38% of Likely U.S. Voters think it’s at least somewhat likely that the House and Senate will present to the POTUS
Voters aren’t overly optimistic that Congress will pass an overhaul of the nation’s immigration laws this year. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 38% of Likely U.S. Voters think it’s at least somewhat likely that the House and Senate will pass comprehensive immigration reform legislation and it will be signed into law by President Obama this year.
But 52% consider that unlikely. This includes just eight percent (8%) who say major immigration reform is Very Likely this year and 15% who say it’s Not At All Likely. Ten percent (10%) are not sure. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
The survey of 1,000 Likely Voters was conducted on May 5-6, 2013 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC.
It still gets worse with only 30% Think Government Likely to Secure Border If Reform Bill Passes
Support for a comprehensive immigration reform plan has fallen slightly, as more voters than ever question the willingness of the federal government to control the nation’s borders. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 55% of Likely U.S. Voters still favor the plans that would give legal status to those here now illegally who have otherwise obeyed the law as long as the government really secures the border to prevent future illegal immigration. Thirty percent (30%) oppose the plan even with the guarantee of tougher border security. Fifteen percent (15%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Now let’s be Real Clear on one single issue…
Far be it from us, seriously we’ve only been like blood-hounds sorting and sniffing out the scent of blood through the ruble that resembles Ground Zero for roughly 20 years now. Additionally we think it’s reasonably
fair to suggest an option to all those concerned. Unlike President Barack Obama who is like a jellyfish, spinelessly relying on those who will align themselves with him in a culture of corruption to get anything done. Therefore, Obama will scour and interpret the U.S. Constitution ad nauseam to find a way. So what if he cannot find any support? Then he’ll just concoct an executive order (which by the way is illegal in his realm of doing things) to get what he wants done.
However, all things being equal, let’s look at what should be done. First and foremost all individuals who are in the nation undocumented, seeking sanctuary cities, and who remain here illegally should be given the ultimatum with assurances of course, to leave the country for a minimum of six months or until we can put together a real reform package.
It’s time to face it gang…nothing resembling real reform will ever happen as long as 19 million illegals remain here to argue, sway, and hold America hostage. Albeit voting or party affiliation what the Democrat Party now has is the majority of ACORN as well as SEIU endorsing them.
To effectuate real change – a change that we all can be proud of it is essential that we all do our part. And without any further adieu those who are in the U.S. illegally should be asked to leave on their terms or face a semblance of internment camps.
We understand that this sounds harsh and cruel but in the real world – or used to be the real world, the reason why America holds dreams for people, truth, justice, and the American way is because once upon a time America with its citizenry and a few politicians were called to order daily by the rule of law.
What Barack Obama does not understand whatsoever is the notion that to have”perceived power” the constructs of such are observed order and justice must be established and preserved.
Think of order as a traffic signal; when all parties do as they are supposed to then there is order on the roads. However, when someone alludes and therefore jumps in order then without reprisal or discipline someone is losing justice to live as freely as the person who thought otherwise when they ran the red light.
So therefore, in order to continue on with the American Way with all the bells and trinkets that go along with that dream – America must return to its rule of law to maintain order and justice.
Just how much money ($) did the Bombers receive? Plus: Three more arrested in assisting…
Finally! We’ve been speculating around here since this entire FUBAR Boston Marathon massacre has occurred when we were alerted that these Tsarnaev brothers and family members (specifically their Mom and Dad) had originally been refugees to this country.
In order for an individual to receive refugee status from the U.S.A. is quite a bit different than all other ways an individual gains acceptance to their tenure in the United States. Refugee status takes reason, living conditions, mental and physical health, political, and even religious beliefs into consideration. An individual must be suffering or in fear of their very lives.
Far be it from me, but what any involvement from certain officers of the federal government have to do with it is simply acknowledged and for us, very frowned upon.
Every time that the US goes to war, hurls aid to other nations after catastrophes, does anything with foreign nationals especially if they are at war – inclusive of the CIA and every other intelligence agency the US has, bet your bottom dollar that there will be refugees coming from that nation. We mean no harm to anyone or his or her circumstances to prove a point.
Why do you suppose when looking for Osama bin Laden he was shown in a fast food store behind the service counter. Why do they refer to the once gorgeous city called Garden Grove California, now it has turned into ‘Garbage’ Grove California? There has to be more “Little Havana’s” in the USA than the sum total in all of Cuba. Yes, yes, this goes as well for Saigon, “Little Baghdad’s” and every other place the USA has gone into help. Now think about Haiti and the ravaged Thailand coasts.
