Obama's Latest Cruel Con: Deportation “Relief”

The Big Deal temporary not-really-amnesty deal Obama offered up is a classic honey trap. As he stressed in his speech announcing his Great Gift to the suffering masses of millions of immigrants living an underground, hunted existence in constant fear of apprehension, loss of everything they own, and summary expulsion to whatever murderous hellhole south of the U.S. border they fled, what they would have to do is TURN THEMSELVES IN. Identify themselves, “get right with the law,” and in return deportation will be held in abeyance for three years. So the government gets a list of however many fools fall for this trap, for easy arrest later.

Notice there is NO right to live in the U.S., just a promise to temporarily let them stay. But ONLY if they've already been here at least five years. (Five years continuously? What if someone went to their native country for family reasons, say, and returned?) Oh, there are a slew of other conditions too- like no “criminal” record (except for the “crime” of being in the U.S. illegally, he made sure to note), and “pay taxes” (as if they don't already, through sales taxes, phone bill taxes, gasoline taxes, employer withholding taxes, utility bill taxes, and the indirect taxes they pay when landlords for example built their own taxes into the rents they charge).

Of course, Obama is such a sleazy flim-flam artist that he has the gall to promise “three years” of holding the sword of deportation over their heads without dropping it on their necks, when in fact he's not even going to be president for three more years, just two years and two months! So the whole thing is a fraud on its face. [1]

Yet there are many idiots- including putative leftists who should know better- who have hailed this putrid turd of a pseudo-amnesty as a Wonderful Thing. Amazing how stupid some people are.

Of course the media played along, portraying this as some Big Amnesty, when it's nothing of the sort. It's merely a reprieve. Typical was a propagandist on a New York City “public” radio station, who announced “President Obama opens the door for immigrants who have been living here for 5 years or more.” No he didn't. They're already here. He said “turn yourself in and maybe you won't get deported for 3 years.” A palpable trick, as I've pointed out.

Even some foreign media got in on the act. For example, a BBC announcer said Obama lifted the threat of deportation from 5 million. A FLAT LIE. They are STILL DEPORTABLE. Obama just said they wouldn't BE deported for three years- IF THEY QUALIFY. And as I just said, he's gone in about two years. And even THAT assumes the GOP Congress taking power in January doesn't pass a law overturning his decision (they'll need some Democrats to override an Obama veto, unless they attach it to a bill he won't veto), or the reactionary Supreme Court doesn't deem his move Unconstitutional.

Or Obama doesn't change his mind.

He's been cruelly leading on the eleven million foreigners living under the gun in the U.S, for his entire term, constantly teasing, hinting, promising, and double-crossing. Now this.

BBC also treated us to the sounds of what sounded like a crowd of 50 Hispanic people (no doubt organized by the Democratic Party itself or one of its stooge organizations) yelling “Obama, Amigo!” (amigo is “friend” in Spanish) and some woman with a thick Hispanic accent shouting “God Bless American!”

Really? For what?

Just for the record: Obama has deported more people than any president in U.S. history, over 2 million, and more every day. His Border Patrol agents keep murdering Mexican by firing at them across the border into Mexico, using the excuse that their victims threw rocks at them. (One victim was a teen walking to the store, shot in the back by a U.S. butcher.) He has systematically violated the rights of children fleeing from their lives from the charnel houses of El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala, who are entitled to asylum. Which makes the prattle in his speech about “rule of law in our country” and his finger-wagging admonition to the exploited foreign workers and their families to “get right with the law.” (Meaning, turn yourselves in like the Jews of Europe sewed yellow Stars of David on their clothes for easy identification by the Nazis and their helpers.)

“Get right with the law.” Right. And Work Makes You Free (Arbeit macht frei.)

1] Obama has a bad con man's habit of telling obvious whoppers. Like “no one's listening to your phone calls.” (Depends on who “you” is. And anyway, the NSA is COLLECTING and STORING all our phone calls, for later searching and listening,) Or the three dozen or so times he insisted “If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan,” an obvious lie since his law mandated requirements for medical insurance that would make millions of junk plans illegal. The “three year” fake amnesty is yet another example.
