Nancy Pelosi, can be prosecuted for breaking the law, removed from Congress, placed on trial and jailed if deemed her actions are against the law.  The Criminals inside the White House are going to use Executive Orders, signed by the radical Barack Obama to cripple the United States by allowing millions and millions of illegal aliens to gain citizenship or some other radical resident status by executive order. Harry Reid has decided to shut down the Senate which shuts down the peoples vote as he does not and will not vote on any congressional legislation but the people have made their intentions clear, no more illegal aliens, close the borders, remove illegal aliens from all social welfare programs, deport illegal aliens and if Congress cannot respect or protect the people are being forced into action.  For the first time in history an oligarchy controls the United States of America and the country will fail in total. Join the Tea Party and get some answers.  If it were not for the Tea Party across America you would be living under direct communism. 

A dictatorship is defined as an autocratic form of government in which the government is ruled by an individual, the dictator. It has three possible meanings but let me be clear, Barack Hussein Obama is now a dictator, the first one in American history.

A government controlled by one person or a small group of people. In this form of government the power rests with one person. Such power is often obtained forcibly. A dictator usually takes away much of people's freedom.

In contemporary usage, dictatorship refers to an autocratic form of absolute rule by leadership unrestricted by law, constitutions, or other social and political factors within the state.

We now see Barack Obama, disregard the laws made by Congress, the peoples representative.

Barack Obama is dangerous to your liberties and freedom and every legal method must be used to impeach, remove and jail the tyrant.

These statements are harsh but based on our U.S. Constitution which gives you the right to replace a government outside of the law.  You must stop the fear and stand up for your family, your neighbors and your country. Brave men are often afraid but they overcome their fears when the bear gets too close, or the fire burns too close to home or the family is cold in the winter and the children are hungry. You can stand up now, you’re not alone.

You now feel the flames from the Corruption of Barack Hussein Obama, the limited and biased press has worked against you, never telling you the entire truth, now millions cannot eat, cannot work and cannot care for their children. Our nation has never suffered so much and so long and Barack Obama and his Czars are the reason for your pain and suffering.  The networks ABC, CBS, NBC, CNBC, MSNBC, CNN and The New York Times, Boston Globe, L.A. Times and others have kept the truth from you and are close to destroying the entire nation.  You have to stand up now, show your face and be counted, this is the day that you stand up, even if you’re alone and protect your nation and the lives of your children

Barack Hussein Obama, has always lied to the Black American Community and his lies continue today.  Excessive unemployment, lower wages, limited opportunities, drug ridden neighborhoods and jail time waits for every Black American, thanks to Barack Obama.  The NAACP argues, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson just keep talking, telling their lies to hold on to power and to gain that power they strangle the black community.  Welfare has never helped a man, not in the long term.  Welfare, ObamaCare, Food Stamps, Section Eight Housing, Free Cell Phones and all the other taxpayer funded social programs kill the spirit of the black man, the Democrats know this to be true but could care less, and less.

Elitism is the belief or attitude that some individuals, who supposedly form an elite — a select group of people with, intellect, wealth, specialized training or experience, or other distinctive attributes

Crony capitalism is a pejorative term describing an allegedly capitalist economy in which success in business depends on close relationships between businesspeople and government officials. It may be exhibited by favoritism in the distribution of legal permits, government grants, special tax breaks, and so forth. Crony capitalism is believed to arise when political cronyism spills over into the business world; self-serving friendships and family ties between businessmen and the government influence the economy and society to the extent that it corrupts public-serving economic and political ideals

Cronyism is partiality to long-standing friends, especially by appointing them to positions of authority, regardless of their qualifications. Hence, cronyism is contrary in practice and principle to meritocracy. Cronyism exists when the appointer and the beneficiary are in social contact; often, the appointer is inadequate to hold his or her own job or position of authority, and for this reason the appointer appoints individuals who will not try to weaken him or her, or express views contrary to those of the appointer. Politically, "cronyism" is derogatorily used.

Criminals like Jesse Jackson Jr. sit in jail today, because they took hard earned money from the Black American Families and spent it on luxury items, firs and watches.  I can tell you now, and I will repeat it tomorrow that an honest black man doesn’t need help.  For hundreds of years, the spirit of America has lived inside the black man and even today that spirit lives on but it is being smothered by government.  The DNC Democratic party is now the Progressive Liberal Socialist Democratic Party and they have destroyed the black family with welfare and hand outs.  Look closely at this real life painting of a black pioneer, does he look like he needs help?  I think not.

