“YOU’VE GOT A LOT OF SELLOUT REPUBLICANS”
by Sharon Rondeau
(Dec. 5, 2014) — The Americans for Legal Immigration (ALI) Political Action Committee (ALIPAC) has identified 44 members of the current House of Representatives reportedly willing to support Obama’s announced executive actions which will virtually halt scheduled deportations and allow millions of undocumented aliens to remain in the U.S. in violation of federal law.
According to National Review, both House and Senate Republican leadership is unwilling to “fight Obama” on his November 20 declarations which, although not put in writing and signed by Obama, have been issued in the form of a policy-changing memo signed by Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Jeh Johnson.
Johnson is unelected and does not have constitutional authority to “change the law,” as Obama described his new plan on November 25 to an audience in Chicago.
ALIPAC is calling for the ouster of Speaker of the House John Boehner and Senate-Majority-Leader-elect Mitch McConnell, who will be serving his sixth term in the U.S. Senate beginning in January. ALIPAC president William Gheen stated in a radio interview that Obama is overthrowing the U.S. Constitution by violating existing federal law and committing multiple felonies.
Gheen claimed that Boehner and McConnell are “clandestinely” working with Obama to enact his “amnesty” plan. “They’re on the same page as Obama…” he said, in an attempt to please the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which reportedly favors the executive actions. Among those reportedly supportive of the “executive amnesty” are Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa, Rep. Don Young of Alaska, Senator-elect Rep. Cory Gardner of Colorado, and Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen of Florida.
Gheen is not the only public person claiming that Obama has become “tyrannical.” On November 24, Outgoing Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer called Obama “a tyrannical king;” left-leaning Washington Post editorial writer Dana Milbank called him “a weak strongman…a feeble dictator and a timid tyrant.”
At 10:50 in the interview, a recording of Obama campaigning in 2008 assuring would-be supporters that he would not use “signing statements,” as he claimed George W. Bush did before him, to “change” laws passed by Congress.
Obama said that he “taught the Constitution for ten years” and took it “very seriously.”
The interviewer commented that he “had a problem reconciling reality” with the statements Obama made in the past about presidential powers, authority and constitutional restraints. Gheen responded that it appeared that Obama studied the Constitution so as to be able to “subvert it.”
On Thursday, the House of Representatives passed HR 5759, which calls for “immediate suspension without pay” and possible arrest for anyone enacting Obama’s “unconstitutional and/or illegal Executive Action or Executive Order” relating to illegal aliens in the country.
HR 5759 was conceived with the help of the North American Law Center (NALC), which also wrote Articles of Impeachment over the summer citing Obama for committing “criminal identity fraud,” among other high crimes and misdemeanors. The U.S. Patriots Union, which founded NALC, has provided a letter which American citizens can sign and fax to their representatives in support of HR 5759.
Gheen commented that Obama is “ruling by memos,” which he said has eliminated “constitutional governance for the American people.” He called those in Washington responsible for the breakdown of the rule of law “traitors.” He predicted that illegal aliens, if given work permits under Obama’s plan, will be provided cars in order to be able to work and receive favor over native-born Americans because employers will not have to provide health insurance to them.
Gheen stated that “biometrics” will be implanted in the illegals to track them. Such tracking is found in the text of S. 744, the bill passed by the Senate last year which Obama is urging the House to approve.
The interviewer asked what citizens can do, to which Gheen said that the email alerts his organizations dispatches can be replicated by all recipients. Gheen believes that his website and email have been sabotaged by hackers interfering with communications. He does not believe the “battle” can be “won on Facebook.”
Gheen’s interview was broadcast on Wednesday, prior to the House vote approving HR 5759. On Friday, via an article published in The Washington Times, ALIPAC reported that the vote was a “rebuke” against Obama’s plan which could lead to “a full-blown constitutional clash.”
Obama claims that his declared intentions will keep families together and deport felons instead.
National Review reported that members of the House and Senate opposed to Obama’s plan are seeking support from the public.
NumbersUSA has reported that a “growing number of Republicans” and at least 12 Democrats have taken a stand against Obama’s executive actions.
Forgive them, Father, for they know not what they do.
Congress might talk about it, may even set up a committee to study it. But actually do something? Don’t hold your breath. When I was an EMT with our local ambulance crew, and some unfortunate soul was gasping his last breath, we called it CTD (circling the drain). America is CTD.
