Republicans are criticizing the Obama administration’s new leniency for some illegal immigrants as a politically motivated and possibly illegal effort to win over Hispanic voters.
The Republicans contend the new rules — which will prevent deportations for as many as 800,000 illegal immigrants brought to the United States as children — circumvent the law just to buy Obama support from Hispanics ahead of November's elections, in which the Hispanic vote will likely be crucial.
Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Texas), chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, said the change marks "a breach of faith with the American people."
“This huge policy shift has horrible consequences for unemployed Americans looking for jobs and violates President Obama’s oath to uphold the laws of this land," Smith said in a statement.
“How can the administration justify allowing illegal immigrants to work in the U.S. when millions of Americans are unemployed?” he added. “President Obama and his administration once again have put partisan politics and illegal immigrants ahead of the rule of law and the American people.”
On Twitter, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said the policy would entice people to break the law.
“President Obama’s attempt to go around Congress and the American people is at best unwise and possibly illegal,” he tweeted. “This is a classic Barack Obama move of choosing politics over leadership.
“This decision avoids dealing with Congress and the American people instead of fixing a broken immigration system once and for all,” he said on Twitter.
Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) piled on, arguing that changes of such significance should require the approval of Congress.

Ok why doesn’t Congress do anything to stop him from his tyrannical behavior? Obama had taken over the entire country, invalidated the Constitution and run roughshod over our civil liberties... Why do they just sit back on all this?
Of course, the States can simply ignore this illegal law.
I feel the answer is easier than an ultimately unsuccessful impeachment attempt:
1) Tie the implementation of this illegal lawmaking up, in court.
2) The States may feel perfectly free to ignore illegal lawmaking.
3) Start laughing at Obama, mocking him mercilessly, for being an impotent loser who has no clue -- after 3.5 years -- what his job is. He'd crack under derision. It also defuses anyone from taking this illegal lawmaking seriously.

No... you can do all of those things and impeach him... there is no reason not to impeach him... regardless of the treason that lies in wait in the Senate.

You're a little late. That shift occurred 3.5 years ago when he took that oath in the first place.
I called Brady’s office (you have to hold a mirror to his face to see if he is breathing) and got some staffer. Poor kid. I am in no mood for political double speak.
They were “surprised” and had not had time to “formulate an position”.
I told him that if they didn’t respond and stop this that Congress is meaningless and that he is already.
At least Palazzo has a position if not a good one.
We have to ask though, is our outrage what he wants? How does it help him? What is the smart thing to do here? This is politics, it is evil. To win it should be simply a matter of right and wrong, lawful and unlawful but it isn’t that way anymore and probably never has been.
I just spoke with a very cordial young lady in Congressman Mike Roger’s (R-AL) D.C. office! She said I was the nicest of the MANY calls she had taken just today - despite my adamant statement that this “USURPER-IN-CHIEF” (NOT my President) needs to be impeached and tossed out of office.
I repeated the same message to folks in the D.C. offices of Senators Jeff Sessions (R-AL) and Richard Shelby (R-AL).
And you will be politely ignored, just like all of us and just like the Constitution and just like the jobs we hired them to do.
They don’t mind you calling because you don’t matter.

I concur.
The young lady I just spoke with from the office of Senator Sessions (R-AL) told me that the quickest way to remove our “Usurper-in-Chief” is to VOTE HIM OUT! I informed her that I understand; however, I emphatically stated that he still needs to be IMPEACHED, even if it is unsuccessful... at the very least, WE THE PEOPLE will send the (insert befitting, ugly names here) a strong message: DON’T TREAD ON ME!
Realizing that impeachment begins in the House, I also contacted the office of Congressman Mike Rogers (R-AL) with the same message.
Then, I called the office of Senator Richard Shelby (R-AL).
I say it is time to notify the village in Kenya that is missing their one I. . . t, and tell Obummer he needs to phone home . . . .
You mean to say they are missing their IDIOT? What is wrong with that? Say it.
oblabla is an IDIOT. He is also a criminal and a traitor.
I just find it so frustrating that so many in Congress are just so quiet. Surely there are blue dog Dems who are not happy about the unconstitutionality of this power grab. Even for their own selfish self protection I would expect them to say enough is enough. I do believe that once Nov comes, we will be in a better position - having thrown his butt out of office - but even then, what happens to all this stuff he has done? It is unconstitutional, much of it, do we just ignore it, or write new to supersede this or throw allt his stuff out or... what? I really don’t know.
We always do what is RIGHT for America, the Constitution and the Rule of Law... regardless of the risk. Have faith in GOD!

Romney is against Amnesty. Tom Tancedo endorsed Romney.Where are those that tell us Romeny is worse?
What hasn't this Obama done to destroy America, added 5 trilion in debt on us, gave Amnesty to illegals(bypassing of Congress), sent our jobs to China, exploded government size and power, used EPA to destroy what's left of American industry, etc.

I do have faith in God.
Sodom was destroyed. Twice He sent the nation of Israel to wander in the wilderness and vowed that none of the generation who failed him would enter the promised land.
He has been very clear for a long, long time about what he does to nations that have forgotten Him, even when those who have not forgotten him are included.
We probably have a sodomite leading our country. He has endorsed others of the same stripe.
I suppose a lot scoff at this now. Too bad for all of us.
An attempt to incite a race war, perhaps?
Raise, then dash, the hopes of near a million people willing to break laws?
Just suffered to hear stupids arguments for what he has done. “these kids didn’t know they were born without US citizenship or that they were brought here illegally and so they deserve citizenship.”
By very little extension to this stupid argument one could say that obingo or chen or abdul didn’t know they were born in zimbabwe, laos or yemen and didn’t get the choice to be born in the US and so should be given citizenship.
Hell, let’s just all be friends and love everybody and let ‘em all in.
