Everybody is leaving Obama out of the equation. If he wants amnesty he will do it with one stroke of a pen.
He can pardon and reprieve, but he cannot grant citizenship or work status, and he cannot take away a foreigner’s current citizenship. Immigration is clearly and constitutionally under the authority of Congress.
So, they could still be deported. Just not fined or imprisoned for breaking the law about illegally coming here in the first place.
Exactly. It doesn't matter what the American people think about it. Every poll I've seen since the Clinton era shows that Americans want illegals deported, the border secure, etc. Yet nothing has been done, and illegals are still welcomed with open arms.
