FULL TITLE: "Obama Is Preparing To Make One Of The Boldest Moves Of His Presidency — And It Could Stretch The Scope Of Executive Power"

By the end of the summer, President Barack Obama will make what some activists and legal experts say could be the "boldest move" of his presidency as he prepares to move without Congress on immigration reform.

The coming executive actions to change immigration policy could become the defining moment in a second term marred by congressional gridlock. A mid fierce debate over the crisis along the U.S.-Mexico border they also could set up a potential political firestorm

Nothing was done in response to DACA. In fact, Reps approved the backdoor amnesty. They just didn’t like how he did it, which is why Cantor was working on his own version of a DACA called the “Kids Act.” No doubt this was seen as a green light by the WH. When you reward something, you get more of it.

I guess Al Capone was a bold mover, too.

I don’t see as many obam lovers here where I live, even though we have a very diverse population - but when I do see a sticker I just shake my head at their stupidity

Don’t threaten impeachment, begin a hard campaign to reach out to minorities, unemployed, middle class taxpayers, disaffected democrats.. Convert five people to the tea party for every immigrant he gives amnesty to.

IMHO, there should be lots of TV ads showing Sheila Jackson Lee making her comment — again and again — against a background that shows hordes of non-child “immigrants” overwhelming our border. Just pay her an appearance fee.

IMHO, all Americans should be offended by Obama’s belief that “INVASION is how we REALLY “change” America!”

The guy's just begging for Republican threats of impeachment and he'll raise the ante just before the elections. He knows it will generate huge campaign donations and get his base out to the polls to likely prevent a Republican Senate win.

Republicans should stop all talk of impeachment until they control the Senate. After that they should impeach and convict him.

And if the House doesn’t impeach him for doing that, then in one fell swoop, Obama renders both the Republican party and the U.S. Congress irrelevant forever, thereby establishing his cherished fascist dictatorship for all Presidents to come, presumably Democrat Presidents if enough impoverished border invaders are settled in key red states such as Texas.

My view of this is “Let him do it.” and then sit back and watch the Labor Unions and the Blacks go apeshit against the Democratic party, because really they are the ones who get hurt the most by 10 million freshly legalized unskilled workers.

Truth be told, if we had ANY semblance of an opposition party, those types of ads would be running 24/7, across the land. The Dim seats should be EASY pickin’s...in normal land.

The few (small) groups who try to run these ads a.) can’t afford a large market, and b.) get turned down by many stations.

Whaddya do?

DACA just gives them work permits which are temporary and have to be renewed.

560,000 have been approved so far for DACA with an estimated 1.8 million eligible. They have been given work permits, SSNs, and the ability to travel in and out of the country. Many states are giving DACA recipients driver's licenses and in-state tuition. You can be up to the age of 30 to receive DACA. Moreover, the illegal parents of DACA recipients will not be deported. The approval rate for DACA recipients is 99.5%.

Does anyone believe that the DACA recipients will ever be deported? This is de facto amnesty. There is no political will to reverse it. Renewal is virtually automatic.

The silver lining is this will get people off their couches and into the streets for protests and into the voting booth.

One would hope so, but I have my doubts. The MSM, Dems, and GOPe support amnesty. They will mildly object to the means, but they agree with the ends. George Will and Charles Krauthammer commented that although they agree with the legalization of the 12 million illegal aliens, Obama should not do it that way. They blame the Tea Party for being unreasonable when it comes to comprehensive immigration reform. They see it as inevitable. So how many people will be in the streets objecting to what is a constitutional crisis? I fear not many.

At times like this, I wish I knew how to post a short “facebook” video with the political “ad” I just described.

Who knows? It might “go viral....”

The leadership of the unions and minority groups support amnesty, i.e., allowing the lawbreakers to stay and work here. We bring in 1.1 million LEGAL IMMIGRANTS A YEAR, mostly poor and uneducated. There is no call from these groups to reduce legal immigration despite the fact that minorities are hurt the worst by it.

Hey, it’s just a “bold move,” according to the press.
