Obama will take executive action on immigration after summer, adviser says
Christian Science Monitor ^ | 7/25/2014 | Francine Kiefer

WASHINGTON — President Obama will go ahead with a “very significant” executive action on immigration after the summer – a move that may well trigger impeachment proceedings against him, senior Obama adviser Dan Pfeiffer told reporters at a Monitor breakfast Friday.

“The president acting on immigration reform will certainly up the likelihood that [Republicans] would contemplate impeachment at some point,” said Mr. Pfeiffer, who has been at the Obama White House since its inception.

A lot of people in Washington laughed off Sarah Palin’s call to impeach the president for executive overreach, Pfeiffer said, but “I would not discount that possibility.” Polling shows strong support for the idea among the GOP base, he said, adding that House Speaker John Boehner (R) of Ohio has opened the door to the possibility with his lawsuit against Obama.

Oh I agree, the talk of Impeachment means nothing as long as the Dem control the Senate. There will be plenty of time after the November elections.

yeah....two years..

But I still think we need to show a majority of the voters in favor. To make it stick.

Trying to stir the pot before the 2014 elections in November. After the summer? Another ‘October surprise’? That would throw a monkey wrench into the RINOs’ plans for November.

"Directive ordering USCIS to grant citizenship immediately to all of these aliens"

Absurd paranoia.

POTUS cannot change the law. All he CAN do is decide which laws he will and will not enforce.

Awesome power, no doubt.

But whatever Executive action he takes now can be undone by the next POTUS.

Without exception.

No impeachment. waste of time and money because it is never going anywhere.

Whatever Obama does just refuse to fund it.

I read this as...
After the summer = right before the election
Impeachment talk = gin up support from the lib base = helping progressive turnout = trying to demoralize the right when Boehner stalls = suppress conservative turnout

Not surprising from this WH. All politics. All the time. No action on behalf of America. None of the time.

I would not doubt that Obama issue a classified National Security Directive ordering USCIS to grant citizenship immediately to all of these aliens. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if he ordered USCIS agents (and contractors) to process their citizenship while they are still in their home countries.

ALREADY BEING DONE. Read about it yesterday. I am searching for the link.

In the mean time, here is this:

Barack Obama: Coyote-in-Chief

"RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, there's another reason why the Obama administration is gonna go to Honduras, the so-called pilot program, and declare the children down there refugees. You know, it's a little technicality that probably wouldn't hold up. I mean, talking about what is the law in the United States anymore is -- what's the big deal? I mean, when the president can, on a whim, ignore it, but nevertheless, technically speaking you cannot apply for refugee status if you're already in the US, which explains why Obama is sending US agents down to Honduras. It's a technicality, he could wave it. That's not really why they're going down there. They're going down there to speed the arrival. They're going down there to fly them up here so we don't have to wait for them to get through Mexico. "

Here's another from the NYT.

U.S. Considering Refugee Status for Hondurans

The Feds are going to start going to Central America to pick up illegal aliens and escort them back to America.

Already being done.

This is looking more and more feasible.

He's already pushed the military to the edge with his faggot infiltration, there has to be some in the Officer Corps that will consider the line crossed if this illegal granting of US Citizenship to illegal alien criminal invaders occurs.

“Because there’s an election in November”

I still don’t get it. Him pushing amnesty before the election could backfire. I don’t think the sheeple are pleased about having their communities infiltrated with illegals, now that it is being forced upon them. I’m thinking this whole amnesty thing could backfire.
