I thought I read that an executive order could be overturned by subsequent administrations.

If true, this could cause future chaos.

As mentioned in related threads, the Supreme Court clarified in Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer that executive orders do not have the force of law unless they have the legislative support of Congress.
Executive order

And since Congress is divided, if you call Democrats versus RINOs divided, Obama can make paper airplanes out of many of his executive orders.

But more importantly, Thomas Jefferson had noted, in terms of the 10th Amedment nonetheless, that the states have never delegated to Congress via the Constitution the specific power to regulate immigration.

"4. _Resolved_, That alien friends are under the jurisdiction and protection of the laws of the State wherein they are: that no power over them has been delegated to the United States, nor prohibited to the individual States, distinct from their power over citizens. And it being true as a general principle, and one of the amendments to the Constitution having also declared, that "the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people (emphasis added)," the act of the Congress of the United States, passed on the -- day of July, 1798, intituled "An Act concerning aliens," which assumes powers over alien friends, not delegated by the Constitution, is not law, but is altogether void, and of no force." --Thomas Jefferson, Draft of the Kentucky Resolutions - October 1798.

So not only does Obama not have strong support from Congress to make valid, immigration-related executive orders, but Congress doesn't have the constitutional authority to make immigration-related legislation in the first place, immigration a 10A-protected state power issue.

What these Democrat lawmakers are saying is thet we have no need for them. Obama makes the laws.

If he is right why do we need them. Lets just do away with Congress and make Obama King.

That appears to be what the Democrats want.

The biggest culprits in all of this are not in the administration. The administration is full of ideological idiots with huge egos and an agenda. That is clear. The biggest culprits are the American people who voted for them - the coalition of the uninformed, the envious, those who think it’s justified to live off the efforts of others, and those who way overestimate their own intellect. There’s much, much more to say, but that’s the essence of it.

Remember, it would have never gotten to this point but for the Republican establishment - Bush, Rove, McCain, Graham, the Wall Street Journal, the Chamber of Commerce, etc. - starting the amnesty kick in 2006, rather than enforcing the more than adequate laws on the books.

I predicted this last June....

If Obama was re-elected, Amnesty would be absolutely certain.

The magic words are “Executive Order” and “Deferred Enforcement.”

Obama is currently doing it in small pieces.

The DREAM Act will legalize at least 1 million.

Family Unification will legalize at least 1 million more.

Essentially, all the federal immigration laws remain the same, but they will not be enforced for a set period of time until certain issues can be legislated or clarified by the courts.

That's how the DREAM Act works - two years of no enforcement for illegals brought here as children, but not now older than 30.

And there's more.....

All the DREAM Act “kids” are immediately eligible for Social Security numbers and “Green Cards.”

A “Green Card” essentially confers all legal rights to the recipient except the right to vote.

Jobs, welfare, passport, almost everything comes with a Green Card.

Once they have Green Cards, there is ZERO possibility that any legislation will EVER be passed that would take their Green Cards away and deport them back to their home country.

If Obama can't get Amnesty by legislation, he will decree it by Executive Order!

Next stop after Green Cards?

Citizenship!

By the way, 80% of new citizens vote for the Democrat Party.

In terms of political power, Conservatives are toast, probably in 2014, certainly in 2016.

“Obama doesn’t need Congress for immigration reform.”

Niether did Mr. Stalin, Mr. Lenin, Pol Pot, and that
blast from the past, Mr. Hitler.

They did whatever the he&& they wanted.

IMHO
