The Obama administration has been holding behind-the-scenes talks to determine whether the Department of Homeland Security can unilaterally grant legal status on a mass basis to illegal immigrants, a former Bush administration official who spoke with at least three people involved in those talks told FoxNews.com.

I see this is a duplicate thread; my earlier search before posting was futile.

Univision news is reporting this as a done deal, and as if it were the Second Coming.

Does this mean they won’t have to go to the back of the line, pay back taxes, learn English?

Granting them legal residence status does NOT grant them citizenship.
This is a bad idea, but there are limits to what Obama can do here.

`Homeland Security may bypass the Constitution’
In other news, hundreds of thousands of Americans are locating so-called “assault” weapons and ammunition stores, previously thought destroyed or lost, and consider bypassing their representatives in the federal congress, empowered by the Constitution to pass laws, and the federal executive branch, mandated to enforce them.

BO/BS couldn't care less about the rule of law or the Constitution. Remember he is a flaming socialist/marxist and views the Constitution as a document of negative rights

That's assuming BO/BS will abide by the rule of law. He considers himself a dictator with no regard for existing law as we have seen.

...The former official said it's unclear what specific avenues the administration is considering, but that one potentially feasible option would be to use either deferred action or parole to legalize at once the millions of immigrants who have overstayed their visas -- not necessarily those who crossed the border illegally. Deferred action and parole would give illegal immigrants the ability to seek a work permit and temporary legal status.
Those two tools are usually used on a case-by-case basis. The former official said any move to broaden that authority and use it on a mass basis would be "woefully inappropriate," though politically brilliant.
I wish the media would quit confusing brilliance with cunning, conniving, unscrupulous circumvention of the rules.
But that is what substitutes for brains is a socialist society...sigh.

Not good.

You don’t understand. These bastards think they can use the Constitution to Make you believe that the Constitution is Unconstitutional. They are drunk on power, and actually believe the psychotic crap they’ve been dishing out in universities for the last 50 years.
It is starting to dawn on more people every day that this A-hole really is the nightmare we told them he was, and I am hearing a lot of people regret their vote.

It is the stuff of which violent revolutions are made.
Of course, that is what he wants to provoke, so he can declare martial law.

We the people are the ONLY ones who can stop this Administration, Congress, Senate from breaking the law/doing things that are un constitutional. And we are clearly not ready to do that.
We still think calling our congressmen, sending emails and faxes and voting will work.
Where is the George Washington or Ben Franklin of our time. We desperately need them to stir the masses before its too late.