The Fix It , Obama likes to think he can fix things and of course the reality is that Barack Obama has made everything worse around the world.  Before he was elected, he didn’t know and now you know it.  Barack Obama is a spin artist community communist organizer.  He really doesn’t understand the true world in which you live.  The colored family was wanting solutions but Obama brought them more and more problems.  You’re not going to get a free lunch so stop waiting for the fix.  Obama is little more than a street criminal, that’s where he came from and therefore Americans will return him to the streets, with drug dealers, black panthers, gun dealers and other criminals.  Obama is by far, the worst American, the worst President.

Richard Nixon ignored the people.  

Bill Clinton ignored the people. 

Hillary Clinton ignores the people and Barack Obama not only ignores the people, he ignores the laws of the land and has developed an Administrative State like in China, Russia, North Korea, Syria, Iran, Saudi Arabi and other criminal states.  

Are you now afraid of your government?  Are you afraid that Obama will make millions of illegal aliens legal to gain power for the century?  Are you worried that your local police force is now a military force?  Are you worried that Iran has a nuclear weapon?  Are you worried about Israel and HAMAS?  Are you under-employed or unemployed?  Do you understand that ObamaCare ACA was a kill shot to the United States?  Do you understand Chicago style criminal political behavior?  Do you think that Obama is illegal himself, millions do?  Why do we pay more and more for oil and the Obama Administration blocks the Keystone pipeline?  Why is Lois Lerner still free and not jailed?  How many Obama Czars are communist?  Why did Obama let ISIS in Iraq win battles on the ground for over a year?  Why does Obama allow almost 200,000 people to be killed in Syria?  You should wonder about Fast and Furious gun running by the Obama government to the wetbacks in Mexico and cartel drug dealers?  The national debt over 17 trillion dollars and your great grandchildren are already bankrupt?  Negroes are burning down another hard working town, leaving their federal housing projects to destroy neighborhood stores? Eric Holder is lawless in his actions unless your black?  The NSA RECORDS everything you say or write.  Every phone and web site is monitored by the FBI, CIA, NSA, DOD and every single action is illegal.  Who gave your representative cash money?  Do you have a boycott list?  Have you talked to your neighbors?  How many troops will end up in Iraq?  Why did Obama trade killers for Bergdhal?  What did Obama whisper to Putin?  Is Putin going to move his 40,000 troops to invade Ukraine?  Why is the Crimea off the front pages?  Who allowed Ebola on U.S. soil?  Who is taking the tens of thousands of illegal alien children?  Who get paid?  Is a solar panel lighting your home?  Do you have a Chevy Volt?  

Many people may remember that Richard Nixon had a choice, leave the White House or face Impeachment and most likely criminal charges and a prison term.  It seems to many, I suppose, that Barack Obama does not believe in the law and Eric Holder may support his lawless activity.  If this be the case, the people, that are plotting with the White House can be held accountable for their illegal activities to claim citizenship for millions of illegal aliens by executive fiat from Barack Obama. The collusion, conspiracy to defraud the legal citizen is amazing and its happening right now.  If you believe in prayer, do it now.  If you love your country, contact your representative and demand hard and legal work.  It is well within the means of the patriot to cause financial harm to the companies that are now inside the White House trying their best to get more and more illegal aliens, more and more cheap labor, less and less jobs for Americans.  The conservative base must now prompt the legal response, the pocket to pocket economy of America controls the world. 

A new report reveals that this Administration has released 36,000 criminal aliens from ICE detention—including this report found: 193 homicide convictions, 1,153 sexual offenders, 303 kidnappingconvictions and 1,075 aggravated assault convictions.

These dangerous offenders should be placed back into custody.  

You know what else is extreme? Extreme is trying to pass an immigration bill that would double the flow of new guest workers into our country—and triple the grants of permanent admissions—when 50 million working-age Americans are out of work.

It is not xenophobic but compassionate to say we should focus our attention on helping struggling American workers. It is not xenophobic but out patriotic duty to defend the integrity of our borders and the rule of law. It is the oath we all took as Senators to defend the constitution of the United States.

There was one group of people omitted from the remarks of Leader Reid and Senator Schumer: American workers.

According to CBO, Senate Democrats immigration bill would increase unemployment while reducing wages for the next 12 years and reducing Americans’ per-person wealth for the next 17 years. If you bring in 30 million people in the next ten years, as this bill would do, tripling the number that would normally be given legal status in America, it would bring down the per-person wealth and it would bring down wages. Surely the Chamber of Commerce understands the free market. Do they not? Surely Senator Reid understands that. Does he not? On a conference call yesterday worrying about the American steel industry, we talked about how a large amount of steel was being dumped into America. Why? What is the impact of that? What is the concern? More steel equals lower prices for steel. If you bring in more cotton, the lower the price is for cotton. If you bring in more labor, you’ll have lower wages for American workers. That’s what the CBO tells us. There is no disputing that, yet we have Senators who repeatedly speak on the floor and say this is going to increase wages. Give me a break. You can’t just say something and think that’s going to make it a reality. It’s the opposite of reality.

