Title: Supreme Court to Inspect Obama’s Amnesty
Topic: Amnesty
Discussed by Professor Josh Blackman
with Professor Josh Blackman (www.JoshBlackman.com)
Part 1 of 2
Josh Blackman is an Associate
Professor of Law at South Texas College of Law. Josh specializes in
Constitutional Law, the United States Supreme Court, and the intersection of law
and technology. He has been recognized by Forbes Magazine as one of their “30
Under 30” in Law and Policy.
Today, Josh Blackman is here as an expert in his field. Some of the topics which
will be discussed today are: Executive Orders and Executive Actions, education,
separation of powers, and government overreach. These topics center around a
case before the US Supreme Court which challenges Obama’s illegal immigration
and amnesty forgiveness initiative. Josh explains more about this case and what
led it to the US Supreme Court.
Josh says, “They [the US Supreme court Justices] want the government to prove
that the President is complying with his Constitutional oath to faithfully
execute the law.” In other words, did the President act within the confines of
the law? Or, did he completely overstep his authority? This is where Executive
Orders and Executive Actions come into play. There is not much difference
between the two, but Josh believes it is extremely important in learning the
differences in order to know the truth. The President obviously did not abide by
the law when he issued the Executive Order, but there is some wiggle room. “It’s
tricky,” Josh says.
Tune in to the next segment as Josh and Terry discuss separation of powers and
government overreach.

Title: Part 2 of 2 - Supreme Court to Inspect Obama’s Amnesty
Topic: Amnesty
Discussed by Professor Josh Blackman
with Professor Josh Blackman (www.JoshBlackman.com)
Since the President signs Executive Orders and other branches of the
government (Secretary of Defense or Health and Human Services, for example)
authorize Executive Actions, how can we differentiate the separation of powers?
“The Constitution is the longest-serving government document in the world.
No one else even comes close,” Josh Blackman believes. This is what makes
the separation of powers possible. “It checks ambition against ambition. It
puts the power of the President against the power of the Congress. But the rule
of law crumbles when the separation of powers falls apart.” And that’s the
mess we are in right now.
Josh explains how pretty much every President has exceeded the separation of
powers during his time in office. However, with President Obama, the abuse of
that power is vastly different. He has consistently done so without Congress. “Time
and again, the President has said we cannot wait for Congress. I’m going to do
it by myself,” Josh points out. Congress has been too afraid or too
complacent to go back and put a stop to the President’s orders.
Listen in as Josh Blackman gives a brief government lesson, explaining the
powers of Congress and how a veto works. Right now, Congress has basically given
President Obama a blank check and told him, “We love our jobs too much to
stop you, even though we know that you are wrong.” It’s almost to the point
of monarchy, friends.
“Even if Congress did decide to impeach this President, unless Congress is
willing to assert its power over the purse in the future and be willing to deny
the President funding, this train keeps going one way,” Josh Blackman
declares. But, let’s be positive! Let’s do all we can to get a President elected
who will turn this tide around; one who will stop acting like the King of
America and will once again be a President for the people.
Fun Fact: Josh Blackman is also the Founder and President of the Harlan
Institute, an interactive online program which is designed to bring high
school students into a deeper understanding of the law. Through the course,
students are submerged with information concerning the Constitution, cases of
the United States Supreme Court, and our civil justice system. Check it out

Title: Don't Mess with Texas!
Topic: Amnesty
Discussed by Hans von Spakovsky
with The Heritage Foundation (www.Heritage.org)
The Obama administration has laid their cards face-up on the table concerning
amnesty. Hans Von Spakovsky discusses the appeal the Obama administration filed
on February 23 with the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans, asking
the judge to stay the appeal he just granted.
Hans says they have included some completely off-the-wall and bizarre items in
their injunction. For example, the head of the border control said that if they
cannot implement the OPEN BORDERS, it will harm border security! How? What? Why?
That doesn’t even make sense! Listen in as Hans breaks this one down.
Furthermore, there is not a single mention in Obama’s amnesty law allowing for
money to tighten the security on the border. Not a single penny is to be spent
stopping illegals from crossing the border. In fact, Hans says, “We are using
the entire bureaucratic structure to process the applications of 5 million
illegal aliens, issuing social security numbers and work permits to them.”
They think the American people are just plain stupid and thought they could get
away with this kind of crazy stuff. Well guess what! We’re not giving up and we
won’t give in!! America is still the greatest country in the world. We still
welcome LEGAL immigrants from around the world with open arms. However, “If the
elite, rich, and powerful begin to make their own laws”, Hans says, “America
will be ruined. And that is the road this President has set us on.”

