* Obama made the remarks during an interview with This Week host George Stephanopolous that was broadcast Sunday

* 'It is a stunning and sad display of a president declining to honor his constitutional obligation,' GOP Sen. Ted Cruz said in response

* He also wouldn't endorse Hillary Clinton for president but said she'd be 'a great president' and gave her his blessing to depart from his positions
* Americans 'want that new car smell,' he said. 'They want to drive something off the lot that doesn't have as much mileage as me'
President Barack Obama brushed off complaints levied by the GOP that his immigration actions are illegal in an ABC News interview that aired today, saying that the U.S. has 'limited resources' and it only makes sense for the government to prioritize the removal of 'felons, criminals and recent arrivals' over longtime residents and families.
'Everybody knows, including Republicans, that we're not going to deport 11 million people,' Obama told George Stephanopolous during a Friday interview for his Sunday morning program This Week.
'The reason that we have to do prosecutorial discretion in immigration is that we know that we are not even close to being able to deal with the folks who have been here a long time,' he said.

Enforce the law and they’ll go home. No jobs, no prospects, no welfare = no reason to come here or be here.

OTOH: It wouldn’t be hard to make them want to leave on their own. No jobs. No freebies. No welfare. Come on Barry. This isn’t rocket science. You’re supposed have some kind of college diploma. You should be able to figure it out.

No, I don't know that. Put a bounty on them and you can get them to self-deport.

I said from the outset, if Obama and the govt. say 5 million then the numbers are likely 2, 3 and 4 times that number.............

Obama’s EO will produce 20-25 million legal illegals. Nobady will take this quasi lewgal status from Obama’s illegals.

Adopt Mexico's immigration laws. They are pretty harsh on illegal immigrants.

‘Everybody knows, including Republicans, that we’re not going to deport 11 million people,’
Actually, it is entirely possible to do.

A savvy politician should INSIST on that as part of comprehension immigration reform.