Under current law, we admit more than six hundred thousand guest workers each year and 1 million permanent immigrants.

Under the Senate bill, we would admit more than 1.2 million guest workers each year and give permanent residency to 30 million immigrants over the next ten years. A tripling of what the normal rate would be.

Research from Harvard professor Dr. Borjas shows that American workers lose more than $400 billion in wages each year due to competition from lower-cost workers from abroad. Dr. Borjas’ research also shows that from 1980-2000, he concluded wages declined 7.4% for lower-skilled American workers due to high immigration levels.

So there is no doubt, colleagues, you have to understand this: A vote for the Reid-Schumer immigration bill is a vote to lower the wages of American workers. Not only that, it makes it harder for Americans to get a job, period.

The people hurt worst by the Democrats’ immigration policies are young Americans, low-income Americans, and minority workers.

Minority workers, according to Dr. Borjas’ studies and others, are particularly damaged by the large flow. This includes Hispanics who come here lawfully or have been legalized in America and are trying to get started on the way up and would like to have a pay raise, but their wages are being pulled down by an extraordinary, unjustified flow of labor that we can’t absorb. We don’t have enough jobs. That’s the problem. We need to ask: Is this a good idea for America? Can we absorb this number of people and maintain decent wages or are we in a longer-term trend and we’re just going to allow middle and lower-income workers see their wages erode? It’s a big issue and we need to be honest about it.

Mr. Schumer says we should do the bidding of the Chamber of Commerce. Well, talking about hijacking, it seems Mr. Schumer’s party has been hijacked by special interests and they’ve lost sight of who they claim to represent—working Americans. That’s my charge. We have a generous immigration policy. We need to make sure it’s enforced correctly and carried out lawfully. That’s what the American people have asked of us. They’ve demanded for 40 years that we create a lawful system that we can be proud of, that treats people fairly. You make your application to come to America, you lay out your qualifications, and they’re evaluated and the best people, the most deserving on an objective basis are the ones that are admitted. What’s wrong with that? That’s what Canada does. That’s what the UK does. It’s what Australia does. There is nothing wrong with that. That’s what we should be doing. We should decide how many people the country can absorb and what wage categories before we admit huge numbers and certainly before we double the number we presently bring in.

Some lawmakers who support the Senate plan claim that tech industries couldn’t find qualified Americans—even though we have twice as many American STEM graduates each year as jobs to fill.

A recent paper by Professor Hal Salzman at Rutgers University carefully analyzed data from the Department of Education and the Department of Labor. This is what he concluded: ‘The first data to consider is the broad notion of a supply crisis in which the United States does not produce enough STEM graduates to meet industry demand. In fact, the nation graduates more than two times as many STEM student each year as find jobs in STEM field. For the 180,000 or so annual opening, U.S. Colleges and Universities supply 500,000 graduates.’ They supply more than twice the number of graduates as we have jobs for now. I’m a little dubious about some of these big business triples claiming they can’t get enough people. We hear people in Silicon Valley promoting any kind of immigration as long as they get more workers. Mr. Salzman says this, ‘The only clear impact of the large IT guest worker inflows over this decade can be seen in salary levels which have remained at their late 1990 levels and which dampens incentives for domestic students to pursue STEM degrees.’ Then he goes on to say this, and I agree with this line, ‘If there is a shortage, where are the market indicators?’

So, Mr. Donohue and your friends at the Chamber of Commerce, you believe in the free market. Why are wages down if we have a shortage of workers? Why aren’t wages going up?

Here’s what one prominent CEO had to say: ‘There are 600,000 jobs in manufacturing that are going unfilled today. This immigration bill can go a long way toward helping us fill those positions.’

From 2000-2013, the grim fact is that all net job gains went to immigrant workers. Under the Democrat plan, if this bill were to pass the house, this would accelerate.

From 2000 to 2013, the number of working-age Americans increased by 16 million. Yet the number of people—American workers—actually fell 1.3 million. That’s why the unemployment rate and the dropout rate is so high. During the same period, 2000-2013, the number of working-age immigrants increased by 8.8 million while 5.3 million immigrants gained employment. So, really, all the jobs created during this period of time have been in effect, mathematically speaking, taken by foreign workers. Is this healthy? Isn’t this one of the reasons we’re having a hard time today?

There are 50 million working-age Americans who aren’t working. Wages today are lower than they were in 1999. Median household incomes have dropped nearly $2,300 dollars since 2009.

