Rep. Steve King (R-IA) announced in a radio interview that he is planning to file suit to block Obama from bypassing Congress to implement his amnesty plan for 1 million (and possibly far more) illegal aliens.
King, the vice-chairman of the House Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on Immigration Policy and Enforcement, and a good friend of SWA, has been a stalwart opponent of illegal immigration and amnesty. King last year introduced the “Birthright Citizenship Act” (H.R. 140) which would adjust Federal immigration and naturalization guidelines to prevent the “anchor babies” of illegal aliens from obtaining American citizenship.
Today, on the Mike Huckabee Show, King said he would sue to stop the new Obama amnesty plan, and that he successfully sued his own state’s governor — and won — over a similar separation-of-powers issue.
“I will tell you that — I’m not without experience on this — I’m prepared to bring a suit and seek a court order to stop implementation of this policy,” King said “I have done it once in the past successfully when then-Governor Tom Vilsack thought he could legislate by executive order — and the case of King vs. Vilsack is in the books.
Huckabee followed up, asking King: “You plan to sue this administration for implementing something that you believe should have required legislative process and approval?” “That is correct,” King replied
Obama’s order grants virtual amnesty to all illegal aliens who were “under the age of 16″ when “brought here” illegally; who have resided here for 5 years; and who attended college or serve in the military. The media is parroting Administration talking point that this would affect “at most 800,000″ individuals, but House GOP data shows this deals with well over 1 million illegal aliens.
And as we earlier noted, this figure is irrelevant if the criteria of the twice-defeated DREAM Act – which Obama has adapted – would permit new border crossers, those who came here from 17-35 years old, and those presenting phony documents, to apply for amnesty under this order, and would be granted an immediate stay of deportation. This stay could then be extended indefinitely by the DHS Secretary at her own discretion and NOT subject to Congressional approval.
As a result of these ridiculous lax rules, we will likely see an immediate rush to cross the border in order to obtain fraudulent “documents” and get in on the new Obama amnesty.
Indeed, one look at the DREAM Act Facebook page shows you they are already looking across the border…
Cynthia Vela Huete : Does anyone know if this will apply or benefit the ones that have been banned and have been in Mexico since banned in Cuidad Juarez??? Thanks
We also salute Rep. King for calling out Marco Rubio for his “DREAM Nightmare” alternative plan which has exposed Rubio as a rather naive and useful tool for Obama in his pimping of this shameless amnesty.

PLEASE CONSIDER A DONATION of $20.12 (or any amount your prefer) to Stand With Arizona, to help us continue to fight against illegal alien amnesty and push for Arizona-style enforcement laws nationwide. |
I will do Everything in my power to help you . And all republicans
Please let this man run for the white house! I am so disgusted by Obama’s amnesty plan… clearly many American’s are.
If you don’t have a legal U.S citizen as a parent… then ship the hell out to wherever you belong!
And finally an elected official that really loves his Country and Countrymen. Let us all step up to the plate and help him with his task.
Fuck you everyone..Im glad Obama is such a great guy to be able to do something like this, this will help mostly all students with a high degree achieve there dreams they aren’t here for something stupid, but work learn & succeed in life, so all you who disagree stick your middle finger up your ass!!
Oh! Are you speaking of people such as yourself??? Because you sound like you’re a real asset to society. Your parents must be so proud of your excellent command of the English language! They must be proud of the way you express yourself! I, for one, am amazed at your degree of literacy! You are a shining example of why the majority of Americans are enraged by obama’s circumvention of Congress. It is people such as yourself, who need to go and crawl back across the border into the uncivilized land you obviously came from. I do disagree, but so sorry I can’t oblige. My middle finger is busy typing, along with my other fingers, trying to show you what an ass you are! Have a great day!
There are universities and colleges in the countries these border jumpers came from, and plenty of jobs there too.
ACTUAL American’s do need their jobs, or are you ignorant of this?
Oh… and who’s paying for the college educations of the illegal anchor babies you wish to defend?
Does your mommy know you are on the computer again talking nasty? I bet not. We don’t care what your dreams are. We care about our own dreams which are, english only, not pressing 1 for english,we don’t have to worry about being hit by an uninsured illegal driving without a license, we have room in our emergency room to be seen by a physician without waiting for all the illegals with a cold and to no longer see an illegal woman with three kids tagging along beside her AND one in the oven. You have no respect for our country and the American way. I’m sorry you hate your own country, but that’s the way it goes. Go back and fight your battle there. Come back legally. It’s a long hard process, but worth it. Adios!
Class act with your language v0103. It would be “their” dreams, not “there” dreams. Are you the type of people that want to invade our country? Their dreams are on our dollars and our jobs. And don’t tell me they are jobs Americans wont do. I have cleaned toilets, watched babies, worked greenhouses etc. My grandfather died from black lung as a legal Italian immigrant making his own way. It’s an outrage Americans have to put up with any illegal being here at anytime for any reason. You can tell me all you want what to do with my finger, but then, who are you? Nothing.
Your head is already up his.
If you pay attenton this is one more step in the obama plan to divide America, I feel his real desire is to cause major civil strife so as to declare martial law and suspend the upcoming elections-look at this along with-wisc recall, fast and furious, nbbp and all the other weekly fiascos that come up
Why is there such derision. Obey and do as mama tells you children.
I don’t advocate illegal immigrants being given a free pass into our society. But being a veteran of our armed forces, I believe anyone willing to put their life on the line to serve our country should be given special dispensation. Whether that’s citizenship or a preferred path to citizenship I’m not sure yet. Let’s consider history. Are there any history buffs out there? As the Roman empire employed mercenaries in their armed forces….were the mercenaries granted citizenship? Or did they have some preferential path to citizenship? We don’t want to go the way of the Roman empire.
What’s stopping us from rounding them up, zip tying their arms and legs, and throwing them out of the car at the border? Cross the border into North Korea or Iran and you’ll probably get shot. Here, we give you food stamps and a free education.
We would be arrested and they would become residents for being physically abused.
He will do what everyone does ” Go To Court ” and win.
Too much Hillbilly on this website, you guys need to some fresh california sunshine! the heat has gone to your heads down in Arizona, Arizona, land that once belonged to the natives of this beautiful country…. Anyways Arizona is a shithole. Cant you guys be productive like the whites out here in San Diego. Drive Benz’s and Range Rovers, own some business or something productive?? For the sake of God. Please and Thanks!! Cheers
So, I am to understand, that even though, the only people this effects are people that are here through no fault of their own, with good grades, no criminal history, and a desire to work and pay taxes. And they deserve to be punished? We don’t want them here? Can somebody please intelligently explain this to me? And for all of you racists I am a 6 foot tall white 31 year old employed tax paying male previously primarily republican and also previously an Arpaio supporter. Seriously, any logical, intelligent reasoning for this?
