Illegal Immigration May Finally Be Obama’s Waterloo


Back when the Obamacare debate was in high gear, South Carolina’s Junior Senator, Jim DeMint, (who frankly is our only real Senator since many of us in SC are disgusted with Lindsay Graham), suggested that if Obamacare was passed that it would be Obama’s Waterloo. A reference to the epic battle between Napoleon and Wellington in which Napoleon’s arrogance led him into a massive defeat by the British commander.

Obamacare may yet prove to be that for Obama since we have still to see the full results of this election year. So far Obama is not faring well in elections. The voting results are not all connected ONLY to health care but Obama’s entire agenda which suggests that Obamacare is not the Waterloo that DeMint predicted in and of itself.

There is another issue though that may well be the Waterloo experience for Obama that DeMint predicted with health care and that is illegal immigration. Obama and Democrats had wanted to put this hot bed issue somewhat on the back burner during this election year but the passage and signing into law of the Arizona immigration bill has not only placed it on the front burner but it has become the issue of precedence in both the media and politics.

From the moment that Governor Jan Brewer signed this necessary and excellent bill into law, the failings of the federal government in protecting our borders and the arrogance and total ignorance of Obama and his underlings has shown the utter contempt that this administration and its leader have for our country and the American people.

Unlike health care which spurred much heated debate and protest but is an issue that only came to light as the hot button it became due to Obama’s push to get his unconstitutional bill passed, illegal immigration is an issue that has been at the forefront before and after the failure of the amnesty debacle during the Bush years, the issue has been smoldering waiting for something new to ignite it and the Arizona law became that ignition.

This issue also crosses party politics in a way that no other issue does. Most issues even health care are extremely partisan but illegal immigration as proven by the anger which flamed during the amnesty debate a few years back fades away party line with the electorate as no other issue does. Politicians for the most part follow partisan lines in the approach and or, “solution,” for illegal immigration but the electorate has a great deal of solidarity toward border security and the millions of illegals in this country. The electorate as a whole want a fence, tough border enforcement and aliens deported.

With Obama at the helm this hot button issue has taken on a new faze which increases the anger of the American people in a way that the amnesty push under Bush never did, especially since after that voice of the people was spoken during the Bush debacle many in DC understood what the people wanted, dropped amnesty and focused more on border security which temporarily took illegal immigration of the front burner.

Of course we all know that the border security measures failed because of lack of complete implementation and a general lack of interest in doing anything on the part of Congress. Which is what forced Arizona to pass their immigration bill which allows the state to enforce federal law that already exists since the feds refuse to do so.

Polls overwhelmingly show support by the citizens of Arizona and and equally strong support throughout the rest of the Nation to Arizona’s law and Governor Brewer who has stood steadfast against the political onslaught buy Obama, his underlings and the liberal media. Most polling has support for the law in the upper seventies and low eighties, numbers which are almost unheard of in polling over most hot bed issues like health care which are considered to have strong support or opposition with polling in the upper fifties and low sixties.

But the real Waterloo trouble that could take its toll on Obama and his administration is the response by Obama and his underlings. Obama, AG Eric Holder and DHS Secretary Janet Napalitano have condemned the bill on legal grounds without admittedly having read the bill or having ANY first hand knowledge of its content. Their response by their own admission is based on false media accounts and hear say evidence which does not match the true content of the bill and the way in which it will be enforced in Arizona.

Adding to their arrogance especially Obama’s was the spectacle of the State visit from Mexican President Filipe Calderon who openly condemned the Arizona law with total agreement and equal condemnation by Obama during a press conference. Followed by allowing this foreign leader to stand before our Congress while hypocritically and arrogantly lecturing about our laws to a standing ovation by Democrats, Holder and Napalitano.

Americans love legal immigration and embrace those who legally come to our land seeking a better way of life for themselves and their families. What we do not want and will not stand for is the breaking of our laws in order to enter our country and especially those who use this influx of illegally entering from our Southern border as a way of bringing drug trafficking and violent criminal activity from a country who has failed to protect its people and destroyed their economy causing the aliens to illegal pass our borders in the first place.

Obama has chosen to embrace the arrogance of Calderon with an equal arrogance, side AGAINST the American people and wage a legal war with the State of Arizona over illegal immigration. He wraps his arms around those who criminally enter our country while turning his back on our Nation and our people in order to cater to a possible political voters block who he can buy with government programs insuring their backing of Democrat candidates.

Obama ignored the people over health care but with illegal immigration he not only ignores us but holds us in contempt and demonizes existing laws and pokes fun at a State, its people and those in whom that State have placed their trust for law enforcement and protection from criminal activity that is rampaging their home.

Is illegal immigration Obama’s true Waterloo ? On this issue he is showing the same contempt and arrogance as Napoleon had toward Wellington and the British military he commanded. Obama is taking a firm stand against federal and state law, the anger and disgust of the American people, blaming our Nation for Mexico’s troubles while siding with Mexico against the country he took a Constitutional Oath to defend. And he calls we who oppose illegal immigration unamerican ? If he wants to see unamerican he need look no further than his mirror.

Our immigration laws should be changed to match Mexicos

Then Calderon would be happy, right?

Of course, there would STILL be that little issue of enforcement . . .

2+2=4 dammit!

Both sides fighting over the new vote bloc...

Repubs did massive outreach under W.

Dems are continuing to do outreach.

Are Hispanic voters a bloc, and if so .. what do they make of this?

