Earnest said that the options were “all very difficult policy problems.”

Yep, it's actually illegal for the president to change existing law with an executive order.

The only action people want to see right now is to close the border until we get this under control or enforce the border laws. Anyone that would stand up and say that unafraid could become the next president.

In other words, they aren’t going to do anything until they get all these future dems in place and then they hope that the press will forget about it.

I have a novel idea. How about if you try enforcing the immigration laws?

“Executive Action” is just a nice way of saying “dictatorship.” One man doing what the thinks should be done, Constitution be damned.

White House attorneys are examining whether the president can use executive action to “level the playing field” on immigration for business owners, press secretary Josh Earnest said Monday.

Legally, no. But He's The Won, so of course he can.

“These are individuals who, in many cases, are largely indistinguishable from so many other Americans,” he said.


Except for having no ID or fake ID. /S

“And the question is, how do you confront that challenge in a way that reflects our tradition as a country of immigrants, but also a country that enforces the law.”

Obviously with more laws, more regulations on business
sure, that will help.../s

So he will be telling employers that it is OK to hire illegals? This will help America get jobs how?

I'm against amnesty.

Still, I would like ask a question about the pro-amnesty people and their push to pass immigration reform that would give 11 million illegals a path to citizenship.

Here's my thinking: If the federal government cannot handle and process the 50 thousand to 200 thousand illegals flooding our southern border like in Texas, then how in the world is our government going to process 11 million illegals if the Senate immigration bill is ever passed?

Myself, I say that it would be an impossible task for our government to process smoothly all those 11,000,000 illegals already in this country.

So passing the Senate immigration bill giving 11 million illegals instant amnesty is wrong. It is not workable and would be a nightmare for years and years.

For business owners? Since when has he cared about business owners? Is this a switch from 'You didn't build that?' How about easing all the government regulations, if he really cares about business owners?
