list.

 

2. We are a nation of laws

“Even as we are a nation of immigrants, we are also a nation of laws. Undocumented workers broke our immigration laws, and I believe that they must be held accountable… “

The least appropriate time to namecheck America as a nation of laws is when you have to decided to…

A. Illegally usurp Congress

B. Provide sanction to lawbreakers

C. Disregard the very immigration laws you’re mentioning

When you use phone and pen to run everything, then the country isn’t a nation of laws. It’s a nation of executive orders.

 

3. Amnesty for 5 million illegals isn’t “mass amnesty”

“Mass amnesty would be unfair. Mass deportation would be both impossible and contrary to our character. What I’m describing is accountability – a commonsense, middle ground approach”

Obama has a bad habit of claiming to be the centrist because he’s standing between two strawmen extremes. But this is pathetic even by that measure.

Here he’s seriously claiming that amnesty for 5 million illegal aliens isn’t “mass amnesty”. If not every single illegal alien has been amnestied, then it’s not “mass amnesty”.

Is there anyone out there stupid enough to believe that?

 

4. Which part of illegal don’t you understand?

“But even as we focus on deporting criminals, the fact is, millions of immigrants – in every state, of every race and nationality – will still live here illegally…”

Illegally entering the US is a crime. Illegal aliens are criminals. Identity theft, routine among illegals, is also a crime.

 

5. No, seriously

“I know that some worry immigration will change the very fabric of who we are, or take our jobs, or stick it to middle-class families at a time when they already feel like they’ve gotten the raw end of the deal for over a decade. I hear these concerns. But that’s not what these steps would do.”

After summarizing some of the problems from his amnesty, Obama’s response is “no they won’t”. That’s it. Followed by using some kids as human shields.

Obama isn’t even bothering to have a debate. He falls back into his usual sanctimonious “I hear what you’re saying, now let me ignore it.”

    • SyLvIa Zzz…

      Couldn’t agree more!

      You would think good Liberals would oppose this amnesty bill.

      Allowing illegals to stay takes jobs away from America’s poorest citizens and job competition lowers their wages.

      Allowing illegals to stay means they suck up social services funds that should go to struggling American citizens.

      Allowing illegals to stay floods our hospitals with people seeking free medical care making medical care more expensive for all citizens. Mine is up to $450/month. I’m a healthy 28 year old female. (Contrast this to my $26/month auto insurance from Insurance Panda or my $15/month renters insurance from Eagle or my $15/month dental from Delta)

      Allowing illegals to stay increases population which increases pollution and urban sprawl. (just look at LA)

      Allowing illegals to stay floods our schools with thier spawn taking resources meant for our kids education.

      Allowing illegals to stay helps businesses to operate with cheap non-union labor.

      So why do Liberals support amnesty when it hurts most of the people and issues they support?

        Because the “Liberals” (more properly referred to as Leftist radicals) don’t really support those people at all, they only pretend to. Their actual goal is power, Soviet Union-style power, and these uneducated third-world peasants can give it to them because they will stupidly vote Democratic in huge numbers.

          Sure they will Garrigan, unless they climb over the White House fence screaming “Death to Obama!” And not only will they not have to pay back taxes, they will receive checks for their missed tax returns, since their proven incomes would be too low to pay income tax.

    I say all Legal Citizens of this country get together and refuse to obey any laws from this day forward. We cannot be held to a higher standard, than the Criminal Illegal Aliens are held to. They are violating our immigration laws, not to mention, using stolen Social Security numbers, Identity Theft, driving without licenses and insurance. Our president has now set a precedent of ignoring the laws he doesn’t agree with, we now have the same right to ignore all laws we don’t agree with. When they start giving out ID’s to these Illegals, I say every one of us, Legal Citizens, head on over to the DMV, we tell them we are here illegally, we have no documents, so we make up a name, make up an address and get a new driver’s license, then we don’t need car insurance, we can go to the ER, show our Illegal ID, get treatment and when they send the bill to the fake person at the fake address, we won’t have to pay for our treatment either. I’m done, I’m not obeying laws, it’s not fair to force citizens to obey and really how can they do so. If you get arrested, when they take you in front of the judge, tell the lawyer to say, this citizen is invoking the Obama Rule, he doesn’t agree with the law that you say he broke, therefore, he can’t be convicted of committing a crime. I wish I had a way to get millions of people to go along with this, let’s stop paying taxes, we don’t agree with paying taxes, well I don’t, it’s not a law I agree with, if millions of us stopped paying taxes, they couldn’t put us all in jail. I’m ready to create some anarchy. I’m sick and tired of following rules, maybe we should go to Mexico, sneak into the border, turn ourselves into the border agents and say we need asylum, our lives were in danger, then we can live on welfare, section 8 housing, free obamacare or Medicaid, free obamaphones, free food stamps, etc, etc, why are we the suckers working to pay for these Illegals and the other lazy people who do nothing to contribute to this society. I wanna puke.

  • Dutch Renitent

    Conservative Jonathan Tobin from Commentary agrees with Obama that the current system is amnesty. If even prominent conservatives don’t get it, the future of America is very bleak.

    • 5ini5ter

      The current system is amnesty only because the president refuses to enforce current immigration laws. No illegal here is worried about being deported.

      • Rsmary

        okay, I greatly dislike Oblamer. He is the biggest POS.
        However, that said, he has deported tens of thousands of illegals.
        This move is only to agitate those who disagree with him. He already lost the house and senate for two years, so this is sort of his little tantrum focused only to irritate and agitate

        • I_Am_Me

          Obama is playing a very sophisticated game of politics with the long term goal of one-party rule in the USA. A Marxist destination. This agitation move is part of his game.

