What are your opinions Obama Could Face Impeachment If He Pardons Illegals?
Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly is warning that if President Barack Obama ever bypasses Congress and uses his pardon power to make millions of illegal aliens citizens, he could face serious calls for his impeachment.
“If President Obama were to sign an executive order giving illegal aliens amnesty, his career would be over and an impeachment movement would explode,” O’Reilly said Friday night on his “Talking Points” segment during his top-rated Fox show.
At the same time, O’Reilly said he did not believe reports that the Obama administration would grant such a blanket amnesty.
Fox News, however, reported this week: “The Obama administration has been holding behind-the-scenes talks to determine whether the Department of Homeland Security can unilaterally grant legal status on a mass basis to illegal immigrants, a former Bush administration official who spoke with at least three people involved in those talks told FoxNews.com.”
The Department of Homeland Security estimates that at least 10.8 million illegal immigrants are living in the United States.
During his 2008 campaign, Obama promised pro-immigration and Hispanic groups that he would make an amnesty program a top priority. But such a plan has taken a back seat in favor of other Obama legislative initiatives, including healthcare and financial regulation reform.
With congressional elections fast approaching, both the legislative calendar and the climate for new immigration legislation appears to offer immigration legislation a slim chance of passing this year.
Republicans, led by Arizona Sen. John McCain, have been angered that Obama has done little to secure the U.S.-Mexico border, and have made that a prerequisite condition before any discussion of immigration reform can take place.
Reports that the Obama administration is weighing ways to circumvent Congress have Republicans worried. On Monday, eight Republican senators sent the president a letter saying they are concerned that he will grant unilateral amnesty to America’s illegal immigrant population if his efforts to overhaul current U.S. policy fails in Congress.
The letter called on Obama to abandon any attempt to "unilaterally extend either deferred action or parole to millions of illegal aliens in the United States. Such a move would further erode the American public’s confidence in the federal government and its commitment to securing the borders and enforcing the laws already on the books."
The eight senators who signed the letter were Charles Grassley of Iowa, Orrin Hatch of Utah, David Vitter of Louisiana, Jim Bunning of Kentucky, Saxby Chambliss of Georgia, Johnny Isakson of Georgia, James Inhofe of Oklahoma and Thad Cochran of Mississippi.
GOP Rep. Steve King of Iowa told Fox News that the White House has solicited opinions from experts on possible avenues for granting "amnesty for a large number of people."
A former Bush administration official also told Fox News that talks on the subject have been held by Obama officials who are "studying legal ways to legalize people without having to go through any congressional debate about it."
Republicans believe that Obama is anxious to grant citizenship to millions of illegals so he can add millions of new Democratic voters to the electoral rolls, ensuring his re-election in 2012 and tipping the national balance of power in favor of Democratic candidates for the foreseeable future.
O’Reilly also criticized the Obama administration for its lax treatment of the illegal alien issue, noting that Obama had appointed Harold Hurrt to be the liaison between the federal government and states over the increasingly contentious issue of illegal immigration.
Hurrt is the former police chief of Houston and Phoenix, and O’Reilly says he is “outwardly sympathetic to illegal aliens. As [police] chief, he refused to enforce federal immigration law. Now Hurrt is a federal immigration official? Come on, that’s insane.”
Hurrt’s appointment “proves that the president is extremely left on the immigration issue,” O’Reilly said.

The house would first have to impeach him, then the senate would have to remove him from office. All we can do as citizens is not to vote for him for a second term. I do not plan to vote for him next time anyway. At heart all he is a college professor
Payoffs for Senate’s Health Care Bill
Politics went into high gear this week when 60 necessary votes for the U.S. Senate’s health care bill were secured after granting special concessions and payoffs to certain states. Some senators defended these tactics, saying that “payoffs are nothing unusual”; and that this is “the nature of a democracy” and “part of the normal legislative process.” But what exactly were these payoffs, and how does God look at this kind of political maneuvering?

