US Senate Cook: ‘I Want An Executive Order’ For Higher Wages

By Fox News Radio, Apr. 23, 2015

Friday on “The Alan Colmes Show,” Alan spoke with Bertrand Olotara, a cook in the US Senate Cafeteria, who went on a one day strike to raise awareness about the low wages he and his co-workers are earning. He also penned an op-ed recently about what he goes through each day as a single father making $12 an hour.

Olotara told Alan about how he doesn’t want to be on food stamps because he is a taxpayer as well, why he hopes that President Obama (or the next President in 2016) will sign an executive order making the minimum wage $15 an hour, and what he hoped the strike accomplished.

Obama's Executive Action Rollouts Increasing In Pace

By Gregory Korte, Apr. 22, 2015, USA Today

WASHINGTON — As President Obama stood in an Everglades swamp to speak on climate change Wednesday, the White House rolled out a package of eight executive actions, implemented by seven government agencies, to "protect the people and places that climate change puts at risk."

The announcement contained no executive orders, sweeping directives, legislative proposals or bill signings.

Instead, the actions include smaller-bore staples of a "pen-and-phone" strategy that shows no sign of letting up: a report on the value of parks to the environment, a proclamation declaring National Parks Week, and conservation efforts in Florida, Hawaii, Puget Sound and the Great Lakes.

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said the actions were an effort to deal with the impacts of climate change "even in the face of pretty significant opposition from Republicans in Congress."

President Obama on Thursday signed an executive order directing the federal government to cut its overall greenhouse-gas emissions by 40 percent over the next decade.

In a speech at the Department of Energy, the president said the initiative demonstrates the U.S. federal government will “lead by example” in the international fight against climate change.

“We’re proving it is possible to grow our economy robustly while at the same time doing the right thing for the environment and tackling climate change in a serious way,” Mr. Obama said.

Obama To Ban Bullets By Executive Action, Threatens Top-Selling AR-15 Rifle

By Paul Bedard, Feb. 26, 2015, 

It’s starting.

As promised, President Obama is using executive actions to impose gun control on the nation, targeting the top-selling rifle in the country, the AR-15 style semi-automatic, with a ban on one of the most-used AR bullets by sportsmen and target shooters.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives this month revealed that it is proposing to put the ban on 5.56 mm ammo on a fast track, immediately driving up the price of the bullets and prompting retailers, including the huge outdoors company Cabela’s, to urge sportsmen to urge Congress to stop the president.

Wednesday night, Rep. Bob Goodlatte, the Republican chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, stepped in with a critical letter to the bureau demanding it explain the surprise and abrupt bullet ban. The letter is shown below.

Obama's Executive Order Could Spark Business Growth 

By Elisabeth McBride, Feb. 4, 2015, Crainsnewyork.com

Small-business lending platform Biz2Credit turns away hundreds of loan applications a year from entrepreneurs in New York and other states who lack legal immigration status, says President Ramit Arora. Without it, they aren't eligible for bank financing and assistance from the Small Business Administration.

That could change under President Barack Obama's executive order on immigration, depending on how the measure is implemented and the effects of pushback by the new Republican Congress.

As it stands, New York City potentially could see a surge of hundreds or thousands of new small businesses run by owners with legal status, according to experts. Many entrepreneurial immigrants who are already operating businesses—from food carts to cleaning services to home-based tech startups—would be able to formalize their companies or expand.

Republicans Plan To Offer Their Own Solutions On Immigration

Erica Werner, Jan. 16, 2015, AP

Republicans oppose Obama's moves as an unconstitutional overreach, and the House offered one response earlier this week. House Republicans attached language to a must-pass, $39.7 billion spending bill for the Department of Homeland Security that would undo Obama's actions, in the process exposing hundreds of thousands of younger immigrants to deportation. Obama has threatened to veto the bill.

Mexican President Offers Obama Help With Amnesty Documents
Dave Boyer, Jan. 6, 2015, Washington Times

Mr. Obama also praised Mexico’s help in stemming the surge of illegal child immigrants from Central America last summer on a smuggling route that used a key Mexican railroad.

“In part because of strong efforts by Mexico, including at its southern border, we’ve seen those numbers reduced back to much more manageable levels,” Mr. Obama said.

Sheriff Babeu: Immigration Order Will Defer 20M Deportations

Cathy Burke, Dec. 15, 2014, Newsmax

"President Obama said on TV, 'if you've been here five years or more, there will be deferred action, that you'll be given a work permit, a driver's license, all access to our social programs,'" Babeu explained.