The percentage of Americans in workforce is the lowest in 36 years. So Mr. Reid and Mr. Schumer, I’m glad to talk about this issue. I’m glad to talk about immigration. But we’re going to talk about what’s in the interest of the American people. We’re not going to talk about your politics and your ideology and your special interest. We’re going to talk about what’s good for America. And what’s good for America is to get more of our unemployed working, to get wages going up rather than down. I’m not surprised you didn’t talk about workers and wages in your remarks this morning when you demeaned people who disagree with you and oppose your great bill that you’ve drafted that will not work.

We are not going to be scared or intimidated into handing over control of our immigration laws to a small group of special interests who meet in your office.

We need to have a lawful system of immigration that we can be proud of. That is what the American people have asked of us and Congress refuses to give.”

The truth is that the policy formula favored by President Obama—more regulation, hostility to American energy, anti-growth taxation, surging debt, bigger government, more federal interference, government-run healthcare, and mindless immigration policies—are the cause, not the cure, for growing middle class distress.”

These companies want more and more illegal aliens and by the looks of it the corrupt Barack Obama government and the Congress will allow illegal aliens to run wild across America, killing, murdering, raping, shooting, robbing and causing havoc waiting for their welfare checks.

At this point in our history we have every legal right, per the U.S. Constitution to stop the radicals to act against the law, by any legal means possible.  It is Obama's hope that the good citizens will be forced into some illegal action and that must not happen.  The Obama Administrative State White House is baiting the right, luring the Patriots into an open field so he can institute Marshall Law on all the citizens of America.  Obama foolishly draws a red line on American soil that is a direct and present danger to the Republic.  You are now urged to contact your individual representative and threaten to impeach and remove them if Obama continues to break the law or shall the people declare their own Marshall Law?  The people have the total right of free speech and have full right to protect their property and lives against a President that may become the first tyrant in America.  The revolutionary war was fought and won to guarantee the freedom and liberty of the legal citizens of the United States.  If you do not see your individual representative on T.V., talking on the radio, calling citizens to actions you have the wrong person in the job, Republican or Democratic.  They say, we suppose that the White House is full of special interest groups trying to persuade the radical President Obama to make his executive move to make legal millions upon millions of illegal aliens.  If this does happen there must be a nationwide peaceful work strike in all areas of the economy.  Every store must close, every bus must stop, every train must be side railed and even the grocery stores must be empty.  Illegal Aliens, by the millions, are taking the economy to the lowest level seen in many decades.  The radical President Obama is lawless and supported by radical Eric Holder who is also lawless, by his non-actions.  Barack Obama, Eric Holder, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and thousands of others must be held accountable by the citizens if they force illegal aliens to become legal by executive fiat.  

“Recent developments suggest the President’s planned executive amnesty could be increasingly imminent and broad in scope. House Democrat Leader Pelosi—clearly one of the White House’s closest allies—has just urged the President to issue ‘the broadest possible’ executive actions. Open borders groups have grown bolder and louder in their unlawful demands, launching a campaign for the President to ‘go big,’ and demanding that he ‘stand up’ to Congress and ‘expand DACA.’

Will Congress defend itself? Will it defend the country's laws, its people, and the idea that a nation has enforceable borders that cannot be waived away with the flick of a pen?

While the Senate recesses, activist groups and special interest lobbyists are huddling with the White House to implement through executive action that which Congress explicitly rejected. These are the same groups who met to devise the Senate’s ‘Gang of Eight’ plan, until that effort was exposed and then halted by the American people and their representatives in the House.

It is chilling to consider now that these groups, frustrated in their aims by our Constitutional system of government, are plotting with the Obama Administration to collect their spoils through executive fiat.

The Associated Press writes:

‘White House officials are making plans to act before November's mid-term elections to grant work permits to potentially millions of immigrants who are in this country illegally…White House officials led by Domestic Policy Council Director Cecilia Munoz and White House Counsel Neil Eggleston, along with Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, have been working to chart a plan on executive actions Obama could take, hosting frequent meetings with interest groups… the U.S. Chamber of Commerce says it is actively working to determine whether there are steps Obama could take by executive action that could help the business community.’

So, with American workers hurting, special interest groups are collaborating with the White House on measures that would pull down wages and impoverish working Americans?

The steps that must be taken are clear: the Senate must vote on the House-passed measure to stop these unlawful actions. It is true that Majority Leader Reid is blocking it from a vote. But Reid acts only with the blessing of his members in the Democrat conference—so the American people have the power to force it to a vote through their elected Senators.

Any Senator who fails to request such a vote is complicit in these planned actions.

The American people have begged and pleaded for years for our immigration laws to be enforced. But the politicians have refused. 

Now these planned executive actions would nullify our laws, invite a massive new wave of unimpeded illegality, and strip the American people of their lawful right to have their jobs and communities protected.

This must be stopped.
