Amnesty advocacy groups, frustrated by the lack of legislative progress in Congress, are preparing to pressure President Obama to expand his existing administrative amnesty program if Congress fails to pass an amnesty bill soon.

“There are groups that are for immigration reform no matter what,” Adelina Nicholls, the executive director of the Georgia Latino Alliance for Human Rights, told National Journal. “We have the other track. … The other track is Barack Obama.”

Nicholls is referring to a policy Obama announced June 15, 2012, that unilaterally gifted temporary legal status to all illegal immigrants under the age of 30 who can provide any evidence that they were brought to the United States before their 16th birthday. Those granted legal status through the program may then apply for a work permit and a Social Security number.

I see no reason whatsoever that the muslim doesn't do such. NOBODY will stop him. Yet NOBODY wants to admit that this is a Banana Republic.