"But Jeh Johnson, the very same day, put out a memo directed to all 23 agencies under the Department of Homeland Security saying that any illegal who's been here this year as of January of 2014, they are entitled to this deferred action."

Sheriff Joe Arpaio Wins First Court Battle In Lawsuit Over Obama Amnesty

Darren Pope, Dec. 11, 2014, Examiner

US District Judge Beryl A. Howell in Washington, DC, granted a motion by Arpaio's attorney, Larry Klayman of FreedomWatch, to allow the case to move along quickly. Howell ordered President Obama to respond to Arpaio’s motion for a preliminary injunction -- to protect the U.S. while the court considers the constitutionality of Obama’s actions -- by Dec. 15. A full preliminary injunction hearing is set for Dec. 22. Two Department of Justice attorneys representing Obama in the case had asked for the deadline for their initial response to be delayed until late January.

Obama Issues 'Executive Orders By Another Name'

Gregory Korte, Dec. 16, 2014, USA Today

Obama has issued executive orders to give federal employees the day after Christmas off, to impose economic sanctions and to determine how national secrets are classified. He's used presidential memoranda to make policy on gun control, immigration and labor regulations. Tuesday, he used a memorandum to declare Bristol Bay, Alaska, off-limits to oil and gas exploration.

Ben Shapiro: Republicans Secretly Want Obama's Amnesty

Ben Shapiro, Dec. 10, 2014, Truth Revolt

The smart option would be for Republicans to pass a short-term continuing resolution to fund the government through January. That would allow Republicans to come into office and take power in the Senate. 

 Then Republicans could do what Congresses have done for centuries: avoid passing omnibus spending bills, which tie all spending together and lead to shutdowns, and instead fund the government through separate appropriations bills, one per department. That de-links funding for the Defense Department, for example, from funding for Obama’s executive amnesty. Obama would have a tough time vetoing a standalone Defense funding bill that has nothing to do with executive amnesty.

Immigrants Flock To Workshops After Obama Reprieve

Amy Taxin, Dec. 12, 2014, AP

For immigrant advocates, the challenge is reaching prospective applicants in diverse communities that speak multiple languages and often know little about the United States' byzantine immigration laws. While some immigrants find strength in numbers, others shy away from public meetings because of fear or stigma over their immigration status.

Yet Another Poll Shows Americans Oppose Both The Policy And Procedure Of Obama's Amnesty

Obama’s Immigration Taunt: Next President Won’t Dare Reverse My Executive Action

Ben Wolfgang, Dec. 9, 2014, Washington Times

“It’s true a future administration might try to reverse some of our policies. But I’ll be honest with you — the American people basically have a good heart and want to treat people fairly and every survey shows that if, in fact, somebody has come out and subjected themselves to a background check, registered, paid their taxes, the American people support allowing them to stay. So any future administration that tried to punish people for doing the right thing, I think, would not have the support of the American people,” Mr. Obama told a supportive crowd at a town hall meeting in Nashville.

Report: Illegal Immigrant Deportations Plunged Even Before Obama's Amnesty 

Caroline May, Dec. 5, 2014, Breitbart

The decline in removals last year was due, however, not simply to the administration’s enforcement priorities — which place a focus on removing criminals and recent border crossers rather than undocumented immigrants who are not convicted of crimes outside of their immigration status — The LA Times reports that the border surge of unaccompanied illegal minors from Central America played a factor.

Boehner Won't Commit To Defunding Executive Amnesty Next Year

Michael Warren, Dec. 4, 2014, The Weekly Standard

Boehner and House Republican leaders are pushing to pass a short-term funding package before the end of the current budget resolution next week. The package would allow Congress to revisit the funding for DHS, which is implementing the order, early next year. The Ohio Republican emphasized the current plan to address the immigration executive order in the next Congress gives the GOP the best chance for “keeping our leverage.” But, Boehner said, “we have limited options in how we can deal with this.”

Sessions: House GOP Is On The Verge Of Breaking 2014 Campaign Promises

Joel Gehrke, Dec. 2, 2014, National Review

“The executive amnesty language is substantially weaker than the language the House adopted this summer, and does not reject the central tenets of the President’s plan: work permits, Social Security and Medicare to 5 million illegal immigrants — reducing wages, jobs and benefits for Americans,” Sessions said in the statement expressing his dissatisfaction with the results of a House Republican conference meeting today.