11. Skilled JOBS taken away from citizens——-11,579,072
12. Illegal alien fugitives in USA——-740,298
FACTS ON COST
In 2002, households headed by illegal aliens used $10 BILLION DOLLARS more in government services( the usage COST HAS INCREASED HEAVILY in 2010) than they paid in taxes. And, the COST IS MUCH HIGHER in heavy illegal alien populated geographical areas as California, Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, and Louisiana.
If illegal aliens were given amnesty, the fiscal deficit at the federal level would grow by over $29 billions. With the approval of the new healthcare to give FREE health care to the illegal aliens, the national debt over decades will be exceeding 22 trillion dollars.
Illegal immigration is costing each taxpayer about $2,174 each. In states with high concentrations of illegal aliens the amount is much higher(California, Arizona, Texas, New Mexico, and Louisiana.)
Amount of dollars going south in 2006 was $45 Billion, which has risen to 350 billions. All that money left the US economy was not used here to create additional job opportunities and stimulate the economy. Hence, this is an immense net LOST of TAX REVENUE to the US economy.
Heavy Burden on the SSA: Illegals of questionable SS status (by 2050, 300,000 ILLEGAL Mexicans) will be in the system at a cost projection of $650 million annually to the taxpayers who has payed to the system(these illegals did not contribute, yet they are drawing from SSA.)
REAL COST in dollars: each Illegal alien will result in a $100,000 net annual cost to taxpayers. In REALITY, that’s costing the country TRILLIONS of dollars so far.
Illegal immigration brings in an influx of poor, unskilled, and uneducated people along with all their inherent problems and infectious diseases. That is an importation of about 10 million high school dropouts. They generate a welfare state in which cause a heavy demand on TAX revenue to take care of their human service needs. Additionally, they takes away jobs from our youth & citizens.
The largest component of illegal aliens, originate from Mexico, and Latin America.
COSTS By ILLEGAL ALIENS
NOT ONLY ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION HAS BANKRUPTED OUR ECONOMY,also it has debased our educational system, it has raised our health insurance premium, it has bankrupted medical centers, illegal alien drivers endangers our highway & byways, illegal aliens’ heavy usage of human services has raised our taxes exponentially, illegal aliens spread contagious diseases, they commit crimes & homicides & rapes & mayhem, they demoralize social values, they use our legal systems against citizens & government, incarceration of illegal alien offenders increased financial burden on the state, they cause racial unrest, they draw from retirement they did not contribute to–bankrupting our retirement system, money are send out of the country not supporting our economy or generate JOBS, they pollute our streets with drugs that kills or children, illegal alien criminal fugitives endangers the environment we lives in, they have destroyed acreages & acreages of forest lands at the cost to the taxpayers of 5.1 million dollars, they caused displacement of 18,880,000 American workers or take away skilled jobs from citizens, and many, many more…
SUPPORTING ILLEGAL ALIENS IS NOT A SOUND FISCAL POLICY!!! ILLEGAL ALIENS HAS BANKRUPTED THE CURRENT CALIFORNIA STATE ECONOMY in which California IS MORE THAN 30 BILLION DOLLARS IN DEBT !!!)
Hence, ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION’ DEMANDS ON OUR ECONOMY has caused CITIZENS’ TAXES to escalate enormously to pay for ILLEGAL ALIENS’ immense demand for human services.
…..SUPPORTERS of your campaign, since ILLEGAL ALIENS & ALL the Latino political factions has thrown their weights behind you(as THEY IDENTIFY YOU ARE A SUPPORTER OF RIGHTS FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS), clearly tells us YOU ARE NOT ON THE SIDE OF AMERICAN TAXPAYERS.
YOU DO NOT QUALIFY until YOU know how to be an AMERICAN & SIDE WITH AMERICA first.

THE TEA PARTY & THE CIRCUS – Final Healthcare Reform Protest
PLEASE HELP US SHARE THIS VIDEO.
On March 16, 2010, Tea Partiers from around the country gathered (in disappointing numbers) in front of the Capitol building for their final protest against health care reform. Also in town, appropriately, was Barnum & Bailey’s actual circus. The protestors voiced their usual conspiratorial concerns about Healthcare Reform: that it was a government takeover and more government, of course, equals less freedom; that it would euthanize seniors too expensive to treat; and that the bill would sink the nation into irrecoverable debt, despite its actually reducing the deficit by more than $100-billion over the next ten years. Averse to facts, no one interviewed was able to cite evidence for their false beliefs about the reform proposal, and instead suggested we seek the “truth” from Glenn Beck and Fox News.
THE PROPOSAL
The healthcare reform proposal being advanced in congress, while imperfect, would bring long overdue changes to a broken system. Far from being rushed, the proposals that make up this reform have been debated for years, and this congress has been working on a bill for many months. It’s time for an up or down vote on reform.
The proposal will expand healthcare access to over 30-million uninsured Americans, make healthcare more affordable for everyone, hold insurance companies more accountable, end discrimination against Americans with pre-existing conditions, and help stabilize our budget and economy by reducing the deficit by over $100-billion in the next ten years.

YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE:
You can make a difference in the health care debate without leaving your bedroom. So stop typing that narcissistic Facebook status, pause your Mafia Wars game, and actually do something in reality to advance the cause you support by calling your representative. This is so easy. Many people are timid about making phone calls, but a phone call to your representative now could save you a series of phone calls to an uncooperative insurance company in the future. Too lazy to look up your representative’s number? This website makes it even easier–it will find the number, call it for you, and then call your cell phone to connect you. Tell your representative’s office that you support comprehensive health care reform, and urge them to support the public option.
Your Representative needs to hear from you NOW – call them now and tell them to vote YES!
