The NY Times notes that the border surge of unaccompanied minors has scrambled Obama's plan to wave in by executive action and prosecutorial discretion the illegal undocumented future Democrat minors already here:
Border Crisis Casts Shadow Over Obama’s Immigration Plan
WASHINGTON — The crisis on the border with Mexico has overtaken President Obama’s plans to use executive action to reshape the nation’s immigration system, forcing him to confront a new set of legal, administrative and political complications.
...
Inside the West Wing and at the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security, administration lawyers are working to find consistent legal justifications for speeding up the deportations of Central American children at the border while preparing to ease up on deportations of long-settled immigrants in the country’s interior.
The challenge, according to lawyers inside and outside the government, is to somehow avoid being arbitrary in deciding who must go and who can stay.
“It’s legally complicated,” said Cecilia Muñoz, the director of the domestic policy council at the White House and Mr. Obama’s top immigration adviser. “That was always going to be true. It’s just in higher relief now.”
"It's complicated" - that could be on every White House press release.
One day the NY Times and Team Obama may become aware of the Law of Unintended Consequences. Until that day, we will be treated to comic fodder such as this:
White House officials, without providing specifics, said the most likely executive actions that Mr. Obama will announce at the end of the summer were consistent with the administration’s efforts to move away from deporting unauthorized immigrants who have been in the country for years and have not otherwise broken the law.
Officials said the current crisis on the border fit that approach. By shifting resources away from long-established families, they said, law enforcement can better focus on processing the asylum claims of recent immigrants and deporting those who do not qualify to stay in the United States — a rationale that Peter J. Spiro, an immigration specialist at Temple University Law School, said had long been the basis of the nation’s current immigration system.
“There’s this longstanding distinction between undocumented immigrants who are inside the United States versus those who are outside trying to get in,” he said.
So we will move to a system where these undocumented, unaccompanied minors will be deported if caught near the border. But if they can make it inland (or get a court summons and then flee rather than appear in court) they can run out the clock and, after a few crime-free years, be eligible for a compassionate waiver from President Clinton. And this approach will deter a surge of illegals at the border because... they are all knuckleheads? C'mon, they have been following Obama's Executive Inaxction on immigration.
Either Obama thinks the parents and children in Central America are stupid or he thinks we are. Or both.
The TELL here is the way Democrat constituencies are reacting to gangbangers moving in on their turf. Mutiny would be a kind way of describing it. Acme Cigar done blown up in Wile E Democrats face once again. Back to the war on vulvas or something like that!

The Dems will not agree to amending the anti trafficking law because the successful deportation of several hundred thousand illegals just arrived would demonstrate the Dem claim that it would be impossible to deport 11 million illegals already here to be a question not of possibility but of party before country.

Dems will not agree. Undoubtedly true.
Get a Repub Senate, pass the change through Budget reconciliation as part of INS appropriation bills, make Obummer VETO it. 2016 Dems in competitive elections will love that.

The bigger TELL is that even though Dem constituents want these amnesty jumpers sent back, the Dem Capos refuse. The Capos are in this strickly for themselves (their lifetime seats), they need fresh parasites to grow the crime family, so they'll shaft the existing plantation hands to do it.

You need to distinguish between Democrat in prog blue hells, who don't have to face a credible challenger in the November election, and the ones who are in red and purple districts. I would hazard that once the Senate has a minority leader named Reid, that a pretty good chance that a veto proof majority will exist for fixing this stupid law about treating central American illegals different that Mexican and Canadian ones.

Why would they bother when they can just walk across any border into the USA and go any where they please?

I hope Jane,TC and Dave aren't listening to Howie Carr. Deval Patrick asked been asked to accept more illegals into Massachusetts. Howie said he (Patrick) should set up a camp on his 77 acres in the Berkshires. Patrick said "we can't turn our backs on these children." NK,Malloy said keep them out of CT.

Quinny has Beauprez ahead of Hickenlooper in Colorado. Beauprez has low name recognition so he potentially has a lot of upside. Hicky signed that gun bill that got two Democrat in the State Legislature recalled. He is probably at pretty close to his ceiling. Sorry to see you go, Hick.

Marist has Hick +6 as of yesterday, NK, and Udall +7. Marist always favors the Dem so I dunno. Hick wasn't afraid to be seen with Obama unlike Udall. I'd split the difference for now.
RCP has GOP +7 on the no tossups map and has given Iowa to the GOP but NC to the Dems:

Of course not, Porch. Did you see those pictures of the Palm Aire? Why, the pool didn't even have a high dive!
Think of the children!
Seriously, see my link in my comment above. Any JoMers thinking of participating? If so, can you post a report?

As a citizen of Florida, I hate global warming,
Will the fine folks of Canada, Maine and New Hampshire come down here and spend, spens, spend each winter to reduce our tax burden?
Posted by: Frederick | July 16, 2014 at 06:31 PM
Nobody like Global Warming. That's why we now face Global Climate Change.
Frederick, the most important thing to learn about science is the difference between a theory and reality. A scientist will propose a theory to explain what will happen. The theory is tested against data. When the data match what the theory expects, the theory is not rejected*. When the data do not match the theory, the scientist rejects it. A new theory is proposed, and we check it with data. Eventually we learn how things work.
*for the theory behind global warming, scientists use computer models to create expected temperatures. So far, no model has created expected temperatures close to actual temperatures. Thus the theories used in the models must be rejected. Scientists are creating new theories and testing them. It may be decades before scientists can claim to understand the climate. Until then, nothing is happening very quickly on warming (we might even be cooling, nobody really knows) so Florida will still be a wonderful place for me to visit my mom -- Canadians and New Englanders will still visit your beaches.

calling Barack Obama a "Chicago schwartze" for his (get this!) allegedly over-enthusiastic embrace of Israel.
To them this is accurate. Anything short of dismantling the state and handing its citizens over to Hamas is an "over-enthusiastic embrace."
