Another Illegal Immigration Change From Obama
Obama uses Executive Privilege to change the rules again. From Breitbart:
The new rule allows illegal immigrants to apply for a provisional unlawful presence waiver while still in the U.S. (rather than having to leave the country to do so). As the rule explains, the change “is expected to result in a reduction of the time that U.S. citizens are separated from their immediate relatives, thus reducing the financial and emotional hardship for these families.”
Everything we feared is coming true as he races through his “destroy the U.S.” agenda.

A common example would be a soldier marries a Korean or a German, they come back to the US, she applies for citizenship, years later she is still waiting, and she has to fly to Canada or Mexico to reapply to enter. If Immigration decides to screw her, then she is in a foreign country with no way back. That’s super-bad if her husband is busy in Korea, and the neighbors are watching the kids.
For the immigrants we want in our country, this is a good change. However, Obama is not courting the military vote.

* I meant to say “if the husband is busy in Afghanistan”.

I am a resident of Texas, and one who comes in contact, daily, with the biggest group of illegals, those from Mexico that are here working.
Two points: First, the vast majority are hard working, honest, paying taxes (through payroll deduction, sales tax and property tax from their rent). Our problem is not the people who are doing menial jobs YOU would never do. Treating illegal immigration as a problem is smoke and mirrors by the con artists in government. Simple and quick solution is work visa program. That alone would free hundreds of border patrol to go after the drug traffickers. Which is the REAL problem.
Our problem is the open borders for the illegal drugs that fuel the civil war in Mexico, Central America, and South America that is now moving North. If you have a problem with that, thank your Federal law enforcement agencies for shipping thousands of semi autos to drug cartels.
Secondly, this whole system is set up by big business and the government to deny people entry to our country legallly. WhY? So that they can force wages for American citizens down by the threat of cheap illegal labor. Of course it is painfully obvious to see the governments position. Simply check the donations to campaign funding, by representative, to the corporate farms and factories that benefit the most. Then look at their voting records.
This is not new. Go back to the 50’s and read how Eisenhower tried to break that down by replacing INS agents in border states with those assigned on the Canadian border. The loudest complaints came from big business and corporate farms losing their workforce.

My dad was a border-crossing migrant laborer in the 1940’s. He plied his trade in France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany and Austria. Actually, he thinks he might have passed through a corner of Holland one night, too, but the whole regiment was running blacked out and he was driving the last truck so he’s not too sure.
And although he was paid, and the people of every one of those countries have offered their thanks for the work he did there, not one of them asked him to move in and vote in their elections. I’m welcome to visit but I still have to get a visa stamp, see what I’m saying?

Another Texan here. Bullshit, JPD.
If you actually believed that “they’re only here to work”, then you’d be fine with 100% background check and no government benefits for illegals or guest workers.
Your policy overlooks two points: we do not need the level of low wage labor even the 50s required, and our welfare system is way too generous, making doing nothing an incentive even for citizens.
