Sons of Anarchy
20th November 2014MalloyProducer0 Comments
The Right-wingers are collectively freaking out over Obamas forthcoming immigration plan, which he will announce in a (selectively) televised speech tonight. The lies and distortions from the detractors are flying fast and furious, so here is an honest overview of the presidents plan, thanks to ABC News (which along with the other alphabet networks, have no plan to actually air the prime-time address tonight):
The White House says Obama will maximize the use of his authority to extend temporary legal status to more than 5 million undocumented immigrants.
Who Gets Relief?
4.1 million undocumented parents and families of U.S. citizens who have been in country more than 5 years with no criminal record.
300,000 undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. illegally as children, so-called Dreamers, will be newly eligible for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. Current age limits for the program will be dropped, sources say.
400,000 highly-skilled workers will be eligible for visas.
Some other smaller categories for relief will bring the number affected above 5 million.
Who Gets Left Out?
Undocumented parents of DACA recipients will not be eligible for legal status.
Undocumented agricultural workers will not be addressed.
Border Security
Obama will direct more resources on border security with an emphasis on deporting new arrivals. Guidance to law enforcement will be to focus on criminal aliens rather than those living quietly in the shadows with no arrest record.
The Legal Argument
The White House believes Obamas acts are effectively bullet-proof in court, backed up by the precedent of more than a dozen presidents who have used discretion in enforcement of immigration law and granted temporary legal status to thousands of immigrants on their watch. Advocates have been told the dreamer families were left out because White House believes inclusion of non-citizen families would jeopardize the legal underpinning of the plan.
The Caveats
Obama will sign his executive order tomorrow at the event in Las Vegas, but it will take several weeks for many of the new initiatives to roll out, people familiar with the plan say. Terms of the action will take effect in six months, giving time for congressional action to replace the order with legislation and allow advocacy groups to organize people to apply for relief.
Nothing in Obamas plan will create a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants and any legal status received would be temporary. Officials have said the eligible immigrants as under DACA would not be entitled to federal benefits such as Medicaid, health care subsidies, etc.
Gee, that doesnt seem so radical or controversial. We know their knee-jerk reaction is to oppose anything he proposes, and the fact that hes following the tried and true tactic of acting on executive order (as so many Republican executives have done before him) only fuels the unexpected fire in their lil teabagger bellies.
Yes the do-nothing Neocons in Congress have awakened from their hibernation and have flown into an atypical frenzy of activity, plotting their lines of defense against the Presidents executive action. And they arent mincing words or sparing any exaggeration in their outrage. Oklahomas favorite Rapture Rightie, Senator Tom Coburn, is actually predicting some kind of hellish chaos should Obama make good on his threat. MSNBC (which is airing the speech) offers this:
Oklahoma Sen. Tom Coburn warns there could be not only a political firestorm but acts of civil disobedience and even violence in reaction to President Obamas executive order on immigration Thursday.
The countrys going to go nuts, because theyre going to see it as a move outside the authority of the president, and its going to be a very serious situation, Coburn said on Capital Download. Youre going to see hopefully not but you could see instances of anarchy. You could see violence.
The far-right senator went on to say, Heres how people think: Well, if the law doesnt apply to the president then why should it apply to me?
Its hard to know what to make of such an odd perspective. If Coburn is correct, why werent there similar outbursts of anarchy and violence when Presidents Reagan and Bush took very similar executive actions? If the masses are so deeply concerned about separation of powers and the often-ambiguous lines surrounding executive authority, wouldnt we have seen instances of pandemonium before?
Oh please, MSNBC. If a Republican President circumvents Congress and uses an executive order to, say, expand the governments ability to wiretap innocent Americans and monitor our email transmissions on the thinnest pretense thats fine. But Obama wants to find a way to keep immigrant families intact and provide some kind of system to solve this enormous humanitarian crisis? Impeach Him Now! He is flaunting the Constitution! Anarchy! Violence! Rain of frogs and boiling seas of blood will follow!
Personally, I would love to see Mitch McConnell throw a Molotov cocktail on live TV. Give us some anarchy. Hell, just blink once an awhile to let us know youre alive. But I digress . . . .
Not to be outdone by mere mortals, Congressmen, the chief propagandist for the flying monkey right, Rush Limbaugh, today predicted the end of society as we know it should so-called illegals be allowed to stay in America. He noted that the number of aliens in the US was equal to the number of jobs Obama created, with the obvious conclusion that these immigrants would take every. single. American. job.
The hyperbolic predictions of doom got worse from there.
Is it the end of the world as we know it, Truthseekers? Join us LIVE at 9PM ET and we will observe the apocalypse together. Ill bring the kevlar you pop the popcorn.
