Mayor Bloomberg on Immigration Reform

In a surprise announcement, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg said Thursday that Hurricane Sandy had reshaped his thinking about the presidential campaign and that as a result, he was endorsingPresident Obama. “The devastation that Hurricane Sandy brought to New York City and much of the Northeast — in lost lives, lost homes and lost business — brought the stakes of next Tuesday’s presidential election into sharp relief,” Mr. Bloomberg wrote in an ...

Click on O's pic and you can play the video. BTW, I applaud AZ for taking matters into their own hands since the government has been so lax in protecting its citizens from crimes committed by illegals. I think this has come to a head since the death of the farmer killed a few weeks ago. It is also a way to force the government to start paying attention. Illegal is ILLEGAL. While others have come here legally, others have followed illegally. It must be stopped but as an af ...

I especially love the line about not doing something just for the sake of politics - who is he kidding? The whole reason it's not on the agenda anymore is because of politics! And you can blame the republicans or the democrats - they're both just as guilty of doing what's right for themselves instead of what's right for the country! A politician doesn't do anything that isn't for the sake of politics! http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100430/ ...

"We have all heard it said many times that America is a land of immigrants, some voluntary and some involuntary, but immigrants nevertheless. We have plenty of space in our country, but insufficient resources to support everyone who wants to come here. When we see innocent children used as political pawns, it still tugs at our heartstrings, which is the desired intent. The real question is, What are we going to do about it? Immigration reform has been a very tough issue, as well as a p ...

President Barack Obama renewed his push for comprehensive immigration reform Tuesday, citing America's legacy as a nation of immigrants and saying that finding a solution for millions of undocumented workers is critical to the country's common future. "We define ourselves as a nation of immigrants -- a nation that welcomes those willing to embrace America's precepts," Obama said during a visit to El Paso, Texas. "It doesn't matter where you come from. What matters is that y ...

ICE Officer and President of the National ICE Council testified at a hearing on the immigration bill that the Gang of Eight are trying to push through Congress - again, without anyone being able to read it. Sound familiar? Will they have to pass it to find out what's in it? I am so disgusted with these Senators, a couple that I had high respect for...and now this. There are so many loopholes that it will be another fiasco. Back when the amnesty was passed, we only had how many illegals in ...

Don't think it will pass the House. Border security is NOT first in this bill and Janet Napolitano is the one who will make the decision on whether the border is secure or not...and we all know she thinks it is secure...that's why they never finished the fence. Yet the border agents are saying it's not secure and....well, if it WAS secure, how did 11 Million illegal immigrants cross it? This bill also sets limits on ag workers, lower than what it is now. BTW, vote was 68-3 ...

I have not copied the whole articles since it would take up too much room. I HAVE POSTED THE LINKS AFTER THE ARTICLE. It's up to everyone to go to those links to read the whole article.The last time Congress enacted sweeping immigration reform was back in 1986. That bill, signed by Ronald Reagan, looked a lot like the proposals being put forward today. There was a path to citizenship for existing illegal immigrants, coupled with tighter border enforcement. What did the 1986 ...

In a discussion about his recent executive actions on immigration, President Obama called out "nativists" in the Republican Party who he claimed are obstructing immigration reform,in an interview with NPR published on Monday morning. "The question then becomes, by me having taken these actions, does that spur those voices in the Republican Party who I think genuinely believe immigration is good for our country? Does it spur them to work once again with Democrats and my administration to get a r ...

By Heather Monday Apr 26, 2010 5:00pm Mitch McConnell and Saxby Chambliss were both reading from the same script when asked about Arizona's new "show me your papers" immigration law. Mitch McConnell claimed he "hadn't studied it" and Saxby Chambliss called it a state's rights issue. Both of them claimed that the Congress just can't deal with immigration reform because there are too many other things they need to get done. Yeah, so few days, so many more bills and nominations ...

