Calling it "an irresponsible overreach of the executive branchs authority.," Senator Charles Grassley, ranking Republican on the Judiciary Committee, is criticizing an executive order issued by the president that would allow at least 100,000 Haitian nationals into the United States to be "reunited with their families."
A similar program that reunited Central American children with their parents had a fraud rate of about 70%.
The rebuilding and development of a safe and economically strong Haiti is a priority for the United States. The Haitian Family Reunification Parole program promotes a fundamental underlying goal of our immigration system family reunification, said Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas. It also supports broader U.S. goals for Haitis reconstruction and development by providing the opportunity for certain eligible Haitians to safely and legally immigrate sooner to the United States.
Roughly 100,000 Haitians already approved to come to the U.S. are currently awaiting visas, The Associated Press reported.
Mr. Grassley, whose Senate committee has jurisdiction over immigration policy, predicted the number of Haitians who would come to the U.S. under the program would likely exceed that estimate, calling it likely just the beginning of the presidents unilateral and executive actions on immigration.
Parole is meant for humanitarian assistance on a case-by-case basis, he said. The presidents continued push to circumvent Congressional authority and ignore the rule of law sets a bad precedent for the future.

Why isn’t this an impeachable offense?
This is news?
Feckless GOP hiding for fear of doing thier job to protect us, they are to busy grooming jeb and other a##kissers for another loss in 2016
SCREWED AGAIN!
Been asked a zillion times here lately, but if we had a stealth pure anti-american president, exactly how different would he govern than obama?
It probably is, as are the 50 or so underhanded tricks he’s pulled before this. Problem is, no one so far has the ballz to take it on.
90% of them will never go home, and the Rats know it.
They are Dreamers.
In a few years, they will be Voters.
And they will bring in their extended families. And So On.
And So On. And So On.
How’s that “fundamental transformation” going?
Insanity.
We must never forget Obama was a community activist
and believes in Cloward / Piven and he’s applying
it nation wide. I believe he’s overloading the system deliberately.
We must watch out and protect our Constitution from
his dictatorship, you know it’s coming.
It’s what community activists do, take over the
system.
Obama versus America
Again.
It probably is, but there are two factors, maybe more. Pigment protection and the gutless old party does not have the stones to do it.
It is. We're told to just keep voting.
I don't envision the rat party ever allowing such powers to fall into the hands of a non-rat.
Disgusting! See tag line!!
continued push to circumvent Congressional authority and ignore the rule of law sets a bad precedent for the futureROTFL. "Sets a bad precedent." He's complaining because it's Congress's job to react to a lawbreaking president, and the LAST thing Congress wants to do, is its job.
Plus, laws are for the little people, and we don't want the little people figuring that out.
100,000 new welfare recipients and Rat voters.
That's only if you consider a communist dictatorship a bad thing... Hey, look! TMZ is on!
Obama needs more deadbeats to trash Health/Welfare programs
The destruction of America continues under 0bama and his regime.
This P.O.S. will destroy America and he is well on his way.
The average working family can ill afford the weekly food bill and this Monster wants to waste more Money to satisfy His Racist drives.
God help us all.
Maybe he believes in Cloward-Piven. Maybe he wants to justify ever-more expanded government budgets. If it weren't for the stimulus and the Continuing Resolution policies, he wouldn't have been able to expand spending the way he has. Perhaps he wants to create more permanent demand for government services.
