Comments on: Obama Administration To Stop Deporting Some Young Illegal Immigrants (With Video)

REGARDING:
“They are Americans in their hearts, in their minds and in every other way but one, on paper,” Obama said.”

This makes you wonder if perhaps we should consider deporting any who are Americans only on paper, those whose hearts and minds reject America.
Nah, we’ll let them stay too. (Although they ARE free to leave if they wish.)

“Congress has been wrangling over the Dream Act for several years but has failed to act, Obama said Friday, in explaining in part why the administration was stepping in.

THIS is a dangerous thing. Being kind to children and making allowances for their situation is a good thing but deciding to act in a manner not authorized by Congress is a dangerous precedent. What if some future president decides that because Congress failed to pass the legislation, it is up to him to sterilize all undesirable short people?

When Jeff Miller said, “It effectively bypasses Congress and grants what is essentially amnesty for a portion of the illegal immigrant population,” he hit on one saving grace: The President has the power to grant amnesty, so he is not breaking the law when he ignores it. The President IS above the law since he can pardon any infraction of the law.

David for kindness and caution

REGARDING:
“This land belongs to God, not man, and people should be able to live wherever they choose.”

Interesting statement but unacceptable when taken to its logical conclusion. If you don’t own where you live and anyone is free to move into your house because it doesn’t belong to you, but rather to God, then you have no home. Communal ownership has been tried many times and at last count had failed every last time.

Regarding, Leviticus 19: 33-34 “And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not vex him. But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.”

Can’t argue with God but can dispute over interpretations. Living among you would of course mean obeying your laws just as you would expect your own folks to do. And not vexing would include treating under the law the same as others. Despite what the President says, the law is NOT just a piece of paper. In fact, the paper may just be where the law is written.

And we’re stuck with the fact that this is not a theocracy, this is not Israel, many of us are not Jewish, the same Author who caused Moses to write those words instructed the killing of every last man, woman and child in the place they were about to enter so there has to be more to it than saying anyone who comes into your house has the God-given right to stay there.

Just Tired why do you not tell that to the Isralis, in regard to the Palistinians?

Why do we have to keep fixing the problem with illegal immigration? If you have to keep fixing something it was never fixed to begin with.

Only the clear concensus of economic collaspe will pave the way to fixing this and many other problems. Let’s Get to Work!, soon I pray as there is much to be done.

As a christian, I do not agree with all of the policies of our President, but as for this particular issue, President Obama did exactly what he should have done according to God’s word (Leviticus 19:33-34). This land belongs to God, not man, and people should be able to live wherever they choose. These are the types of things (how we treat our neighbors) for which God will hold us accountable. If we as a people would live our lives according to God’s instruction, then he would take care of US just as he has promised. I do not worry about things that I have no control over (Matthew 6:25-27) because it’s a waste of time. God is a just God and we all know that this country has many evils to reap.

Richard Nixon want to be a dictator, so does Obama. This man has got to go.6 trillion in national debt and it is not Bush’s fault, so quite blaming him.. As a blue dog democrat he is the worst president we have ever had. period. He has blamed every one but the aliens on mars, and he would blame them if he could prove that they existed. Of course liberals will not take the responibilty for any thing and will spend ever ones money but their own. Look at what they have done to this country, The Democratic party has turn in to a base of liberal elitist , who are bent on turning the country in to a socialist Europe. I agree deport Obama.

To Bryan Bethea

Thank you Bryan for understanding the real issue. I used to think differently, but after have two of my students come to me and say “I am here illegally” has made be look at the facts. A young man in one of my classes told me he came here at 3 years old, did not know he was illegal, has live here for 14 years, gone to school, loves this country, kept his grades high, earned scholarship to college, WANTS TO WORK but can’t, is fearful of being deported to a country he has no memory of, etc. He needs to stay here. He is an American in his heart and has done everything possible to stay here. He did not make the decision, his parent made it for him.

I am not voiting for Obama, but this issue is not political to me, it is the right thing to do for these young people who had no choice. Make them legal, let them work and pay taxes, which is what most want. At the same time remember they love their parents. Also, many of these young people have brothers or sisters who are American by birth.

I changed my mind on immigration issues once I had personal dealing with these children.

Yes, this is definitely a political decision as the President sees his ratings drop. However, let’s deport the undesireable aliens…the drug dealers, gangs, etc., and give the people we have paid to educate a chance to pay us back for their education. If you send them back home with a good education, who benefits? The country where they are working! Let’s get some of our taxes back!

A purely political decision in an election year. It is obvious that the politicians in this country will prostitute themselves out for political gain at the expense of the nation’s best interests. Geo. Washington warned the country of the dangers of political parties and today that warning is more important than ever in that the politicians owe their allegiance more to the party that elected them rather than to their constituency.

Obama did NOT go through the congress which is the legal process.

This is UNCONSTITUTIONAL!! Let CONGRESS VOTE on this process. Let the congress, that represent the people of the land, vote.

Obama is stomping all over our laws of the land and people are fed up. He needs to go. We did not make him God, we made him to represent the people.

Obama needs the illegal’s vote for next election. It is all for political gain.

Parents broke the law. We should never reward lawbreakers.
