Business and immigration organizations lobbied Obama to expand the green card program for high-tech workers and the relatives of existing U.S. citizens and permanent residents.
They've suggested altering how the federal government issues green cards and specialty visas. Rather than counting each individual family member against the overall cap, the government could instead only count the head of a family — and not siblings, spouses, or children.
The White House said Wednesday it was “crazy” to attempt to divine the president's post-election plans for an immigration executive order based on a procurement request issued by the Department of Homeland Security.
“I mean, this is crazy,” White House press secretary Josh Earnest said, adding he would caution reporters against “making assumptions” based on the “procurement of green paper.”
The proposal, unveiled earlier this week by Breitbart News, asks potential contractors to prepare for the possibility of producing up to 34 million green cards and work permits over the next five years.
If fully filled, that would far surpass the current levels processed by the department. The U.S. issues a maximum of 480,000 green cards per year, and processed 862,000 work permits over the first six months of this year.
That's led many conservatives to speculate the order was made in preparation of a sweeping executive order by President Obama that could legalize millions of new or illegal immigrants.
But the White House said Wednesday such speculation was unfounded.
Earnest said those who were interpreting the solicitation as a signal of the president's plans were “a little too cleverly trying to divine” the president's intention, and that Obama had not even made final determinations about what he planned to announce after the election.
A spokesman for the U.S. Citizen and Immigration Service also downplayed the significance of the purchase order.
“Solicitations of this nature are frequent practice for all USCIS contracts and allow the Agency to be prepared for fluctuations in the number of immigration applications received, which can arise for any number of reasons,” said USCIS spokesman Chris Bently.

“If you want to keep the sanctity of your citizenship you can keep the sanctity of your citizenship. Period.”
They say it’s Crazy ,so that means it’s True ,LOL
This isn’t a nation anymore, it’s a dumping ground. It was a wealthy and powerful dumping ground,but the rats are taking care of that.
US Immigration Clearance Sale: Bring 1 in and get 7 free.
Same thing they said about Fast & Furious, Benghazi, IRS, etc.
Its not crazy. These White House spokesmen are degenerates and liars. Their job description is to lie, deflect, spin, blame others, whatever it takes
If we had real reporters one of them would have asked if there is no intention to use the paper then what is the justification for ordering it?
Liars
The most deceitful, mendacious and petulant “man” and administration in history. period
All I know is that if we let in the haitians, voodoo has a bunch of new holidays we’ll have to recognize.
Will we have to tolerate employees with voodoo dolls resembling their bosses on their desk?
Will companies have to provide chicken innards so that the future can be told?
> “That’s led many conservatives to speculate the order was made in preparation of a sweeping executive order by President Obama that could legalize millions of new or illegal immigrants.”
It’s not speculation. It clearly states in the RFP solicitation page 28, Section 4 last sentence that the purpose is for future immigration reform initiatives.
But there is no immigration reform law! So the solicitation is illegal.

Read all of what’s linked if you care to do anything about this back door approach to Executive Amnesty. (Note that the link on #2 is not working and a working link is given in #28 of the above linked post)
This article is a trial balloon to see what the reaction will be if the Obama people get creative in counting immigration numbers. They are in a panic because the news of what’s up and the link above will stop them cold.
We're hosed.
The pro-immigrant side is anti-American to their core it sounds like.
PING
I like the way Batman says, ‘crazy’ in this video.

” The pro-immigrant side is anti-American to their core it sounds like.”
So are the Chamber of Commerce amnesty RINOS, who just want cheap labor, and force the middle class to pay for all of their welfare.
Well then perhaps the secretive little piece of sh1t should just TELL us what his plans are.
And a staffer of the zero admin never said “we are here to manage America’s decline”. Nope, that was never said.
