The Big Lie

Because he did it much in the way that I like to comment on political statements, Mark Alexander of the Patriot Post deserves full credit for this post.
Legend:
EO = Executive Order
BO = Barack Obama
MA = Mark Alexander
Otis = Me

MA: As for some of the EO specifics outlined by Obama, allow me to take those apart: 

BO: When I took office, I committed to fixing this broken immigration system.

MA: But he didn’t, as I have already outlined.

BO: Families who enter our country the right way and play by the rules watch others flout the rules.

MA: And Obama is now rewarding the latter group with amnesty.

BO: Business owners who offer their workers good wages and benefits see the competition exploit undocumented immigrants by paying them far less.

MA: So now, all those jobs can go to people who are willing to do them for far less.

BO: It’s been this way for decades. And for decades, we haven’t done much about it.

MA: As noted, Democrats have obstructed border security measures for decades.

BO: Over the past six years, deportations of criminals are up 80 percent. 

MA: Actually, more Demo smoke and mirrors. Obama changed how “deportations” are counted.

BO: Overall, the number of people trying to cross our border illegally is at its lowest level since the 1970s.

MA: Obviously that is because it is evident, even to prospective illegal immigrants, that Obama’s economic “recovery” policies14 are a colossal failure and the prospects even for low paying jobs have dried up.

BO: There are actions I have the legal authority to take as president – the same kinds of actions taken by Democratic and Republican before me.

MA: Actually, those “actions taken by Democratic and Republican presidents” are in no way comparable to Obama’s EO, as noted by legal scholars both liberal and conservative.

On his three point plan:

BO: First, we’ll build on our progress at the border with additional resources for our law enforcement personnel so that they can stem the flow of illegal crossings, and speed the return of those who do cross over. 

MA: No, “build on our progress at the border” is more double talk for obstructing efforts to “stem the flow of illegal crossings.”

BO: Second, I’ll make it easier and faster for high-skilled immigrants, graduates and entrepreneurs to stay and contribute to our economy. 

MA: As noted, this really means “receive all associated taxpayer-subsidized services like housing, schooling and medical care” and join the ranks of dependent Democrat voter constituencies.

BO: Third, we’ll take steps to deal responsibly with the millions of undocumented immigrants who already live in our country. 

MA: That means, in the end, figure out how to provide them fast-track citizenship.

Obama continues:

BO: We’re a nation of laws. 

MA: The audacity of including those words in an announcement to abjectly violate those laws falls squarely into the BIG Lie propaganda category.

BO: It’s not who we are as Americans. 

MA: Barack Obama is wholly unqualified to advise Patriots “who we are as Americans.”

BO: Their … hopes, dreams and patriotism are just like ours.

MA: Again, Obama is wholly unqualified to advise Patriots “who we are as Americans.”

BO: We expect people who live in this country to play by the rules. 

MA: We expect the same of our president.

BO: To those members of Congress who question my authority … I have one answer: Pass a bill. 

MA: Actually, passing a bill comes first. You have no authority to legislate.

BO: That’s not how our democracy works… 

MA: Indeed, it is not.

BO: Let me tell you why I … feel so strongly about [immigration]. 

MA: No, tell us why you did nothing about it in 2009 or 2010 when your party controlled the House and Senate?

BO: [Immigrants are not] taking a dime from the government. 

MA: Seriously?

BO: Scripture tells us that we shall not oppress a stranger, for we know the heart of a stranger – we were strangers once, too. 

MA: So now Obama is citing Exodus 22:21 from a government podium? Can he do that given the whole “wall of separation” thing? I wonder if his mentor Jeremiah Wright added that line for him?

BO: What makes us Americans is our shared commitment to an ideal – that all of us are created equal.

MA: Unless you’re Obama, in which case you are above all others.

Otis: Normally I would be inserting similar but more poorly written comments, all the while cursing at the computer screen.  Mr. Alexander manages to address many points, using prior documentation to support.
The Democrats' goal is to build constituency that is why they have resisted enforcing border control. The Republicans have compromised in the past, pushed reluctantly by their own constituency, allowing rule changes in exchange of promised enforcement. Now that a pattern of Democratic dishonesty has been PROVEN, the Republicans have now choice but to resist.
BO created all lot of his legislative problems by forcing ACA through without Republican support, He proved that  was incapable of compromise and later has been revealed of having purposefully lied to divert Republican characterizations that ACA was effectively a government grab of control over the medical industry.
The bride generally gets angry with me for using profanity but within the reach of BO's sound, anything is fair.