How refreshing to see gutsy city officials follow their conscience. (Reuters) - A top adviser to Oakland Mayor Jean Quan resigned on Monday over the city's handling of anti-Wall Street demonstrations, describing a morning raid to clear a downtown protest camp as a mistake that could trigger more volatility. Civil rights attorney Dan Siegel told Reuters he resigned at 2 a.m., hours before the raid on the Occupy Oakland encampment, after insisting that police should protect, not disma ...

NEW YORK (AP) - Mayor Michael Bloomberg came under fire Friday for pressing ahead with this weekend's New York Marathon in a city still reeling from Superstorm Sandy, with some New Yorkers saying that holding the race would be insensitive and tie up police, generators and other resources when many are still suffering. Joan Wacks, whose Staten Island waterfront condo was swamped with 4 feet of water, predicted authorities will still be recovering bodies when the estimated 40,000 runners fro ...

Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz introduced Mayor Bloomberg for his annual State of the City address. In honor of Bloomberg's birthday: "And that’s what makes today so hard, what do you get the man who has everything? Everything – I thought long and hard. A cake? Mayor, I tried to bring a cake from Junior’s but they wouldn’t let me. A bottle of wine? I can’t afford what you drink. Nets tickets? Guess what, he’s already got a box. A plane ride? Hey, he flies himself ...

Donald Trump’s election win sent a $2 trillion shock wave through global markets over the past month. That’s how much equities’ global market value has jumped. And that’s about the size of the loss in worth of the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Index of bonds, over the worst month for global bonds in dollar terms on record. Other assets were roiled, too: the yen plunged the most in 21 years against the dollar. It all amounted to a complete reversa ...

(THE BLAZE) Audio has surfaced of former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg’s controversial comments about getting “guns out of the hands” of minorities” during a Feb. 6 event at the Aspen Institute. Bloomberg’s represenatives reportedly attempted to block the release of footage of his remarks at the event. “It’s controversial, but first thing is all of your — 95 percent of your murders and murderers, and murder victims fit one M.O. You can jus ...

Houston has become the largest US city to elect an openly gay mayor. The new mayor did not make a secret or an issue of her orientation, but people working in her opponent's campaign did and I think it backfired on them. It would be nice to think that the age of smear campaigns is over, but I won't be that naive. It is heartening to see such fail, though. Yay Houston for electing on the issues and not on scare tactics. NJ ...

I'm sure those who listened to Christie are thankful they did evacuate. That was some scary stuff. Makes me thankful I don't like close to the coastline. By the time the remnant of any hurricane reaches me...it is just gusty wind and some rain. My hear ...

Republican Mayor Adam O'Neal walked from Belhaven, NC to D.C to protest the state's refusal to expand Medicaid under the ACA. The state's refusal to expand Medicaid has affected 500,000 people, Democrats and Republicans.

In his address to the issue he referred to the subject of police and the black population by describing how he has to warn his own son, that while the police are to be respected and they are thankful for them, but specifically as a black youth, he has to be extra careful, moreso than a white teen. This guy is way beyond Gov Nixon's level, but I suppose the Mayor of New York City should be. Then he repeated the speech in Spanish. Good for him. I hope they keep it u ...

Rahm Emanuel expected to quit White House Rahm Emanuel, the White House chief of staff, is expected to leave his job in six to eight months after growing tired of the "idealism" of Barack Obama's inner circle. Washington insiders say they believe he could depart not long after crucial elections in November. Mr Emanuel, 50, enjoys a good working relationship with Mr Obama but they are understood to have reached an understanding that differences over style mean he will serve only hal ...

It iis a federal crime for anyone to either aid someone to enter the country illegally OR TO ASSIST THEM TO REMAIN in the country illegally. I'd like to see criminal charges brought against a few of these scofflaw city officials. They can join their precious illegals in jail for awhile and then we'll see how much they like that sanctuary policy. I never in a million years would have thought I'd ever see such brazen lawlessness in this country. We're not Colombi ...
