WASHINGTON ― Democrats are pressuring President Barack Obama to do whatever he can before leaving office to protect the more than 740,000 undocumented young people to whom he granted temporary work permits from the threat of deportation under the new administration.

On Thursday, Reps. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.), Lucille Roybal-Allard (D-Calif.) and Luis Gutiérrez (D-Ill.) asked Obama to issue pardons to Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals recipients, many of whom fear they could soon be under threat of deportation from President-elect Donald Trump.

The request is a long shot. Obama created the program for so-called Dreamers using executive authority, and there’s nothing to stop Trump from taking it away using

“By ‘undocumented’ do you mean ‘illegal alien’?”


Last night O’Reilly interviewed a college twit and used the term ‘illegal alien” in his question. The twit took great umbrage to the term and declared that a person cannot be illegal. O’Reilly schooled him for about a minute, and the twit kept repeating that a person cannot be illegal.

None are so blind as those who refuse to see.

The court stopped his SECOND illegal amnesty for illegal aliens, DAPA, because the states sued to stop it.
No one sued to stop his first illegal amnesty for illegal aliens, DACA, because our opposition party did not oppose him illegally legalizing illegal aliens, witness Sen. Graham’s statement warning Trump not to revoke Obama’s executive order.
Both actions were done without legal authority. Both should be revoked as soon as Trump is in office as both were illegal. We must get back to the rule of law.

The only thing broken about our immigration system has been successive Presidents refusing to enforce the laws.
Now we have one who will.
