In a way, I actually hope Obama DOES Executive-Order the amnesty.
That way, the history of this country will observe that it was THIS MAN who destroyed the United States of America.
There is little hope but to put off the fall until we are dead and buried; but perhaps history will show future nations how unwise it is to elect your sworn enemy as your President.
This is indeed a historical first.
I think this was known thousands of years ago:
A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.
― Marcus Tullius Cicero

Having no legal authority to do so would mean that there's a door open for counter-attack, the question is whether or not Congress will have the guts to seize it — especially since it would have interesting consequences.
