I like the part(s) where he bragged about the economy, when he has opposed everything that has helped this slow, feeble recovery. He opposed expanding oil and gas production, but American production expanded anyway on private land, helping to reduce prices (not just of oil, but throughout the entire economy) and add jobs. He fought for "cap and trade," more spending, and higher taxes and has been mostly blocked by the GOP. But yeah Obama, take a lap for the amazing economic recovery your policies are like totally responsible for.

I expecially liked the term "middle class economics" last night. :lol: I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean, but I think one thing is pretty clear: Obama is a man of the people and middle class.

If oil and gas is going to expand on private land anyway, then I would prefer that over giving them free access to federal land.

I really hope the EPA continues to suckle to their buddies at the NRDC and The Sierra Club and continues their little "Sue and Settle" schemes . . . that's a huge boon to the economy and to . . . Regulation Nation.

Nothing says "most transparent administration in history" than behind closed door "settlements" and new policies derived with no Congressional Oversight.

I'm not even sure he cares so much about his approval rating - it's more like he's basically decided his last two years will be a massive F-You to the GOP. He's just trolling them now at every opportunity. Last night, for example, he invited an illegal immigrant to sit in the Lenny Skutnik seats - I guess he's a "national hero" for breaking our immigration laws and then getting to stay under an unconsitutional blanket amnesty by executive action - err, memo.

He fully intends to veto popular pieces of legislation like the Keystone pipeline. That won't help his approval rating but, again, I don't think he gives a crap. It also won't help Hillary, and he probably relishes the idea of sinking her campaign yet again.

It's going to be a very ugly next two years. Good job, America.

I'm a big fan of legal immigrants. We need more of them (people who actually went through a legal process to get here - not just snuck in and then were granted amnesty). I hink people who characterize anti-illegal immigration people as "immigrant haters" are just awful people.

We spend billions on free education, childcare, healthcare, and other forms of welfare for the millions of illegal immigrants, not to mention the diseases (no vacinations) and narcotics that cross the border with them. I'd say that's a bigger problem than music piracy. Those are some of the reasons for actual enforcement of a legal immigration system.

I would bet a kabagillion dollars that welfare and illegals cost more than the revenue it generates, by a substantial margin.  Particularly because the primary source of revenue for the federal government is income tax receipts and nobody on welfare or here illegally pays income taxes.

Immigrant haters are just awful people.   

I'm a big fan of legal immigrants. We need more of them (people who actually went through a legal process to get here - not just snuck in and then were granted amnesty). I hink people who characterize anti-illegal immigration people as "immigrant haters" are just awful people.

I don't think you understand the whole brought here by your parents thingy.

Yeah, I understand the "brought here by their parents" and "shipped here by the parents" thingies. that doesn't change my mind. It incentivizes a lawless immigration system. But that's libtardism for ya, incentivize bad decisions and lawlessness, disincentivize good decisions.

I don't know whether anyone in the GOP has offered such legislation, but I'll agree with you that (1) I haven't seen it, and (2) the pubtards have failed miserably at immigration proposals. Many seem to want amnesty as bad as the libtards, and others don't seem to have any solution other than the "build the fence" talking point. Speaking of which, have you seen the Houses latest immigration bill proposal? JFC. :facepalm:

You mean back before we had a population of 350mil and were signing everyone and their extended families up for welfare? Yeah, we could probably afford looser immigration back then. Not that immigration didn't have constraints even back then. You had to demonstrate a trade, and pass a medical screening. Immigrants with infectious disease were turned back all the time.

What if someone's ancestors immigrated with slaves? Does that mean current people should be able to immigrate with slaves too? 

A lot of people in the 18th and 19th century came to the us as indentured servants. If that was okay then, why not now? Times certainly haven't changed in the immigration world.

I suppose it depends upon how you define "welfare" and whether you are differentiating between what's supposed to happen and what actually happens. In reality, illegal immigrants receive plenty of public benefits, from education, healthcare, food, housing, cell phones, you name it. Pretty much any public benefit that's available is available to illegal immigrants, either legally or illegally. Funny thing is these illegal immigrants don't seem to have much qualms about whether they are legally entitled to certain benefits or not.

Immigrant haters are just awful people.   

I'm a big fan of legal immigrants. We need more of them (people who actually went through a legal process to get here - not just snuck in and then were granted amnesty). I hink people who characterize anti-illegal immigration people as "immigrant haters" are just awful people.

I don't think you understand the whole brought here by your parents thingy.

Yeah, I understand the "brought here by their parents" and "shipped here by the parents" thingies. that doesn't change my mind. It incentivizes a lawless immigration system. But that's libtardism for ya, incentivize bad decisions and lawlessness, disincentivize good decisions.

i bet it's a great family story about how your ancestors got here.   

I actually do have a pretty great family immigration story but for purposes of this discussion I'll just sum it up as "legally" and "before we were signing immigrants up for welfare."

I enjoy it when people proudly proclaim their ancestors came here legally when any white person could come here legally until the 1920's

You mean back before we had a population of 350mil and were signing everyone and their extended families up for welfare? Yeah, we could probably afford looser immigration back then. Not that immigration didn't have constraints even back then. You had to demonstrate a trade, and pass a medical screening. Immigrants with infectious disease were turned back all the time.
Illegal immigrants don't get welfare dumbass.

I suppose it depends upon how you define "welfare" and whether you are differentiating between what's supposed to happen and what actually happens. In reality, illegal immigrants receive plenty of public benefits, from education, healthcare, food, housing, cell phones, you name it. Pretty much any public benefit that's available is available to illegal immigrants, either legally or illegally. Funny thing is these illegal immigrants don't seem to have much qualms about whether they are legally entitled to certain benefits or not.
They're only offered k-12 education and emergency care.

Ok then, so you're just going to ignore my point about there being a difference between what's legally and illegally being received. Ok then, proceed with denying reality.

If they're breaking the law in regards to services they are not entitled to then charge and deport. If I'm not mistaken, enforcement of this happens.

And illegal immigrants don't use fake documents and social security numbers either.  :rolleyes:

Of course they don't. That would be illegal so, obviously, they don't do that.

Then demand employers stop taking them to use as legitimate documentation to work in this country.

This has always been the No. 1 idea imo. Just fine the crap out of business owners who don't do their due diligence when hiring. Throw them in jail on repeated offenses, large-scale neglect of the law.

Yes, forcing private citizens to do the work the federal government is supposed to do under threat of civil and criminal penalties is always the best way to go. This allows the fed to preserve precious resources to deal with pressing needs like free community college and partisan IRS auditing.

That's a great way to put most farmers out of business and increase construction costs.

It's one thing to fine/arrest someone for deliberately hiring an illegal laborer. It's completely another to require some uncertain degree of investigation and diligence, particularly when the fed is totally complicit in the [legal] immigration process.

It shouldn't be that hard to implement a nationally-mandated e-verify system where employers have to register their employees ssns, names, and birthdays. With that data, it would not be difficult for the Feds to ferret out stolen identities, and it also wouldn't be onerous on the employer.

Unfortunately, this sort of common sense legislation strengthening enforcement cannot even pass a republican congress because half of them are pro-amnesty.