Meanwhile, there is a consensus (and snarky thanks to John McLame for his grandstand a couple years ago that galvanized it…) for a border fence across party lines .. so we know Congress would pass “build the fence” legislation .. but both sides are going to want to put their own bribes into it. .. and that’s where it’ll stall.

I don’t see any actual movement on this issue this year at the Fed level.

Congress did agree to build a fence

eastbaylarry (Diary) Sunday, May 23rd at 11:12AM EST (link)

then it didn’t happen anyway.

2+2=4 dammit!

This is why immigration is not just a Fed issue...

All political bodies, from the smallest church board on up, can get hung up between authorization and implementation…

The higher the level, the worse effect of a hangup, so treating immigration at the State level would allow Arizona, California, Texas, Florida, etc. to act somewhat independently, as originally intended.

of voters. That is precisely what the thug-in-chief wants; that is also why obamas minions want Puerto Rico to become the 51st state!
He belives that they all will vote for him! What an arrogant piece of work…….

Waterloo or not, I live here in AZ and almost 85% of us support Gov. Brewer. We are mad and hell and we’re not going to take it anymore. The killing of a great AZ rancher was the last straw.

Phoenix is the kidnapping capital of the US and is second only to a South American dictatorship. …..and speaking of a dictatorship, do not we have a dictator in D.C.?

If any of you would like to become more involved in the immigration, please go to NumbersUSA, if you haven’t already. There you can send free faxes to all of the legislative reps and Numbers will keep you up to date on all the ‘small’ bills that are being voted on in the dead of night. Personally, I have learned a great deal from them.

God Bless America

I can say that most Americans are behind you in Arizona

I hope and pray that you get the military support you need – and I also hope and pray that all of the states will do the same thing you did down there in AZ to make our country safer for everyone……Our senator in Wisconsin is as bad as Barry – Feingold is also a piece of work that needs to be replaced……he is totally for the same agenda that obama is for……if anyone is reading this from Wisconsin – - – please vote for Dave Westlake – he is the real deal and will fight for wisconsin – - we need more guys like this in our government……keep the faith – stay the course.

do you think the Dems and Obama would be pushing for immigration reform?

I think not….Dems want the illegals to be legal so they can recruit for new Union members and of course, for their votes.

I wish Brewer would make a commercial showing the destruction of the deserts in Arizona due to illegal immigrants and the trash, refuge, diapers, feces, left behind…..I think that would be far reaching to far more then those who saw the puppet commercial.

Obama took an oath to protect and defend our borders as every Pres before him. For him to allow Calderone to go to our House in Congress and besmirch, demonize our immigration laws borders on the line of treason.

Calderone and Mexico get rich off those illegal immigrants who come to our country, This send back to Mexico, 90B dollars a year.

We should tax those funds as they are wired, take out a percentage that goes to our government to cover the massive expenses we incur for medical, education, etc.

Hey, maybe Arizona could enact a law for wire transfers out of the country from their state….I am not sure on federal regulations in regard to that, but could it be done? What if every state adopted that? No one where to run to get out of paying that tax eh?

God Bless America, indeed.

 
 

the unspoken truth about the Dems and the illegal immigration issue is that

kyle8 (Diary) Sunday, May 23rd at 2:39PM EST (link)

One of their biggest constituencies, Black Americans, do not see eye to eye with the party leadership on this.

In my experience Black people are anti-illegal immigration unless they are just a shill working for some Acorn-like group.

In a racial/political spoils system like the Donks have set up there are only so many benefits to go around. Many blacks resent that the Hispanics are becoming the “pet” minority, and getting all the attention.

Other, more serious minded people see that constant low wage immigration puts downward pressure on jobs and wages by other lower skilled workers.

I predict that some time in the future this will come to a head.

With African Americans voting 95% for Obama and consistently in the 85-90% range for the Dems, there’s no room for any “change” except in favor of Republicans.

In the immediate term, I don’t believe this will have any effect. But as African-Americans continue to increase their representation in the upper and middle levels of American society, as the 90% disperses toward, say, 75%, a critical mass of acceptance will be reached (no more Uncle Tom stigma), and while that switch would be “only” 10-15% of 12% of the population, that would translate into a very critical 1 percent gain for Republicans and a 1 percent loss for Democrats, and the yards around the 50 yard line are very hotly contested turf.

Did you notice how gleefully the Dems

Flagstaff (Diary) Monday, May 24th at 11:47PM EST (link)

gloated about the Waterloo comment when they had one of their successes? It was always thrown out as if DeMint had made his comment as a taunt or a threat, which I don’t believe he did. Comparison, yes, and an accurate one at that. When Obama loses, it will be obvious that his arrogance driven by a massive ego is what drove him to defeat.

I should have added that the particular issue doesn’t matter, because he has the same problem with every issue.

Obama's oath

thomasburkby Tuesday, May 25th at 6:35PM EST (link)

is an important part of this issue. Theoretically he doesn’t get to choose which laws to enforce. As president he is (supposedly) sworn to uphold the Constitution AND LAWS of the United States. If he disagrees with current immigration law (mostly written by Democrats), he can ask Congress to change it, but while he is waiting he has a duty to enforce it.

Obama’s diffidence at performing on his oath is an issue on which the Republicans and, yes, even the media, should be pummeling him.

 

Waterloo maybe...

…but obama just doesn’t give a damn. He is on a mission & time is running out.
