PRESIDENT OBAMA'S USE of executive directive to ease rules for people trying to enter US or stay in the country even though they have given support to terrorists is troublesome to Republicans, who say the move is putting Americans 'at a greater risk.'

"President Obama should be protecting U.S. citizens rather than taking a chance on those who are known to have been aiding and abetting terrorist activity and putting Americans at greater risk," says Virginia GOP Rep. Robert Goodlatte, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee and part of the GOP House leadership team working on immigration reform.

He and other Republican lawmakers argued that the administration is changing the law designed by Congress to protect the country from terrorists.

And Missouri GOP Sen. Roy Blunt on "Fox News Sunday" repeated the concerns of fellow Republicans and others about Obama repeatedly saying that "he can use his pen and his telephone" to work around Congress.

The change is one of Obama's first actions on immigration since he pledged during his State of the Union address last month to use more executive directives.

Citizenship and Immigration Services said about 4,400 affected cases of those with identified terrorists connections were on hold as the government reviewed possible exemptions to the rule. The Homeland Security Department said in a statement that the change, gives the government more discretion, terrorists sympathizers or aiders will no longer be excluded from immigration. Those identified as being involved in an actual terrorist act, will continue to be excluded.

I keep telling you guys, Obama is doing more damage to America than any terrorist organization could do. He destroyed our healthcare, our economy and now our safety.

Two more things I would suggest which Obama is rapidly destroying.

First, America's status as the best big country in the history of mankind on this planet.

Second, America's belief in itself.

Look at the status of England and France in history, when nobody in the world doubted their strength or importance. Today, they are nice places to visit but almost irrelevant on the world stage.

It's all part of the plan. You boys better get yourselves relocated to Texas while you still think it's a choice.

[johnforbes]

Have friends in Canyon, and was there not long ago. I like to spend a few weeks there every winter.

I also like Angel Fire in NM, where the first memorial to Viet vets was started.

Building the fence should keep the miscreants out...

[Grog]

The fence is actually to keep conservatives in Texas.

The only question left is will Fox's new HQ be in Dallas or Houston?

[johnforbes]

I'll leave it up to one of my main men, Fayez Sarofim, who had a Houston solution in mind.

[Grog]

Better not let the other members of the cadre know that you invest with a non-'Merican.

[johnforbes]

Born in Egypt, he went to collitch in CA and picked up an MBA at Harvard.

He's been investing oil money for half a century.

You could invest anywhere the way he does, of course, but his turnover is low and it would cost me too much in cap gains tax to switch out what is with him.

I'm an investor, not a trader, for the most part.
