WASHINGTON -- Despite a bruising fiscal cliff battle that managed to set the stage for an even more heated showdown that will likely take place in a matter of months, President Barack Obama is planning to move full steam ahead with the rest of his domestic policy agenda.
An Obama administration official said the president plans to push for immigration reform this January. The official, who spoke about legislative plans only on condition of anonymity, said that coming standoffs over deficit reduction are unlikely to drain momentum from other priorities. The White House plans to push forward quickly, not just on immigration reform but gun control laws as well.
The timeframe is likely to be cheered by Democrats and immigration reform advocates alike, who have privately expressed fears that Obama's second term will be drowned out in seemingly unending showdowns between parties. The just-completed fiscal cliff deal is giving way to a two-month deadline to resolve delayed sequestration cuts, an expiring continuing resolution to fund the government and a debt ceiling that will soon be hit.
With those bitter battles ahead, the possibility of passing other complicated legislation would seem diminished.

Immigration Reform 2013: Republican Plan to Beat Obama Will Tear the GOP Apart


Immigration Reform 2013 Republican Plan to Beat Obama Will Tear the GOP Apart

Republicans are going to get demolished on immigration reform during Obama’s second term, claims a Monday article by Politico.
The president has made clear his desire to make immigration reform, including a path to citizenship, a top priority of his second administration. Following Obama’s crushing 44% lead in the Hispanic vote during the election, Latino mega-donors are lining up to flood Washington with pro-reform dollars.
“There’s a growing sense that this is an opportunity that should be taken,” former Republcan National Committee chairman and Republican consultant Ed Gillespie said in the article. “There’s no instinct like a survival instinct.”

Quid pro quo. Also, by allowing more Mexicans into this country and allowing them to vote, they will insure Democratic control in the future.

I have lots of Mexican friends and spend a portion of every year in Mexico. There are 2 things you should know about the Mexican mentality.

#1 They enjoy having children and believe them to be a great blessing. No thought is ever given to whether they can afford to have them. I see children in absolute grinding poverty all the time in Mexico because there are too many children to provide for, but due to the culture, nobody would ever suggest that they only have as many as they can take care of. By moving here to the U.S., not only do they get excellent maternity care and medical insurance for every child they produce.....they get free food and money for having children as well. Praise God...we have reached the promised land!

#2 The Mexican culture is strongly based on the peasant mentality due to the history in Mexico. Modern day Mexicans are determined NOT to be peasants, and believe that they are owed by the government because their ancestors had to slave for Don's. In Mexico it is the politician that promises the people the most that generally gets elected. Needless to say, here in the US...that is the Democratic party.

I have Mexican friends that I consider family and I love them dearly. I find many admirable things in their culture, but these 2 things are why they will be detrimental to the continuing prosperity of this country.