Title: Black Activists Says Amnesty Harms Everyone and Everything
Topic: Amnesty
Discussed by Joe Hicks
with Project 21 (www.NationalCenter.org)
Joe Hicks, with
Project 21, says granting illegal immigrants full pardon and amnesty for an
illegal act of pure defiance is an atrocity. Entry level workers, especially
African Americans, don’t stand a chance in the work force; there is no way they
can compete. Some even argue that illegal immigrants want to simply use our
country as their personal ATM machine. Americans can’t send money overseas so
why allow illegals to do so?
Many people believe that all the children who are coming across the border
illegally are accompanied by their parents. Not true! Many of these “children”
are 15-18 year old males who are gang members seeking new recruits. Some are
even entering our public school system to gain access to your children! Also,
what kind of diseases are these undocumented, unimmunized children bringing to
your child’s school?
I feel so sorry for all the people across the world who applied for a visa, paid
money for an immigration lawyer, went to citizenship classes, and waited for
years to become a citizen of the United States of America. How cheated they must
feel.

Title: Obama's Amnesty Push is Hurting Blacks
Topic: Amnesty
Discussed by Derryck Green
with Project 21 (www.NationalCenter.org)
Part 1 of 3
Over the past three
or four decades, the Democrats have won over the majority of black voters by
telling them whites are racist, bigoted rich people. Now, the Democrats are
after the Hispanics, telling them that Republicans don’t want them in our
country. Mark my words, people, they will win again if we do not act – and act
fast.
Illegal immigration is not a new occurrence that has just suddenly popped up on
our radar. Neither is amnesty a new concept. America is the land of opportunity
and the world knows it. People have been coming to American for centuries to
escape religious persecution, violent wars, famine, and a host of other terrible
situations that we cannot even begin to fathom.
However, how much more can America handle? The most recent census poll estimates
that the white (non-Hispanic) population is 63.7%, black population is 12.2%,
and the Hispanic population is 16.4%. My opinion is that the Hispanic percentage
is extremely low – probably off by as much as 25%!
Don’t get me wrong – I am a firm supporter of LEGAL immigration and following
the law in order to come to America. We have laws in place for a reason and they
should – they must – be followed.
Listen in as Derryck Green with Project 21 discusses the latest numbers
and why the increasing number of illegal aliens entering the country is
crippling the black population’s hope of climbing the economic ladder.

Title: Part 2 of 3 - Obama's Amnesty Push is Hurting Blacks
Topic: Amnesty
Discussed by Derryck Green
with Project 21 (www.NationalCenter.org)
The American Dream once meant
owning a home, a car or two, having enough money saved to retire at the age of
60 – maybe 62, a couple kids, and a dog named Rover.
Now, the American Dream is praying you have enough money on the first of the
month to pay rent on a 2 bedroom apartment. Praying the food stamps last all
month long. Praying your children don’t get caught in the middle of drive-by
shooting while playing hoops with the neighbor kids at the city park.
Is there hope for the American Dream to come alive again?
It has been said that an illegal alien enters our border every 40 seconds. They
have been told that America is the land of opportunity and they will be given
free food, shelter, and medicine. They are told they can get a good job here.
They have been told they can come to American and live the Dream.
But what about the people already here, Mr. President? Shouldn’t we help those
already here first? Black Americans are struggling. Yes, some want to stay on
welfare and don’t want to work. But the majority of blacks – and whites, too –
want their lives to mean something. They want a real future for their kids and
grandkids.

Title: Part 3 of 3 - Obama's Amnesty Push is Hurting Blacks
Topic: Amnesty
Discussed by Derryck Green
with Project 21 (www.NationalCenter.org)
In this final
segment with Derryck Green, he discusses some of the reasons why employers would
rather hire an illegal alien than a black person. The truth hurts,
folks. There is no sugar coating it. Derryck gives it to us straight.
White employers are afraid of black men. They are afraid of retaliation. They
look at their criminal record and automatically cross them off the list. Now, I
know not “all” white employers feel this way. Certainly some Asian, Hispanic,
and even black employers feel this way, too.
But, let’s face it. Hispanics, in general, work harder than the average black
man and are willing to work for less pay than the average black man. Hispanics
don’t complain about the heat or having to work over time.
We’ve all seen the Hispanics out in front of apartment complexes and on the
street corners waiting for a work truck to pull up and offer a few lucky men
$100 each to work all day in the heat. How many black men are out there waiting
all day long for a chance at $100 for an honest day’s work? None! How many white
or Asian men do you see? None!

Liz Peek continues her frank
discussion about the illegal immigration epidemic facing our country. There are
no jobs for Americans; why would the illegal immigrants expect anything more?
When they cannot find a job, they look to the almighty government to give them a
free (or very, very cheap) home and free food. They demand free college
education and free cars. Where does it end?

America has been a country comprised of many different cultures from the very beginning of our existence. However, there are laws one must adhere to obtain citizenship legally in every country, not just America. So why is Obama so dead set on grating amnesty to so many illegal immigrants when so many Americans are jobless? Not cool, Mr. Pres. Not cool.