        • 5ini5ter

          Obama’s deportation numbers are greatly inflated. His administration counts illegals that are apprehended at the border and sent straight back. No other administration has ever counted those people. You can’t trust anything Obama has to say: http://www.nationalreview.com/article/370784/obama-administration-inflating-deportation-numbers-andrew-stiles

          • Scar

            Great point. We constantly hear the blather about how many illegals Obama has deported, but rarely hear this little-known fact. Knowing that he’s a pathological liar, I finally got sick of his claim and did a little research. I didn’t find out the truth until last week. Thanks for posting it here.

      • Garrigan

        Obama deported more illegals than any other president in the history of this country.
        That’s why the liberals are so mad at him!
        He’s been enforcing harder than anybody, that’s for sure!

    • MukeNecca

      No, Mr. Tobin, the current system is not amnesty.

      1. Amnesty is court’s of justice declaration of forgiveness for
      an offence resulting in non-prosecution of the offender.
      2. It is not dropping the charges for the lack of sufficient proof, but a decision of not pressing the authenticated charges.
      3. It certainly is not permitting the offender to keep and enjoy the fruit of his offence. Would the court that pardons a thief for stealing your wallet rule that he may keep it?

      The “current system” doesn’t meet the positive definition of amnesty (1), but fully meets its two negations (2) and (3).

      Tobin by agreeing that the current, broken system is an amnesty implies that what is needed to fix it is simply designing a better amnesty

      By asserting that “fixing it is the job of the Congress, not an imperial president” he, unwittingly, confers legitimacy on the Obama’s corruption of the meaning of amnesty. He has no problem with the hoax – only with its perpetrator.

      It is because of the confused “republicans” like Tobin that GOP fails to capitalize on the democrat’s scandals

    What about the laws they broke being here, and the laws about hiring and knowing ?

  • Silver

    Don’t hire any of them and they will go home. Starve them out.

    • claspur

      …and fine businesses out of existence that hire them.

      • http://tinatrent.com/ Tina Trent

        Starting with those that contributed to Republicans and Democrats — that would be a big list, of course.

        Governor Deal came to talk to a group of Tea Parties in North Georgia. When asked about immigration, he said to us — ‘you have to understand that the farmers in South Georgia don’t want us to enforce immigration law.’

        So the governor of my state stood right in front of me telling me that he had to take into consideration the fact that some people want to break the law. He asked me to “understand” that. He takes money from these admitted lawbreakers, of course.

        However, if I wish to break the law by not paying my Georgia income taxes — a similar crime — I will go to jail.

        Every elected official who does not actively oppose this mass anarchy and destruction of the law is condoning lawbreaking — worse, selective and premeditated lawbreaking — anarchy and discrimination in its purest forms. Condoning this destroys the social contract and the fabric of the law itself. And they should be held responsible for doing this.

        We are at a watershed moment. Where are the Republicans? Much blame is cast on RINOs but it is hardly just them. Here is a short list working actively to undermine opposition to amnesty. They have infiltrated and try to manipulate every aspect of the conservative and citizen movements, too — often claiming to “have no position on immigration” while pressuring members to shut up about it and quietly funding pro-amnesty organizations elsewhere.

        This is our territory, and so it is especially our responsibility to do something about it. If you take money from these people, or give money to them, you are abetting illegal immigration too:

        Koch brothers (David Koch even ran on a full-open-borders Vice Presidential ticket)
        AFP
        Freedomworks
        Carl Rove
        Grover Norquist
        The Libertarian Party
        Reason
        CATO
        ALEC

        and of course the Chamber of Commerce.

      YES, the jobs and money to send home is really what they want. Support their families, like we do.

    away just from their attitude ,It is not just Mexico , But , If we cut off Western Union and the likes
    from sending money out of the Country , That will send about 20% of them
    home , Awhile back I was waiting for a case to come up and watched a young girl ’23′ or
    so , that was in front of the Judge , and he asked her how was she
    released ? She had been sentenced to 15+ years for attempted murder and

    Obama claims he is obeying the “will of the people”! He is completely disassociated from American Principles, American Philosophy and American Morality and totally devoted to supplying the Democratic Party with a permanent underclass, living on a constant stream of wherewithal crumbs from the Government table, which, of course, is collected from the shrinking population of job possessors making a decent living here. His hope is to manipulate this mob of poorly educated and poorly trained interlopers into a totally dependent “voting class” that intends to protect their stream of crumbs by voting Democrat!
    Meanwhile, back at the “Inside-The-Beltway” ranch, a willing opposition in Congress is now led by people already castrated by money and are now doing a tiresome but old dance, choreographed years ago by the donors of that money to try to appear to be “against” these moves, but all the while assenting to them.
    The whole “election landslide” is a fraud that will have no power because its leaders have no gonads and the American People are now in worse shape than they were before the election! There will be no “reform” of the Republican Party. It is already bought and paid for by the same elements that control the Democrats!
    We need a new party with real morals and real American values, not the current “fan dance” group occupying seats on the right of the aisle!

  • Garrigan

    Ronald Reagan was WORSE because he enacted his executive action on immigration AFTER the Congress passed its immigration law.

    Emperor Reagan though he knew better….. he actually CHANGED Congress’ law.
    At least Obama did it BEFORE the bill that was passed in the bipartisan Senate became law.
    That was because the Speaker refused to call a vote in the House.
    Why did he do that?
