Mr. Obama, Your Move By THE EDITORIAL BOARDAUG. 9, 2014
Sometime in late summer, if predictions are right, President Obama will use his executive authority to protect many unauthorized immigrants from deportation.
We dont know the details. Mr. Obama and the Department of Homeland Security have not yet supplied the who, what, when or even, officially, whether. But Mr. Obama has promised to respond to Congresss refusal to act on immigration reform. And the most obvious thing is to lift the threat of deportation from immigrants who should be the lowest priority for removal: those with citizen children, jobs, clean records and strong community ties. Some reports put the size of that group at four million to five million.
The mere possibility of Mr. Obamas protecting any of the 11 million immigrants living here outside the law is already making Republicans clutch at their chests and cry out: Oh, the legality! He has done nothing yet, but right-wingers have pre-emptively declared him Caesar, crossing a Rubicon into lawlessness.
In truth, Mr. Obama is well within his authority to madden the right. His power to conduct immigration policy is vast. Congress has given the president broad flexibility and discretion to enforce immigration law. It has also given him the resources to deport about 350,000 to 400,000 people a year, as Mr. Obama has done, relentlessly. It could have given him billions more to deport everyone, but it has not.
For Mr. Obama to use the tools at hand to focus on high-priority targets felons, violent criminals, public-safety and national-security threats and to let many others alone would be a rational and entirely lawful exercise of discretion. It is the kind of thing prosecutors, police and other law-enforcement and regulatory agencies do every day.

And I invite the people at the NYT to take these illegal aliens into their homes and care for then and spend their money on them. If not they can KMA.............
I will always remember the time I stepped onto an elevator in the lobby there one very rainy day. I casually mentioned to a lady next to me how nasty it was outside. Doofus NYT editorial writer who was also on elevator says to me "Well I write opinions for a living and even I won't argue that." He couldn't resist pointing out how important he thought he and his opinions were. What a pompous POS. They all were.
Immigration reform is enforcing the immigration laws on the books.
IMHO
What if a Republican's President and Congress is dragging it's feet on closing all Abortion Clinics. Will the effing New York Times encourage him to act on his own?
The Slimes needs to replaced expensive illiterates with cheap illiterates.
Is it not a paper-type product used for lining the bottom of bird cages?
Of course, if one did use it for this purpose, then one day you would wake up with Fidel Parrot...
A flat out lie.
The Obama Administration counts illegals turned away at the border as “deportees.”
No president before Obama counted them.
The number of illegals being deported from the American “interior” has declined about 75% compared to Bush.
In 2009, at the depth of the Great Recession, Slim loaned the Times $250 million, which was literally on the edge of bankruptcy in that time period.
I read the FR edit version: according to the Democrats, a gaggle of Republicans and the NYT, “immigrants who should be the lowest priority for removal: those with citizen children, jobs, clean records and strong community ties.”
Like DACA, you give free lawyers a finger-hold and they’ll argue that a man in his late thirties, out on parole for a gang murder in his teens, and the crime was expunged, blah blah blah, so Hayseuss should be seen as having “strong community ties.”
No? Who would have thought “children” (`31 and younger’) could get a gold ticket from Uncle Wonka if they simply recite what they were taught before leaving home, and then have their free interpreter tell their free lawyer to say:
“My client was in fear of his life from gangs.”
Even though “fear of bad local boys” has never been a ground for asylum, particularly if the “affiant” may very well have been a gang member himself.
Did you see that 40,000 UACs (unaccompanied alien children) recently transformed themselves into UIs: undocumented immigrants, by ankling it out of their safe homes, sneaking away, or after having been picked up out front by car, or maybe by hopping another freight?
Anyway, so much for Obama’s and Jeh’s charade.
But now that we apparently have a semi-official, pre-paid Legal Services Plan criminal law benefits for our uninvited foreign guests, maybe Democrats should, like a spurned suitor, perhaps spend less time talking and more time listening.
Heh.
Like that’s gonna happen. They’re going down.
Do it Barry. Pull the trigger. Be a man!
If they could dig up joe stalin and run him as a democrat the new york times would support him.
No even the NYT calls him Mr. President.
Do it Mr Ebola Kenya. Please Do it. Then we get regime change and a whole new form of truly free constitutional republican government, driving you communists into dirt and jail time.
Nobody will vote for you dirtbags except your fellow muslim criminals.
