Yes, there is the Obama lens which sees this as an issue about "Immigration". And he's hoping republicans choose that lens so he can now falsely declare that this is a Republican War Against Latinos.
Then there's the Conservative lens that sees this as an unconstitutional power-grab. The issue: US Constitution
It’s wrong on both counts, and any conservative worth their salt knows it.
We shouldn’t arbitrarily be legalizing potentially millions of illegals under any circumstances, and it’s also wrong to bypass the Constitution, our laws, and Congress to do so. The fact that it’s a naked play for votes, makes it even more despicable.
This isn’t an either/or thing. It’s wrong every way you look at it.