Last week the Boston Herald broke the story that the Boston Marathon bombers were receiving welfare benefits. When he was pressured on this issue Massachusetts Governor–and presidential wannabe and
possible Barack Obama Supreme Court nominee–Deval Patrick basically invoked the right to privacy in an attempt to seal the records so the taxpayers of Massachusetts would not find out how much money the two terrorists had received. He claimed he was just as “curious” as everyone else but his hands were tied.
Now we know exactly what the governor was trying to hide because the Boston Herald has learned that the two terrorists and their parents received at least $100,000 in welfare benefits:
The Tsarnaev family, including the suspected terrorists and their parents, benefited from more than $100,000 in taxpayer-funded assistance — a bonanza ranging from cash and food stamps to Section 8 housing from 2002 to 2012, the Herald has learned.
Sure if this is correct (and I wouldn’t be surprised to learn there is more that hasn’t been released at this point) that only amounts to about $10,000 a year, but that is not a bad haul at all considering the fact the FBI was investigating Tamerlan Tsarnaev for ties to terrorist groups at one point and considering the CIA had concerns as well and Russia was warning the United States about these two brothers, yet no red flags were raised. And let us not forget that none of the family members were even citizens of the United States until Dzhokhar gained citizenship last year, on the anniversary of September 11th nonetheless.
But this is only the tip of the iceberg because one of the only Republicans in the Massachusetts State legislature, Shaunna O’Connell, has been fighting desperately for welfare reform in the cradle of liberty for quite some time but has been unable to gain support with the Democrat controlled government of Massachusetts. 20,000 EBT cards are reported as lost every single month in the state and yet the cards are reissued without question and nobody in the state seems to know where these cards are going or who is receiving the money. Welfare fraud in the state is rampant with an estimated $25 million in waste. You can hear more hear on this issue here.
When Deval Patrick was asked about $25 million in wasted welfare monies he claimed the system itself was sound although there was some “leakage.” We now know that at least $100,ooo of this “leakage” went to terrorists who were plotting against, and carried out, an attack on American soil and at this point one has to wonder who else has received this money and what they are planning to do with it.
Yet the federal government is focused on immigration reform which would make it easier for people like the Tsarnaev brothers to become citizens and gun control on law abiding citizens while the mainstream media is focused on a gay NBA player. You have to have priorities I guess…
As a postscript to this article we are very pleased to inform you — in case you haven’t already heard — that two individuals on expired/defaulted student visa’s from U. Massachusetts at Dartmouth, and holders of Kazakhstan passports. The third is a US citizen fitting in with the other profiles nicely…more tomorrow or later…
The Proposed Immigration Bill by the Gang of Eight
The Proposed Immigration Bill by the Gang of Eight
We are not precisely sure whom it is that these eight U.S. senators are trying to pull this nonsensical piece of legislation on; however, these senators need to understand that there are people who care about the rubbish they are peddling.
We are in the process of reading the proposed legislation (bill) and we encourage our readers, friends, associates, colleagues, and acquaintances to do the same. We only ask that you suggest doing the same with all of those who are around you.
Quite openly it is not a difficult task; however, what has been time consuming is the amount of idiosyncrasies where one needs to stop and admit openly and honestly, “promises, promises…, and we have all heard this before…so what is different now.”
We can assure you that the only differences that exist are those which grant opportunity, amnesty, and/or entitlements to those people who have broken our system of laws and are being rewarded for their deeds.
Since the birth of our nation, the United States has recognized the vital role of lawful immigration, as it brings important economic and cultural benefits. We have always been, and will continue to be, a nation of immigrants.
We are also a nation of laws. The “Gang of Eight” bill introduced in the U.S. Senate violates the very rule of law principle that creates opportunity for immigrants and makes America a beacon of hope for the world.
Giving legal residency to the 11 million people who came here illegally has one definition: amnesty. Amnesty rewards unlawful behavior and diminishes opportunity and prosperity for lawful immigrants and all Americans.
The Senate bill imposes significant costs on taxpayers. At a time of trillion-dollar deficits and $17 trillion in debt, the cost of implementing amnesty and the strain it will add to already fragile entitlement and welfare programs should be of serious concern for everyone.
USA Today: Understanding the costs of amnesty
After decades of empty promises on immigration enforcement, Congress simply lacks credibility to keep its promises. A comprehensive amnesty bill was tried before and it failed. In 1986 we had about 3 million unlawful immigrants. Congress granted them legal status with a promise to control our borders and fix our legal immigration system.
Lawmakers who supported the 1986 bill promised in grand speeches that amnesty would never happen again. Now there are 11 million unlawful immigrants in America because amnesty was immediate but the border wasn’t secured, workplace laws were not enforced, and our legal immigration system was not fixed. The result of amnesty is clear — it encourages more unlawful immigration in hopes of future amnesties.
This new bill is much the same as the last: immediate amnesty in the form of provisional status within months and lofty promises of “strategies” and “plans” for enforcement years later.
