Obama to allow 100,000 Haitians into America without a visa
American Thinker ^ | 10/18/14 | Rick Moran

Calling it "“an irresponsible overreach of the executive branch’s authority.," Senator Charles Grassley, ranking Republican on the Judiciary Committee, is criticizing an executive order issued by the president that would allow at least 100,000 Haitian nationals into the United States to be "reunited with their families."

A similar program that reunited Central American children with their parents had a fraud rate of about 70%.

“The rebuilding and development of a safe and economically strong Haiti is a priority for the United States. The Haitian Family Reunification Parole program promotes a fundamental underlying goal of our immigration system — family reunification,” said Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas. “It also supports broader U.S. goals for Haiti’s reconstruction and development by providing the opportunity for certain eligible Haitians to safely and legally immigrate sooner to the United States.”

Roughly 100,000 Haitians already approved to come to the U.S. are currently awaiting visas, The Associated Press reported.

Mr. Grassley, whose Senate committee has jurisdiction over immigration policy, predicted the number of Haitians who would come to the U.S. under the program would likely exceed that estimate, calling it “likely just the beginning of the president’s unilateral and executive actions on immigration.”

“Parole is meant for humanitarian assistance on a case-by-case basis,” he said. “The president’s continued push to circumvent Congressional authority and ignore the rule of law sets a bad precedent for the future.”

It is impeachable. Only Congress can authorize immigration.

The reason for this is so that the Kings men cannot elect their own into higher office
and bring in all the kings men to take over our Gov to destroy the country. Treason.

These people have no education and will be nothing but a plight on society!
Most cannot and will not learn English, or work if they don't have to.
This is the Democrats fixing the polls forever more, and the Repubs are in
on single party rule. Once they merge it's all over and the merging has begun.

Watch what happens after the election, and what the Repubs try to pull.
They'll call it bi-partisan efforts or some other lie.

America is in deep trouble.

Was I correct about it being a goat? I’m having a senior moment and I’m only 38!
