Obama is violating the most important principle in the Constitution the separation of powers. Separation of Powers is also the basic tenet of freedom
with open borders to the 3rd world the USA will be destroyed in a few years.
Once you decide that the feral government gets to pick-and-choose which laws it wishes to enforce and whom to enforce them against, laws no longer matter.
There are MILLIONS of illegals collecting welfare, and food stamps right now. Hell, just in California alone!
And the most relevant one here, like assuming the democrats will allow an initiative of theirs to be rolled back - formerly illegal immigrants having their legal status revoked.
Gutierrez said they won’t be able to sign up for welfare, food stamps and other federal benefits.

Reminds me of the other big lies...
“Money is the root of all evil”
“I’ll only put the head in”
“I was just helping the sheep over the fence”
I love how, by Dem logic, you can repeatedly do something illegal for 5-10 years and somehow pass a background check.
Why should Gowdy and Schumer or anyone in congress write any more immigration laws? Zero doesn’t abide by the laws already on the books. Congress should force zero to abide by all current laws, and if he doesn’t then they shouldn’t even discuss making any new laws with him in office.
No, that’s not what is going to happen. What is going to happen is that illegals are going to continue being illegal, and when caught, the cops are just going to let them walk. They’re not going to go submit fingerprints, pay for background checks, etc. They’re going to continue exactly how they’re going now. They’ll continue to get paid under the table or under a fake SSI card, they’ll continue to pull benefits for their anchor babies, and life will change little.
All that will happen is that deportations will come to a crushing halt. Sure, maybe some might go through the process, but most won’t even bother to fill out the initial paperwork.
Evidence? Look at Reagan’s amnesty. Illegals don’t want to work within the system - if they did, they’d be here legally. Line jumpers don’t go get into another line.
Many states don’t check.
All I know is that was enough to change the formerly swing state of California deep blue for the rest of my lifetime.
Gutierrez said “there is no citizenship” in the plan.
“The president has no authority. Only through an act of Congress can they ever be granted citizenship,” he said.
Rep. Gutierrez is being disingenuous here (duh) in talking of “citizenship.”
The President lacks authority to grant LAWFUL PERMANENT RESIDENCE (a/k/a “green cards”) to anyone through an executive order. (Doesn’t mean he won’t try, of course.)
It resulted in 2.7 million APPLICATIONS, of which less than 75% were valid applications (many applicants were those who wanted to bypass the normal immigration system and applied during trips to the United States, misunderstanding the program.) Of the remaining 2 million applications, less than half paid the fees associated with the application. Of the million applications that were initially paid for, less than 600,000 completed the next round and paid their fees.
All in all, only a little over 500,000 permanent resident cards were issued.
I know you likely saw the images of the huge lines to fill out applications. There were very few application centers, and if the numbers bantered around were actually correct, there would have been over 500,000 permanent resident cards issued in California. Those lines would have had to have been miles longer than they actually were to accommodate that number.
How could their background check come back clear when they have been living in the country illegally (and probably illegally working using falsified documents) for the entire time?
Yep, that is the Rat version of compromise.
Interesting - source? I’d like to read more.
Doesn’t matter what he does. It will be illegal and over turned by the courts or legal legislation.
You have the proof, thanks.
In 1986 the government estimated one million would apply. The true number turned out to be 2.7 million.
Obama's first executive amnesty, the 2012 DACA Dreamer amnesty, has signed up 580,000 so far, which provided them with ID cards, work permits, and SSNs. An estimated 1.8 million are eligible.
I have no doubt that millions will apply. The bottleneck will be in processing. This is going to take years. In the meantime, deportation will almost come to a halt. There will be no workplace checks.
And we know from the 1986 amnesty that there will be a surge of illegals to take advantage of the amnesty. In 1986 you had to be here for five years before being allowed to apply. Phony document mills were set up blocks from the processing centers to provide applicants with whatever fraudulent documents they needed.
None of this will be reversed. The country is finished.
