undocumented persons cross open borders in USA

Obama’s immigration policy shows about as much skill level as Obama  recently demonstrated in basket ball (2 out of 22 shots made the basket). Laughable.

Everybody knows that you don’t put the cart before the horse. But  Obama does so with immigration.

A sensible Immigration Policy:

1) Close the border with Mexico.

2) Require E-verify to ensure  that employees are legally in the U.S.A.

3)  Create a flexible  Guest Worker program based on supply and demand for agriculture, restaurants and tourist industries. See Wall Street Journal, Green-Card Path Seen for Farm Help, April 6-7, 2013.

4) Fine adults & require community service hours for adults who break the existing immigration laws.

5) Do these steps and then put in place a legal pathway to citizenship such as Rubio  suggests. CNN Politics, Jan 12, 2013

The first step is Close the Border.

  Can Obama get behind sensible Immigration Reform?   Nope.  No way can we close the  border with Mexico  says Obama.  Janet Napolitano, in charge of Homeland Security, agrees with her boss.

In my view, Obama’s goal is to turn the 11 million illegals into Democrats who can vote in 2014.  Obama is forever the campaigner and never the national leader of sensible reform.

Other  countries successfully do close their borders.  For example, Israel successfully closed its border with Egypt and just about nobody gets through.

Obama’s tax & welfare polices shrink wrap USA jobs

Why get a job when Obama offers 2 years jobless insurance, food stamps, Medicaid, disability and various  tax credits even for having  more children.

In Feb. 2013 nearly 1/2 million left the civilian work force.  The retired, quit working, went back to school or gave up looking for work.

“Obama[s tax and welfare policies shrink the workforce precisely when we need more workers to pay for the entitlements Obama does not want to reform” says the Wall Street Journal April 6-7, 2013.

What can we do? Work for education reform.    Support charter schools  which offer better education at three-quarters the cost.  Support vouchers so that state education  money follows the child and parents choose what is best for their children.  Our failing public education system does not give young people the skills they need to compete in the information economy.

It’s Easter Day!  Time for new life! No matter how old you are. Or how young.

Are you a depressed young person  and feel  trapped?  Do you feel caught by Big Brother?  Do you want to do things but have no car, have no money and don’t know where to begin?  Does that describe you or someone you know?

Then ‘s time for you  to kick ass on causes that you  care about.  Join a cause or make your own. For example, 3 out of 4 young persons say they have no clue how to manage their cash. Learn how with your friends. Take charge of your money world.

Make your passions into your causes.  You will change. And you can change the world around you. 

Here’s one way how for young persons 13 to 25.

Go to dosomething.org and learn how to change passions into reality.   Tell us what happens as you change your worlds — internal and external.  DrCameronJackson@gmail.com

Obama lies about number of illegals released. Not 200 but 2,200+ already released early Feb. 2013 due to sequestration.

Not 200 but 2,200+ illegal immigrant  felons were  released by Obama in  Feb. 2013 because of  automatic budget  cuts.

The Obama administration reversed itself Thursday, acknowledging to Congress that it had, in fact, released more than 2,000 illegal immigrants from immigration jails due to budget constraints during three weeks in February.

The director of U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, John Morton, said his agency had released 2,228 illegal immigrants during that period for what he called “solely budgetary reasons.” The figure was significantly higher than the “few hundred” immigrants the Obama administration had publicly acknowledged were released under the budget-savings process. He testified during a hearing by a House appropriations subcommittee.     Full Story      Story that Violent Felons were  Released

Obama couldn’t have cut anywhere else,  huh?  How much longer do we endure a president who lies to us and now endangers us?

No money for self guided White House tours arranged 30+ days ago & no one answering the phone. In contrast, no cut in pay for White House staff who make hand written invitations. Obama’s priority is that people feel pain?

Despite the closing the doors to public tours because of the automatic budget  sequester cuts, the White House continues to employ three calligraphers, with the “chief calligrapher” making $96,725.

Patricia Blair, the chief calligrapher, has two deputies — Debra Brown, earning $85,953 and Richard Muffler, earning $94,372, The Weekly Standard reported.

The White House has made no announcement to scale back on calligraphers, despite sequester cuts.

Calligraphers are needed for the preparation of invitations, placards, citations and White House awards, created by hand, according to the White House.

Ok,  now lay off the cops and firemen so we can have pretty invitations.

Obama family cost twice that of British royal family

US spends more than double on the Obama family  compared to British royal family:

Taxpayers spent $1.4 billion dollars on everything from staffing, housing, flying and entertaining President Obama and his family last year, according to the author of a new book on taxpayer-funded presidential perks.

In comparison, British taxpayers spent just $57.8 million on the royal family.
