Are you saying that Constitutional legitimacy matters to the Dems? That they are holding their hopes out on the House passing amnesty for that, when Obama can just sign a piece of paper and make them all voters?
If Obama can make illegals voting citizens on the spot then why wouldn't he have done it sooner?
They would all vote Dem.
He would be King. And then we should all move on to entertainment like the rest because its hopeless.
Didnt the SCOTUS just throw out that section of voting rights act that has Dems in a tizzy? The one that the GOP congress and POTUS passed in 2006?
Now after Hillary as POTUS replaces justice Kennedy in her first or second term she will be able to do anything she wants as the evil Queen, including deem citizenship.
But that is still a few years away.
Only as the path of least resistance. If Congress had passed a Dream Act then he would not have had to do the EO. But that would have meant the GOP had opened its trenchcoat all the way, exposing hideous treason for all to see.
That they are holding their hopes out on the House passing amnesty for that,
That may or may not be true. I never claimed either.

I never said that Obama was going to give out citizenship via fiat. I said that if he did, it was not clear to me who would stop him, considering all his lawless acts done with impunity.

I already posted a reason why that might be what they are doing. Let me try again. When he issued DACA, he claimed it was because Congress had not acted. "In the absence of any immigration action from Congress to fix our broken immigration system, what we’ve tried to do is focus our immigration enforcement resources in the right places....Effective immediately, the Department of Homeland Security is taking steps to lift the shadow of deportation from these young people."
You see, before blaming the GOP, he has to prove that they won't pass what he wants.
Yes, there are arguments for his not giving out citizenship. For example, DACA did not have citizenship, and the entire illegal population is not as cute and cuddly as the Dreamers. Also, they may be thinking that it's just a matter of time until the GOP, with enough bribes and arm twisting, caves.