Read the bill: Full text of the Senate legislation
Rather than rewarding the 11 to 19 million who broke our laws, Congress should first consider how to make the immigration system work for the more than 4 million people waiting patiently outside our borders to come to our country legally. A rational system would make it easier to follow the law than to break it.
Instead of passing another incomprehensible comprehensive immigration bill, Congress should debate and develop understandable reforms in a transparent systematic process that addresses all of the immigration issues. This will build trust with the American people and unite the country rather than divide it.
How much does ethnicity, religious beliefs, and family have on decisions we make?
Chechnya, the Russian republic whose struggle against Russia inspired the two brothers suspected of the Boston Marathon bombings, has been the center of violent separatist uprising and bloody bomb-related
killings for decades.
But “mainstream Chechnyan mujahedin have not traditionally been a direct threat to the United States,” said Evan Kohlmann, senior partner of Flashpoint Global Partners, a New York-based international security consulting firm. Several other organizations do recruit Chechen fighters, however, he said.
He said the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan and one of its splinter groups, the Islamic Jihad Union, both have recruited Chechen, Turks and other non-Arab Muslims to fight with them against U.S. forces in Afghanistan. According to Kohlmann, both of these groups are based in the Waziristan tribal area of Pakistan, “and these groups can be just as radical as anything al-Qaeda puts out.”
“They have a strong animus against the United States,” Kohlmann said.
But he cautioned against making any assumption at this point that the bombing suspects were recruited and/or trained by foreign terror organizations.
“What happened (in Boston) is within the capability of two relatively sophisticated, homegrown individuals,” Kohlmann said. “These two people seem to have come out of nowhere.”
We believe the likelihood of this same occurrence with ethnic Chechen people is not as isolated as Kohlmann would want us to believe. Although there hasn’t been a huge number of Chechen individuals having a related history with violence against the U.S.A. that does not say that the notion doesn’t exist.
Moreover, insofar as violence is implied within the ethnicity as well as within the very religious praxis of these two Chechen offspring, it does seem that given the existence within the country of origin and assembling that with religious and deeply personal held beliefs we wound not necessarily stipulate to a partial package being made up does stand to reason as very likely to happen.
David Schanzer, a terrorism expert at Duke University, said the attack appeared to be “homegrown” and that the suspects appear unsophisticated and without ties to or training from international terrorist groups.
“The fact that they needed to rob an ATM to get money (suggests) they didn’t get large amount of outside funding. They had no escape plan to leave the country,” Schanzer said. “These are hallmarks of people who are not particularly sophisticated. I don’t see this as a highly planned plot. They seemed to be making this up as they go along.”
Kohlmann sent a post on his Twitter feed Friday that the official arm of the Chechen mujahedin has denied any connection between them and the Boston suspects.
Author Kimberly Marten, who researched Chechnya for her recent book, Warlords Strong-Arm Brokers in Weak States, cautioned Friday against concluding that the Boston attack was an act of terror.
Okay then Ms. Kimberly Marten what in all of your wisdom and knowledge call it? We certainly would not want to appear rude or condescending, however there are legitimate indicators that this was an act of terror.
Who or what would make explosive weapons and leave them in very crowed areas of major media events? Massive explosive weapons hurling schrap metal, ball bearings, and nails through the air at speeds unconscionable normally only have one thing on their minds.
Conversely, and viewed as far worse is the simple notion of lying an explosive bomb within mere feet of an eight year old child.
Among the most shocking acts of violence was an attack in the neighboring republic of North Ossetia in 2004, where militants seized a school and, in the three-day siege that followed, more than 300 were killed, most of them children.
Militants from Chechnya and other restive regions have targeted Moscow and other areas with bombings and hostage-takings for more than 20 years. The republic is predominantly Muslim and has waged two wars with Russian security forces.
President Vladimir Putin has often stressed that al-Qaeda is linked with Chechen fighters. According to the Council on Foreign Relations analysis, a Chechen warlord is said to have met with Osama bin Laden while both were fighting against the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan from 1979-89.
Authorities have also found links between Chechen separatists and other Islamist terrorist groups. The U.S. Justice Department said in a 2004 report that Zacharias Moussaoui, who was convicted for his role in the 9/11 attacks, had previously sought to recruit at least one man to fight in Chechnya. Intelligence officials in France had warned the FBI of Moussaoui’s connection to the Chechen fighters.
We are not being foolish here by alleging that these “brothers of Chechen ethnic” were acting for or on behalf of any terrorist group, albeit, at least the evidence doesn’t support it.
However, we would like to inform Ms. Kimberly Marten that normally – if an object walking on two webbed feet, quacking before it slips into the water for a swim, well, if it looks like, smells like, and acts like a duck chances are there is influence from a duck….somewhere.
