WASHINGTON — President Obama will speak to the nation in a prime-time address on Thursday, asserting his authority to provide legal status for up to five million undocumented immigrants, the White House said, and setting in motion an immediate confrontation with Republicans about the limits of a president’s executive powers.
In a video posted on the White House website Wednesday afternoon, Mr. Obama said that he would deliver the 8 p.m. speech from the White House to announce “steps that I can take to start fixing our broken immigration system.”
“Everybody agrees that our immigration system is broken,” Mr. Obama said in the video. “Unfortunately, Washington has allowed the problem to fester for too long. What I’m going to be laying out is things that I can do with my lawful authority as president to make the system work better even as I continue to work with Congress and encourage them to get a bipartisan, comprehensive bill that can solve the entire problem.”

America! The BIG Pinata/Refugee Camp!
You’re not American if this doesn’t make your blood boil.
IMPEACH!
IMPEACH
Can’t wait for President Cruz to abolish the EPA. And NPR. And corporate taxes.
My preference would be that he be held incommunicado at the Naval brig in DC until his term expires so that (under the 25th Amendment) Biden becomes acting President, with the explicit understanding that he will join Obama if he does not immediately abandon shamnesty and curb the Fed gov's persecution of its political opponents in the IRS and other agencies.
Welcome to 0bamarica!
Republicans will roll over ad do nothing.
He can "assert" the authority all he wants, but unless he can tell us which Section within Article II of the United States Constitution grants him that authority, following through on it will be an impeachable offense.
PS - He CANNOT tell us which Section within Article II of the United States Constitution grants him that authority because no part of the Constitution does so.
Blah! Blah! Barf! Barf!...
and
Impeach the Rat Bastard...!
How does amnesty fixed the broken immigration policy like our pourous borders? Do tell?
Unfortunately, I have a scheduled belly button lent removal appointment so will miss his speech.
Dear Bozo Zerohissef:
We DO agree the immigration system is broken. Its broken because YOU refuse to enforce the laws we have and to deport these people like you should have done.
So FU!
All you poorly edumacated folks out there who voted for this narcissist fool have just been thrown to the wolves
Keeping them wages depressed and your dependance on big gub mint secured.
