Several Senators have learned of a possible plan by the Obama Administration that would provide a mass Amnesty for the nation's 11-18 million illegal aliens. Led by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), eight Senators addressed a letter to the President asking for answers to questions about a plan that would allow DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano to provide an amnesty if they can't secure enough votes for a bill in the Senate.
The letter that was sent to Pres. Obama earlier today asks the President for clarification on the use of deferred action or parole for illegal aliens. The executive actions are typically used in special cases and are evaluated on a case-by-case basis, but if 60 votes can't be secured in the Senate to pass a mass Amnesty, the Administration may use the discretionary actions as an alternative.

Look for mobs in the streets if this happens.
Mexican mobs with Mexican flags. The wimpy Americans would probably moan and groan but do little.
I agree, and I’ll be there. We have put up with alot from this guy so far, and I’m thinking most of it can be repealed/fixed. But not this.
Ping!
Why would anyone be surprised that a would-be dictator is thinking of pulling such a stunt? One thing’s for SURE...illegals had better be able and willing to vote in DROVES come November, as there may be 100 fewer democrats in office after the election should Hussein actually DO this!!
Mobs of who, or what???
Us or them???
Yet another example of Obama’s elitist resolve to explicitly thwart popular will and pass a law that would be extremely harmful to America.
I think that’s the catch in this kind of takeover coup by mass amnesty. Mexican immigrants are not that politically motivated and I don’t think more than 20% of them would actually try to register and vote, because of concern that they would identify themselves as illegal immigrants and then they might be deported later if the mass amnesty was overturned (by courts or congress).
So the number of votes lost by the democrats among legal citizens in 2010 would be far more than the votes gained by illegals voting. So a mass amnesty by executive order would very likely backfire disastrously on Obama and lead to a huge number of GOP victories in November. So I think the rumors are probably exaggerated and this kind of stunt isn’t going to happen. Not that this administration wouldn’t want to do this if it would work, but their problem is that it would backfire badly in the first election and lead to GOP control of both the House and the Senate.
0bozo will suspend elections and declare martial law huh?
Nicolae Caecescu (put before a firing squad and shot for high treason by a very irate Romanian people on Christmas Day 1988) says, "Hello!". He thought he could ignore the law and do what he liked against the will of the people too. And he was much tougher than 0bozo will ever be if he lived to be a 100.
Just let the cowradly Kenyan Marxist try imposing martial law and see what happens to him.
Nicolae Ceausescu executed on Christmas Day 1988
Obama isn’t going to attempt a takeover coup by mass amnesty. First that would lead to the GOP taking control of both the House and the Senate in November, and then a substantial number of remaining congressional democrats would abandon Obama and join a veto-proof majority that would overturn the executive order of mass amnesty by an act of congress. So the whole thing would end up as a huge disaster for the White House if they attempt a mass amnesty by executive order.
I smell desperation. Obama is panicking.
I think this is just another strategic head fake.
During the Obamacare negotiations the Dems threatened to pass the bill through a “reconciliation” which would have been an abuse of that legislative technique. By saying that he would get it done anyway, Obama was able to get more Dems to vote for it in the end. I think this is a similar attempt. “You might as well vote for Comprehensive Immigration Reform now, otherwise I am going to give all of the Illegals a pardon (amnesty) anyway, without your input and no bribe to you”.
There are a lot of old dogs that aren’t going to lie down. You can underestimate the American people but I know I won’t.
