And congress will sit with its thumb in its arse as Obama usurps yet another of its constitutionally mandated prerogatives.

I agree with you 100%.

Look at the bright side... politically.... If Amnesty prevails and the borders secured the so called "immigration" problem will no longer be a campaign issue for the democrats.

All republicans need to do is articulate their conservative ideas and they will win the votes from all races, creeds and nationalities and they will win. Conservatism (when articulated, wins everytime).

Conceding to the Cuban government is a lose lose situation for the Obama administration and democrats who stand behind it not to mention bypassing Congress to do it.

Politically BOTH can be good for the republican party (and I am not a republican).

Unfortunately, the way Obama's doing both is spitting at the US Constitution and causing damage to this great nation of ours.

I have my doubts that Republicans will be able to articulate conservative ideas because if there was an ounce of conservatism in their blood Obama would not have gotten as far as he has without having been impeached. I just don't see how one can ignore the US Constitution and claim to be conservative at the same time.

At this point John Boehner is just as guilty as Obama for allowing it all to happen.

How is this the bright side? What indication have you seen that our elected “leaders” in Washington have any intention of securing the borders? There are already many laws in the books that directly deal with this.

Bottom line... The Democrat party wants amnesty as a means of creating a permanent majority underclass, thereby cementing the party’s power in perpetuity. The Republican party wants amnesty in hopes of replacing its conservative base and delivering millions of cheap indentured servants to its puppet masters at the Chamber of Commerce.

I wish I could believe this. But IMO the appeal to tribal solidarity and free goodies seems to be irresistible, especially when the alternative is taking personal responsibility for one's own condition.

The rest of the world just doesn't think like the traditional American.
