On Friday, La Raza President and CEO Janet Murguia demanded that President Barack Obama give executive amnesty and work permits to as many as eight million illegal immigrants after reports surfaced that Senate Democrats are urging Obama not to unilaterally change the country's immigration laws before the midterm elections.
Appearing on MSNBC's Jose Diaz-Balart, Murguia said Obama and Republicans have told illegal immigrants in the past to wait for Congress to act on legislation before complaining that, "and now, there's some Senate Democrats who are asking us to wait again."
"We're done waiting. We've waited long enough," she said, claiming that 1,100 lives are "shattered" because of deportations every day. "We, as a community, expect him to fulfill his promises."
Murguia said her community was "frustrated," claimed that Obama has the "legal authority to step in and act," and said that "anywhere between three to eight million" illegal immigrants "could be served by an administrative action."
"For us, we want him to exercise the full authority that he has to provide relief for these individuals and also the opportunity to be able to leverage economic revenues and therefore provide some work permits for these individuals," she said....

I demand Mexico (and Guatemala and El Salvador and Ecuador and all the rest) give me amnesty RIGHT NOW ... or else.
Well, he did say, regarding the detention of the Marine in a Mexican jail, that he “supports the rule of law”. He plainly meant, foreign law, not American law.
“Will no one rid of us of this pestilential _resident?”
Hey Janet, that’s the way third world dictators run countries.
You know, like the countries most of your illegal aliens living here have come from.
We need to deport La Raza and you along with all ILLEGAL ALIENS.
He cannot give executive amnesty since he has no authority to do so.
All terms as quaint as the notion of "dressing for dinner."
Isn't this akin to a declaration of war?
And we already have a path to citizenship. Come here legally, as many other immigrants have done.

Janet, sorry, some bad news. Your boy isn't an honest politician. Surprise.
MrsMel, it sure doesn’t look like it. (remove the guy)
Yes, Mexico is reverenced as if it was a great place, ruled by a great government.
They all flee it, and trash the nation that was gracious enough not to haul their asses back to the border and dump them off.
Pray Americans that we can save our country from the invading hordes plundering and literally raping.
Contrition and amdndment of life will help.
Agree 101%. I really meant MSNBC.
Let me try to understand this. The group that lobbies for those breaking the law by being in this country illegally is demanding that the intentional breakers of the law be “forgiven” by giving them amnesty? Horse Manure smells better than this.
Manana.
Watch him. I also expect him to pardon every black person in prison, jail, probation and parole before he leaves office. Bet me that he won’t.
They could quite well see that point, they just don’t care. They are yet another group which considers themselves “entitled”. Every group is “entitled”, except white males, particularly heterosexual (IOW, sane), Christian, white males. They are “privileged” (privileged to supply the “entitlements” of the rest).
Well, when all the Mexicans are here, we will be Mexico. Then where will they flee? Not all western countries are so suicidal-most are, but not all.
Succinct; too the point; and spot on. Nice post Jules.
