Obama: Changing Illegals Policy "Not Going to Happen"

by JASmius

See, I told you so - again:

Barack Obama is finding it "hard to take seriously" calls by Texas Republican Governor Rick Perry and a host of other Republican lawmakers that he drop his Deferred Action Plan for Childhood Arrivals.

"That's not going to happen," White House press secretary Josh Earnest said, the Hill reports.....

Earnest charged that Republican critics "would rather play politics than try to address some of these problems," the Hill reports.

"I think the most effective way that Governor Perry can help, if that's what he says he wants to do, would be to pick up the phone and call the Republican members of the House of Representatives that represent the state of Texas and tell them to support the bipartisan proposal to reform our immigration system that passed through the Senate."

"I think the most effective way that Governor Perry can help....would be to pick up the phone and call the Republican members of the House of Representatives that represent his state and tell them to make the problem the president has created even worse so that our party can retake the House this November."  Just thought I'd do a little appropriate editing of Earnie's bilgesniping.  And on a once-great holiday, too.  I hope he appreciates how I go above and beyond the call.

I'm really hoping that Governor Perry and Chairman Issa and every other elected Republican aren't expecting any other answer out of the Regime than what they're getting.  That this is simply going through the motions of due diligence before moving on to more "confrontational measures," to begin after the midterm elections when a GOP Senate is delivered, gift-wrapped, on a silver platter by The One's arrogant, extremist intransigence.  That would be the proper order and timing of this constitutional crisis, particularly given all of Barack Obama's built-in and enhanced advantages in it.

Plus, with a unified Republican Congress, Governor Perry's idea of cutting off Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, AND Mexico from any and all foreign aid if they don't curtail this mass-induced exodus of human hanging chads would enter the realm of plausibility.  With no more Harry (G)Reid to play goalie for him, O would be forced to use that pen of his to veto such overwhelmingly popular measures himself instead of being free to write up and sign unconstitutional executive diktats.

Given the direction in which his poll numbers are headed, that sort of "politics-playing" (that Donkresses have used against GOP presidents for decades) could at least slow down the media-driven sky-rocketing spike they'll experience once an impeachment inquiry began.  We'd certainly need all the help we could get after giving the king what he wants so desperately.
