How about Obama's DACA EO giving out work permits? Seems to me that goes beyond "not enforcing the law," and there was no real opposition to his doing so. Giving out citizenship would be a much more serious matter, but I believe he has already gone beyond his legal authority.
But lets imagine that Obama can just make anyone he wants a US voting citizen at his whim. If that was the case then why should we waste time and effort opposing the amnesty bill? In fact why would Dems put so much effort into passing an amnesty bill if Obama can make them legal voters?
"I tried to convince Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform but they refused, so...."
No, I say Rubio/Obama are bluffing and that we not give in to them.
Not sure whether he would give out citizenship, but I agree, giving in would be foolish.
If Obama could and would give out US citizenship then Rubio in the above post would be right. We would be better off with the Senate bill than him doing that.
Obama will grant US citizenship by exec order and get away with it when he signs that full repeal of Obama-care, which is never.
I see no point in playing the game ‘Lets just assume that Obama is King of the US and we are all his subjects” because its a dead end.
