President Obama's lawyers are developing a careful legal rationale that would allow the administration to take executive action on immigration enforcement while holding up in a potential court challenge. Republicans are expected to greet any unilateral moves by the White House with intense opposition.
The lawyers are expected to argue that Congress has left the administration with too few resources to enforce every law and deport all of the roughly 11.5 million immigrants living in the U.S. illegally. That forces the government to prioritize which immigrants to remove from the country.

How do lawyers defend a law that is not legal... that is not even a law?
This is a perversion of the law. “O” is a criminal and the ‘lawyers’ are themselves accessories to his CRIME
This is beyond hypocritical. Let ‘em in thru executive inaction on the border, and then blame Congress for not giving the President the rules to keep them in an orderly fashion.
Shakespeare was right.
They should not be allowed to let Obunghole take all the heat.
Screw the law and deliver early implementation of shariah law to ‘em. Why should we follow the rules and be civil and law abiding anymore? They ure aren’t. There are times to turn the other cheek and then there are these times.
It’s the usual game plan: get the policy in place, legal or not, and then scream that canceling it will mortally wound a newly dependent population. What this country needs is an opposition party. We don’t have one.
And that is up to the Congress to do at their perogative qnd then if the White House wants to go along with it, he sign legislative action, which originates in the house and sign budgets.
Further, I don’t recall any of his budgets calling for some specific action in this area. Never mind they have been roundly rejected
this is derivative of public defender overwork cases. PD were overwhelmed with work and sued because they could not realistically represent all these people.
Now the question simply becomes funding.
the is like the kid who kills the parents and demands mercy as an orphan.
Obama’s lawyers are the Worst In the World
Republicans will scream but then will maneuver to get on the new perceived gravy train.
We have no friends in Washington.
Stagnation: CBO Revises 2014 GDP Growth Projection Down to 1.5 Percent
The Rule of Law is over. It is truly now every man for himself and his. The population wont realize that until the trains are loading and they remember that they left their guns in the safe at home.
If only.
4. _Resolved_, That alien friends are under the jurisdiction and protection of the laws of the State wherein they are: that no power over them has been delegated to the United States, nor prohibited to the individual States, distinct from their power over citizens. And it being true as a general principle, and one of the amendments to the Constitution having also declared, that the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people, the act of the Congress of the United States, passed on the day of July, 1798, intituled An Act concerning aliens, which assumes powers over alien friends, not delegated by the Constitution, is not law, but is altogether void, and of no force [emphasis added]. Thomas Jefferson, Draft of the Kentucky Resolutions - October 1798.
In fact, regardless of PC interpretations of the Constitution's Supremacy Clause (Clause 2 of Article VI), the Supreme Court has historically clarified that powers not delegated to the feds expressly via the Constitution are prohibited to the feds, the power to regulate immigration in this example.
From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]. United States v. Butler, 1936.
So what Obama really needs to do if he wants to support congressional reform on immigration within the framework of the Constitution as the Constitution requires him to do (ahem) is the following. Obama needs to lead Congress to propose an immigration amendment to the Constitution to the states. And if the states should choose to ratify Obama's amendment then Congress will have the constitutional authority that it needs to address immigration issues and Obama will be a hero.
Basically like this guy in Judgment at Nuremberg...
Just my opinion of course.
Lawns aren't getting mowed!
Restaurant dishes aren't getting cleaned!
Motel/Hotel rooms aren't getting cleaned!
Concrete isn't getting poured!
...I don't think so.
THE FACTS ARE THESE: E/O'ing amnesty is othing but a huge smoke-screen to disguise the Dummycrats' massive 2014 voter fraud that is about to ensue.
Fed-up voters have the Dummycrats in their sites----so the Dum-Dums need a way to rationalize why they'll get re/elected. Watch for smug Dummy statements WRT the "Hispanic" vote.
The Dummies got the names of the swarmers already registered to vote---they'll send in ringers to vote the names on election day.
==================================================
Now I'm betting the border-jumpers are in no rush to get "legalized." They got a dam good thing going---cashing multiple US govt checks under several identities.
These agents of foreign govt's don't want that money pile messed up....... and neither do their foreign handlers.
The homeland govts are making a bundle via the swarmers' wire-transferred "remittances" (this is AKA as "money-laundering" US tax dollars).
“Congress has left the administration with too few resources to enforce every law and deport”
What about the money for border security so we wouldn’t have millions to deport? Where are they getting the money to support the illegals?
The democrats blame everything on lack of money.
This is infuriating. I want to stick my head out the window and shout “I’m not going to take it anymore”!
