Obama’s Unilateral Amnesty Really Will Be Unprecedented – and Unconstitutional
Daily Signal ^ | 11/19/14 | Hans von Spakovsky, John G. Malcolm

Posted on 11/19/2014 9:48:45 AM PST by SoFloFreeper

According to the Associated Press, as well as House Minority leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., Reps. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill., and Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., President Barack Obama’s plan to provide executive amnesty to more than five million illegal immigrants is no different than unilateral actions that were taken by Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush.

However, this claim plays a bit fast-and-loose with history and fails to explain the significant difference between Obama going against the will of Congress, which considered and rejected the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act on several occasions, including when both houses of Congress were controlled by the president’s party, and Reagan and Bush who made administrative corrections designed to carry out congressional intent.

Very good piece explaining the differences between Reagan and Bush's actions and what Obamugabe is apparently about to do.

The Associated Press is soooo dishonest. I bet Team Obama planted that story.

It will be unprecedented as the Unions find out the democRATs do not represent them. I’ll watch and enjoy the popcorn ... LOL

Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., Reps. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill., and Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif.

Three people whose families had nothing to do with the founding and development of the United States and have shown over time that they have one goal: loot the country for as much as they can and disempower the original Americans, who they hate.

They could always move home. Apparently it's more fun to loot.

Time to start a legal case to enjoin enactment of executive amnesty.

I think all eyes are on the Congress. This will be more of a defining moment for them than Barry Soetoro.

This will set a precedent for even more sweeping unilateral executive actions. Obama is not going to stop here. In fact, this power mad POS will probably escalate things from here. The congress had better put a stop to this and fast.

The Sultan will do a series of Unconstitional acts, escalating in severity as the Republicans decline to counter them. suspect Amnesty may start “small”- amnesty for the “children” or for “families” and followed by amnesty for larger groups until it is general Amnesty. When he gets that far with nothing more than wailing and hand wringing from the Republicans then he will go to Citizenship and voting rights. That should complete the necessary work for the Transformation of America. 10 to 30 million new Democrat votes in November 2016 ends effective opposition form the voters. After successful Amnesty/citizenship he can go to Shariah for the Moslems in the USa so that if a Moslem kils his family the cadi’s court can deal with it, or even if the Moslem kills his Christian neighbor. Leftists who salivate at the Stalinization of the government and society don’t seem to understand that they will not be included in the Sultan’s Moslem Utopia, not without Shaheed and conversion.

And there’s not one thing we can do about it.

Hence my comment. The dems in Congress better start to smell the coffee. They have far more to lose than the republicans in this matter. If they continue down the delusional tone deaf road they’re on they best have an up to date resume handy. We’ll see where things settle out over the few days after Barry has his fun. As I said all eyes will be on the Congress.....

He will, in fact, become Emperor if he does this.

“Obama’s Unilateral Amnesty Really Will Be Unprecedented – and Unconstitutional”

and the GOPe leadership won’t lift a finger to keep Obola from doing it. Because they are in favor of amnesty themselves.

My trigger finger is itchy as hell!

Hell I have corresponded with a couple Canadians here at FR that are willing and able to join in on all the fun.

Until we grow balls that are comparable to the ones owned by the real patriots many years ago NOTHING will ever happen to rein in these pricks on both sides of the isle!

NO SHlT I am ready NOW!

I just hope our guys will have the guts to do something to stop it. Like get a Fed Judge to stay the order pending determination on constitutionality of the order and to charge Obama with treason.

it’s interesting that we are relying on Roberts to get us out of this. If the Sultan successfully defies the people and Congress does not act to counter him, is it realistic to think that even if the Court rules against him,it will have any effect? This is a takeover, a real Transformation.Why would a couple of judges on the Court stop him now? A successful Amnesty and Citizenship will end the Constitution as more than a rhetorical reference. The Caliphate will follow,or the Civil War.

King Barry is going to plunge this country into a very serious constitutional crisis of his own making. Clearly, its all part of his big plan to “transform” this country. I hope the Republicans can expedite a lawsuit to stop him before things get totally out of control and we slide into despotism.

We're turning into a nation of such people: Post-1965 immigrants (legal and illegal) and their offspring. When I see posts all over the Internet about how evil whites are, how they stole the land from Indians and Mexicans and thus have no right to complain about being invaded, how whites are racists, "F whites," rejoicing that whites will be a minority, gleefully wishing whites would die, etc., etc., I wonder how many of the posters are post-1965 immigrants or their offspring, who've been brainwashed by the media and public schools. They do indeed HATE us, so what do we think life will be like for our children and grandchildren? A living hell.

We should be emailing the teamsters and building trades unions and tell them we will dump them if this happens and open a scab company to compete with the millions of new illegals.

Use a throw-away email address so they don’t know who you are.

Those two unions will be hit hard by this.
