Dana Perino, the Fox News co-cost and former spokeswoman for George W. Bush's White House, said that President Barack Obama's executive amnesty is well within the law.
She admitted on Thursday's The Five that though she "might be an outlier on this," she believed "Republicans are really boxed in" on Obama's amnesty.
"I don’t think that we’ll have the answer to the constitutional question for years," she said. "And at this point, I think the President has the prosecutorial discretion to do what he’s doing.”
Hours before Obama formally announced his executive amnesty, Perino said Republicans "cannot stop the President from doing this."

...sigh...I “used” to like Dana...
Will the Bush people ever, ever just go away??
Then what does she make of the 25 or so times Obama is on record saying he doesn’t have the authority to do what he just did?
Dana, you ignorant slut.
She’s on the Jeb bandwagon, what did you expect?
No its RINO nonsense. RINO is just polite name for dem-lite...
In addition to the cute sycophant Perino, it was hilarious watching tubby Karl Rove on Fox the other day trying to convince even Bill Oreally that Amnesty would be a great thing.
O’Really wasn’t biting. Said the border should be militarized.
Rove’s face was ashen. He couldn’t believe that not everyone agrees with his Patron’s view of mass illegal immigration. He was squealing so fast and high pitched, it was comical: Porky Pig tries to convince the Wolf not to eat him.
The Bushes are WASPs who failed. Their time came and went, they were never able to get anything going except through crony crap. Couldn’t do banks, couldn’t do oil...so they could do government. Pretend to be the Defenders of the Faith, when all they are is opportunists, and bad ones at that.
They decided to assimilate to the Mexican Borg a long time ago. Just get used to it and fit in...that’s their message.
Perino is just a puppet. Too much of a Good Girl to push back.
This is lunacy. If a President can use the sham of “prosecutorial discretion” to just disregard enforcing whatever laws he chooses as a matter of polilcy then how can anyone expect Congress to compromise on anything. They will know that whatever they receive in exchange for their concessions will not be enforced by the President so they get nothing back as a result of the “compromise.” Would Ms. Perinno agree that a President can use prosecutorial discretion to disregard the civil rights act?
What does Laura Ingaham say, she should know constitutional law having worked for SCOTUS.
No. They want another one in the WH next time around (if there is a next time around and the current resident vacates).
I saw her say this yesterday. She’s not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
—yes—maybe she should think about this—
There is a big difference between discretion in prosecution and cutting 5 million LPR cards.
She makes me sick with her sycophantic statism. I’ve stopped watching The Five on Fox mostly because of her. Her constant defense of Big Government and Bush hero worship is vomit-inducing.
Didn’t need proof she’s a moron, but her performance on Jeopardy was shamefully embarassing. I don’t know how she can show her face in public.
Guess: real blonde
She’s a spokeshole and from what I remember when I watched the show is that she swings center right to left. I looked at her schooling and I see neither a Constitutional law background or any law degree at all, so she is just speaking out of her anal sphincter.
