wow! Is Coulter changing stripes?

[spence]

Since when has illegal immigration been the #1 problem facing the nation? Poll after Poll? Where are these polls? Has immigration EVER been ranked higher than the Economy?

I just read through all the recent AP-GFK polls and there's no mention of immigration being the worst ranked Obama policy.

She says that since 2006 "voters have insistently told pollsters they don’t want amnesty" yet interestingly enough the most recent immigration poll by the AP-GFK in December found nearly 60% of Americans favored a path to citizenship for illegals already here.

She repeatedly misleads with "executive amnesty" and "Obama's amnesty" and "Obama's illegal amnesty" while the executive action doesn't provide a path to citizenship.

Her claim that illegals will be each given $25K in taxpayer money is also 99% false. This provision could only apply to illegals who were already filing tax returns the past three years and could meet the standards for the maximum benefit. At best this could only be a miniscule fraction of the population yet she generalized it to all illegals.

And even considering, the influx of tax revenue from newly registered workers would dwarf any potential drain.

It looks just like vintage Coulter, she's simply making things up...

BTW, amnesty is a correct label:

The one constant of this presidency has been to play the label game. Either ignoring labels (Islamic Extremists), ISIS, or demeaning his only enemies he is willing to call out: Republicans, Tea Party, and the rest of the Bitter Clingers.

Yeah, being a "constitutional scholar," Obama would understand the misuse of labels and not only their power, but their ability to distract away from rational thought or discussion--as Supreme Court Justice Cardozo implied with "A fertile source of perversion in constitutional theory is the tyranny of labels ..."
