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.

“Doing such a thing would be the height of arrogance when you consider the opposition to amnesty from all sides. “
Yep...Meet Obama, Mr. Arrogance.
Take it back, one way or another.
Elections in America will be like the example of 3 wolves and a sheep voting on what’s for dinner.
The Middle Class will be that sheep and the illegal-driven Marxists will confiscate all of our wealth and property SO THAT it can all be more equitable and fairly redistributed to those with a greater need.
In essence, the electorate will vote themselves the largess of the republic and then America will be over.
Does not Obama anticipate a revolt for such a decision?
I hardly think such an executive order would be constitutional and without question would trigger a firestorm even from members of the Democratic party.
I really hope he does this. I double dare him to. If he does he will really stir up a hornet’s nest and he will be a one term president. It would be almost worth it.
I’ve recently heard it described
that the middle class are the milk cows,
the “elite ruling class” skims off the cream to live their lavish lifestyles,
and give the majority of the remaining milk to the underclass in order to secure their loyalty.
I really think the left is attempting to push all the buttons of the real Americans so that they’ll actually take some sort of concrete, physical action in response.
Then they’ll have the justification they need to do what they’ve always wanted to do - use the power of the state to punish and eliminate their ideological opposition.
No doubt he does. In fact, he’s counting on it. Any who take the law into their own hands will be labeled terrorists and have the full power of the federal government brought down upon them.
Bingo
People won’t stand for it.
Didn't we say that about the health care bill?
My greatest fear is at the end of his Presidency he will empty all our prisons with a general pardon.
And we must not give them a reason. They will not only go after the hotheads who resort to physical violence but through guilt by association, they will come after all conservatives. We must be vigilant to police our ranks in the coming months of those who would give Obama the rope by which he would hang us all.
Pardons, yes. Rule by presidential fiat, no.
Exactly! An EO becomes law 90 days after it's published in the Federal Register ... unless there are objections by Congress. Then it's subject to the standard reversal process. EO's have been stopped before. Their real strength lies in slipping one in under the radar and keeping it undetected. Clinton slipped in PDD 25 which was a classified EO that dealt with (supposedly) American involvement in UN Deployments for "Peace Keeping," but although officially declassified in 2009, the Congress still hasn't been able to see it. The point is that the real threat of any EO is if it's classified under national security. We can't fight what we can't see. Just like Health Care.
Case in point - The Michigan “Christian” Militia.
They picked the most unsympathetic-looking group imaginable, looking like they came straight out of “My Big Redneck Wedding”, and attached the word “Christian” to them
in order to paint all Christians that oppose the tyranny of the government with the same brush.
Your understanding only qualifies if you believe in the rule of law. We’re way past that. We’re being governed by whims of the White house!
I see it as a huge mistake, but who will/can do anything about it? Folks, you need to understand that the only way to stop this is full revolt and I do not think we have anyone on the Left willing to revolt. Even with revolt, what can be done?
In the event of mass civil disorder, 0bama would also have his rationale to ban guns. And confiscate them. And take over the manufacturers of ammunition.
And sort it out later.
My guess is he will give blanket amnesty to illegals on his way out in 2013, and they’ll immediately apply for whatever benefits of citizenship they don’t already have, and they’ll “come out of the shadows;” and then if the next administration tries to undo it, they’ll claim irreparable harm....and the courts will side with them. Even if the courts acknowledge that the EO was illegal, damage is done and to fix it would harm the newly minted citizens.
By the time the dispute works its way up to the “Kaganroo Court” there’ll be years of govt dependency and it would be so heartless to re-illegalize them, take away their crutches and free meds and college educations and voting rights.
Can’t say what I think any further, I’d be banned for sure.
