Another year for ObamaKare — is this the downfall?

Obamacare Employer Mandate Delayed Until After Midterms

Health-Law Employer Mandate Said to Be Delayed to 2015 by U.S.

By Mike Dorning and Alex Wayne

Businesses won’t be penalized next year if they don’t provide workers health insurance after the Obama administration decided to delay a key requirement under its health-care law, two administration officials said.

The decision will come in regulatory guidance to be issued later this week. It addresses vehement complaints from employer groups about the administrative burden of reporting requirements, though it may also affect coverage provided to some workers.

Let me be blunt: any number of multiple local, state and federal agencies have NO idea how to enable the betrayal that ObamaKare has become.

Continuing to Implement the ACA in a Careful, Thoughtful Manner

By: Mark J. Mazur
7/2/2013

Over the past several months, the Administration has been engaging in a dialogue with businesses – many of which already provide health coverage for their workers – about the new employer and insurer reporting requirements under the Affordable Care Act (ACA).  We have heard concerns about the complexity of the requirements and the need for more time to implement them effectively.  We recognize that the vast majority of businesses that will need to do this reporting already provide health insurance to their workers, and we want to make sure it is easy for others to do so.  We have listened to your feedback.  And we are taking action.

Yes, this is a break.  But a break that has been crafted in order to acquire some more centrist coalitions on diversity?

If you like your plan and your doctor, you can keep them, correct?

Or perhaps you cannot.

The delay: is this a good thing or a bad thing?

Senate passes immigration bill, 68 to 32

Posted on by

Amnesty Clears SenateFrom the WashingtonTimes.com:

Vowing they’ve learned the lessons from the 1986 amnesty, the Senate on Thursday approved the biggest changes to the immigration system in a generation, promising this latest version will prevent another wave of illegal immigrants while at the same time granting a pathway to citizenship to most of the 11 million illegal immigrants already in the country.

The 69-32 vote, which saw 14 Republicans join all 54 of the chamber’s Democratic caucus members support it, is likely the high-water mark for immigrant-rights advocates, who held prayer vigils and watching parties Thursday in anticipation of good news for illegal immigrants who’ve been waiting, in some cases for years, for legal status.

Then you have the insanity of John McCain:

“Shouldn’t we give them the same chance that we’ve given wave after wave of immigrants?” said Sen. John McCain, an Arizona Republican who has worked on this issue for years and who was one of the eight senators who wrote the bill that passed.

As McCain says, “wave after wave” of the illegal Mexicans.  So he wishes to call those endless waves of lawbreakers as citizens.  So those waves will obviously continue.  Why shouldn’t they?  There are rewards for lawbreakers.

Now, on to the House.

Welcome to Monday: “Illegal immigrants who commit crimes face lesser punishment than U.S. citizens”

Posted on by

From the WashingtonExaminer.com:

BY: GABRIELLA MORRONGIELLO JUNE 24, 2013 | 11:06 AM

According to Sen. John McCain, a member of the Senate’s Gang of Eight, criminals will not be legalized under the proposed bipartisan immigration bill.

“Anyone who has committed crimes in this country is going to be deported,” the Arizona Republican declared on the Senate floor last week.

However, as Washington Examiner columnist Byron York recently reported, “the bottom line is an immigrant could have more than three misdemeanor convictions in his background check and still qualify for legalization.”

Wonderful.  We need more drunk drivers.  In Fornicalia, drunk driving is a male Mexican misdemeanor mainstay.  14601 CVC, or driving on a suspended license, used to warrant bail in Fornicalia jails.  Now, absent a felony warrant, fresh felony or misdemeanor commitment warrant, 14601 individuals receive a cite and a court date.  So, yes, Fornicalia certainly needs even more of its own male Mexican drunk drivers.  There are many multiply-convicted illegal Mexicans puttering around on Fornicalia highways with suspended licenses — drunk — just waiting to become “introduced” to you or your family via 4,000 pounds of metal.  That’s just one instance of popular crime.

The Gang of Eight’s bill would allow illegal immigrants who entered the country before Dec. 31, 2011, and committed up to three misdemeanor offenses including but not limited to assault, battery, identity or document fraud, tax evasion, to remain eligible for Registered Provisional Status. Meanwhile, U.S. citizens and persons who entered the country legally could incur up to $100,000 in fines,15 years of imprisonment, or be prohibited to reenter the country for up to 10 years.

Now, you have to admit, that’s wonderful news for a Monday.  It simply follows up on free tuition for illegal Mexicans in Fornicalia’s universities.

How many people have said illegal Mexicans are here to only work, not to acquire Free Cheese?  Here’s an ad that screams for free healthcare, in Fornicalia, for illegals:

C’mon, ladies and gentlemen, she’s just “undocumented,” not illegal.

Wrong is now right, down is now up.

Corker Amendment Permanently Offers Citizenship to Those Overstaying Their Visa

Posted on by

Corker HoevenFrom Breitbart.com:

by Mike Flynn 21 Jun 2013, 3:35 PM PDT 82 post a comment

Just as public anxiety about the weak border security provisions in the Senate immigration bill was building, GOP Sen. Bob Corker stepped forward with an amendment to “fix” the problem. The result of his efforts, however, has been a “christmas tree” measure, covering items far beyond border security. Breitbart News has learned exclusively that one provision of Corker’s amendment will allow workers who stay in the country past their visa will remain on the “path to citizenship.”

Really? Lawbreakers given an edge?

Even in the future, breaking the law won’t stop progress on what VP Joe Biden calls the “unfettered path” to citizenship. 

The Corker Amendment ostensibly addresses measures to beef up border security. It, however, is also likely to be the last amendment considered on the immigration bill. As such, it has become a 1,000+ page amendment to supplant the current proposal and provide multiple new provisions. It has become the vehicle for ObamaCare 2.0.

Buried within the text of the Amendment is a seemingly innocuous provision:

(f) APPLICABILITY OF CERTAIN GROUNDS OF INADMISSIBILITY.—In determining an alien’s inadmissibility under this section, section 212(a)(9)(B) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1182(a)(9)(B)) shall not apply.

What does that mean? 

Current law states that those applying for green cards are ineligible if they are either “illegally present” at any point or overstay the terms of their work visa. Such an immigrant, in current law, would have to return to their home country and restart the immigration process. The Corker Amendment wipes away that enforcement mechanism.

As I am frequently wont to say: “you ever read or hear of this on any other media, alternative or otherwise?”

Uh, no.  You won’t.
