Government Quietly Taking Bids For Executive Ordered Illegal Alien Amnesty Program

President Obama said in September plans for executive action that would allow amnesty for millions of illegal aliens will be deferred until after the midterms. On 20 October, however, Brian Hayes reported it differently in a Top Right News article. According to Hayes, a new Breitbart report states preparations for implementation of this very action are well under way.

"The Obama Administration is already soliciting bids for a “surge” up to 34 million “green cards”  and work permits for illegal aliens," Hayes said.

According to the Breitbart report:

Unnoticed until now, a draft solicitation for bids issued by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Oct. 6 says potential vendors must be capable of handling a “surge” scenario of 9 million id cards in one year “to support possible future immigration reform initiative requirements.”

The request for proposals says the agency will need a minimum of four million cards per year. In the “surge,” scenario in 2016, the agency would need an additional five million cards – more than double the baseline annual amount for a total of 9 million.

“The guaranteed minimum for each ordering period is 4,000,000 cards. The estimated maximum for the entire contract is 34,000,000 cards,” the document says.

The agency is buying the materials need to construct both Permanent Residency Cards (PRC), commonly known as green cards, as well as Employment Authorization Documentation (EAD) cards which have been used to implement President Obama’s “Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals” (DACA) program. The RFP does not specify how many of each type of card would be issued.

Jessica Vaughan, an immigration expert at the Center for Immigration Studies and former State Department official, said the document suggests a new program of remarkable breadth.

The RFP “seems to indicate that the president is contemplating an enormous executive action that is even more expansive than the plan that Congress rejected in the ‘Gang of Eight’ bill,” Vaughan said.

Last year, Vaughan reviewed the Gang of Eight’s provisions to estimate that it would have roughly doubled legal immigration. In the “surge” scenario of this RFP, even the relatively high four million cards per year would be more than doubled, meaning that even on its own terms, the agency is preparing for a huge uptick of 125 percent its normal annual output.

The legality and constitutionality of this segue  around the legislative process is seriously in question. Hayes encourages folks to (1) vote control of Congress away from the left in the midterm elections as well as (2) contact their Senators and Representatives to demand they file preliminary injunctions in Federal Court to stop Obama’s lawless executive action.

Where Is The Surgeon General Amid The Ebola Crisis?

Something struck me rather odd this evening as I read about the the new Ebola czar. I haven't heard the Surgeon General mentioned in all of this confusion about the who, what, when, how and wheres of dealing with this pending so called crisis. So, where is he or she?

Something else I find rather sad is the fact that I can't name the current Surgeon General. I'm not even sure if we have one any more, although I'm pretty sure we do.

I remember C. Everett Coop and Joycelyn Elders because they were at least somewhat visible. They made PSA's for television and sometimes appeared on the MSM talking heads news shows. But they were visible. We felt like a certified health expert was in charge of our national healthcare system.

So... who is our current Surgeon General? A little research provided the answer. But the point I'm making is why did I need to do that? I consider myself fairly well informed and up to speed on current events for the most part. Yet this comforting bit of information had somehow slipped through the cracks. In fact, I don't think I've heard the term "Surgeon General" mentioned by the present administration over the last 6 years.

Hold that thought for a moment.

I do, however, know that second, not a first, but a second czar has been named to lead the nation through this labyrinth that is the Ebola crisis. And who is this Ron Klain and how is he qualified to lead the charge? What exactly are his qualifications?

In 2011, Klain stepped down as chief of staff for Vice President Joe Biden. Before that, Klain was a well-connected Washington lobbyist. According to Senate lobbying disclosure records, Klain’s clients included Fannie Mae, U.S. Airways, Time Warner, CIGNA, and Imclone.

Additionally he worked on the staffs of Al Gore and Janet Reno. He also spent a good amount participating as a consultant of some kind on several Senate committees. And we wouldn't want to forget that he worked on both Obama and Bill Clinton's debate prep team.

But no where on his resume is there a hint of experience in public health, epidemiology, or cross-agency administration.

The White House said this of the qualifications for its newest Ebola czar, “What we were looking for was not an Ebola expert.” The White House didn’t want somebody who knew anything about Ebola to head up its anti-Ebola effort. It wanted an “implementation expert.”

Do tell... Well, Mr. Klain has no experience in that arena either. Something sounds amiss in all of this. The leading health official in the nation is bypassed and the whole episode is placed in the hands of a strong Democrat-operative and Beltway insider?

Maybe, just maybe, the Obama Administration isn't looking for a real medical solution to the Ebola issue, because they know it can't be successfully addressed quickly. Maybe, just maybe, the Administration is looking for a temporary political solution that suppresses the flames until after the November 4th general election.

Maybe it's just me and my suspicious nature, but then again, maybe it's not.

(Author's Note: I'm not sure if we have a serious Ebola issue in this country yet or if we ever will. I'm just curious as to why a blatant political response to a medical problem is being pursued.)

Besides the new state Farm Bill and all its considerations, the next big news in agriculture legislation is a new Commissioner of Agriculture in 2015. The current commissioner, James Comer, Jr. (R) has announced to run for Governor in 2015, leaving his office vacant. Learn more about Comer's experience and qualfications.

Comer announced his campaign for governor in the 2015 elections on September 9, 2014. In his speech, he outlined his campaign's themes including lower taxes, local control over education and reduced government regulation over the coal industry.

Comer won election as Kentucky Commissioner of Agriculture in 2011. He defeated Rob Rothenburger in the May 17 Republican primary and Democrat Robert Farmer in the general election on November 8.

The Kentucky Commissioner of Agriculture is an elected state executive position in the Kentucky state government. The commissioner is responsible for expanding agricultural markets, increasing rural economic development, and promoting the Kentucky Proud program.

Commissioners are elected to a four-year term, and are limited to serving two terms.
If agriculture is in your area of interest, keep your ear to the ground for more news probably after the first of the year.
