Treason comes naturally to Barack Hussein.

This seems entirely plausible.

They're morons and have NO idea what they are asking.

But then, there are, sadly, posters on this site, who believe that nothing should happen to them either. :-(

More than 60 Democratic members of Congress...

...need to be removed from office for being complete idiots and for not upholding their Oath of Office.

It doesn’t matter if Barack Hussein pardons those illegals for all crimes committed prior to January 20, 2017. As long as they continue engaging in the crime of illegal presence in America, President Trump can deport them as they deserve.

The Dems need voters once there will be voter ID’s and they can no longer count on cheating.

All Obama needs to do is issue 750,000 Hawaiian Birth Certificates for the Dreamers.

“Pardon foreigners?”

Being pardoned by a president is not limited to citizens.

Obama cannot do this with any legal significance.

He can pardon them for the CRIMES of illegal border crossing, overstaying a visa, etc, but tomorrow morning, they are still here illegally, and subject to deportation.

The Dems in Congress know that. This is simply a political publicity stunt to try to convince the illegals “Dems feel your pain.”

The interesting thing is that with Medicaid, Illegals get better medical care than our combat-injured vets.

Exactly, you cannot be pardoned for future crimes.

However, I could image a court ruling that the violation of the immigration law occurs at the moment of the border crossing and then the crime ends once the border is crossed.

If that was the case, one could be pardoned for a illegal border crossing that occurred in the past.

I hope earlier stories on this are true and that he can NOT do this.

Trump also needs to revoke the commutations given to drug dealers and put them back in prison.

I really don’t see the benefit in having the US government do the dirty work that makes narco-cartels profitable.

“Drug dealing” is a political crime. Pharmacists do the same exact thing but they have a piece of paper from the government saying it’s OK. Morally, there is zero difference.

When Democrats can get legal voters, they import illegal ones.

It does not matter if he pardons them or not.

Their presence here is not in our interest, and the pardon power cannot confer legal status.

They have to go back.

Dems, call them what they are (illegal aliens), before we can even begin to “negotiate”.

That was my thought. How can the President pardon a non-citizen?
