When President Obama issues executive orders on immigration in coming weeks, pro-reform activists are expecting something dramatic: temporary relief from deportation and work authorization for perhaps several million undocumented immigrants. If the activists are right, the sweeping move would upend a contentious policy fight and carry broad political consequences.

The activists met privately with the President and his aides June 30 at the White House, and say in that meeting Obama suggested he will act before the November midterm elections. They hope his decision will offer relief to a significant percentage of the estimated 11.7 million estimated undocumented immigrants in the U.S. “He seems resolute that he’s going to go big and go soon,” says Frank Sharry, executive director of the pro-reform group America’s Voice.

Exactly what Obama plans to do is a closely held secret. But following the meeting with the activists, Obama declared his intention to use his executive authority to reform parts of a broken immigration system that has cleaved families and hobbled the economy. After being informed by Speaker John Boehner that the Republican-controlled House would not vote on a comprehensive overhaul of U.S. immigration law this year, the President announced in a fiery speech that he was preparing “to do what Congress refuses to do, and fix as much of our immigration system as we can.”

It's the allegorical Jerusalem's (America's) version of

In tandem with

And when ye shall see Jerusalem (America) compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.

"Don’t forget to thank all the voters who sat out because neither McCain or Romney were “conservative” enough."

And it's likely to happen again.

No. More. RINOs.

He’s pulling a Hugo Chavez move. The House needs to issue a warrant for his arrest.


The House seems to be complicit...in on the jig.

I hope you like it when your socialist GOPe buddies confiscate your weapons. Just ask gun owners in Taxachusetts how wonderful the Fabian Socialist, son of an Alinskyite, Mitt Romney was. He had no problems with gun bans, unless he was campaigning for office. Then he magically became a lifelong member of the NRA.

But then I doubt you care. Better to pretend the lying, backstabbing GOPe is your friend than have to admit what your lying eyes are telling you.

The number of people waking up to the truth about the republican party grows every day. The more those democrats with Rs next to their names do to win, the more obvious it becomes; they would rather lose to a democrat than see a conservative win. They are not our friends.

Those who smugly believed they were above voting for the “lesser of two evils” brought us the “greater of the two evils”.

These are the people with blood on their hands. Yeah, let's leave the most destructive anti-American pres ever in office.

Great IDEA!!! What fun every day!!!!
