Obama cant do that. He is just selectively enforcing the immigration law.

He is exceeding prosecutorial discretion. He is doing more than just selectively enforcing the law. He is legalizing the status of an entire class of lawbreakers, giving them work permits and social security, and allowing them to travel freely to and from this country.

There is a reason the ICE union issued a unnamimous vote of no confidence in the head of ICE, ICE's Mission Melt: Agents Vote 'No Confidence' in Leadership

On June 11, 2010, the National Immigration and Customs Enforcement Council and its constituent local representatives from around the nation, acting on behalf of approximately 7,000 ICE officers and employees from the ICE Office of Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO), cast a unanimous “Vote of No Confidence” in the Director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), John Morton, and the Assistant Director of the ICE Office of Detention Policy and Planning, (ODPP), Phyllis Coven.

Where you get the 3 million figure from?

Pew Hispanic Center estimated that 1.4 million aliens qualify for the amnesty. But those granted amnesty will then be able to sponsor parents, siblings, etc. once they reach 21. CIS and other knowledgeable immigration experts like NumbersUSA have put the figure around 3 million after all is said and done.

SCOTUS ruled that POTUS decides how to enforce laws, and Bush and Obama did.

Please cite the SCOTUS decision.

What I thought, I figured you just made that up. We were talking about those who signed up for Obama’s made up dreamer program which I assume is not many since they know any POTUS can deport them at any time for any reason so applying is a risk,

You jumped to hypothetical about a amnesty bill different subject.

Dont they use those taxpayer IDs to pay taxes??, not SS #s?

Now that you mention SS, Obama’s idea has some merits.

They come out of shadows and ID themselves, they work and pay SS taxes (To) our parents and since they have zero rights to be here we can boot them out before they retire so they get nothing, a great way to fix entitlements. Just got to cut out those food stamps.
