Since 2009, the Obama administration issued roughly 5.5 million work permits to non-citizens beyond what Congress has authorized, according to recently-released documents that critics of U.S. policy say reveals a "shadow" or "parallel" immigration system stifling wages and taking jobs from Americans.
The information was obtained by the conservative-leaning Center for Immigration Studies through a Freedom of Information Act request and has prompted Alabama GOP Sen. Jeff Sessions to call for an investigation.
"This request has unearthed the operation of a shadow immigration system previously unknown to the American public," said Sessions, one of Capitol Hill's most outspoken critics of President Obama's immigration policy. "A full investigation is warranted."
Congress authorized an estimated 5 million green cards and 3.5 million guest worker permits during the 2009-2014 period, in additional to the 5.5 million issued additionally by administration action, a Senate staffer said Wednesday.
Jessica Vaughn, the study author and the center's director of policy studies, argues the administration has discovered the power to issue work permits outside the limits set by Congress and that it has become "the vehicle" for Obama’s executive actions -- in which he has offered deferred deportation to millions of people now in the country illegally.

Braking The Law , The Only Thing The Obama Administration Does Best
Obama is completely corrupt and afoul our Constitution, but the GOP are too weak and scared to do their Constitutional duty, because they’re shy the 67 votes needed to impeach the SOB and he knows it.
He’s a tyrant.
Is there any evidence that they are all screened for medical issues? Does anyone know the answer to this?
What’s the problem...a king can do whatever he wants and the servants have to fall in line...
He's already made his motives clear to all willing to see.
Those not speaking out, Jeb, are complicit, Mitch.
One of the first things Congress must do with a new president in office is to repeal the fraudulent Motor Voter registration and require photo ID for all federal elections. Of course that may be asking too much is Boehner and McConnell are still there and impossible if Jeb gets to the WH.
The true meaning of the phrase “Transforming America.” We will be a Third World sewer.
The lawless _resident rewarding lawlessness again by circumventing immigration law, another impeachable offense in my view.
Destroy America is “The Agenda”
The Pew Hispanic Center, a research group that studies issues, attitudes and trends among the Hispanic population, estimated in 2006 that almost half of the 10.8 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. came here with visas and stayed after they expired.
Those work permits are all counterfeit. Those who hand them out should be jailed. Those who use them should be deported.
They don’t even need to overstay. I’ve known many people who violate the terms of their tourist visa by working (typically cash only) but still flying out of the US for a few days before their visa expiration and then flying back in with a renewed visa.
Proving he hates the Americans who worked hard to build up this country.
Yup. I believe Alinksy said: “The issue is never the issue. The issue is always the revolution.”
Politicians raise all kinds of topics and express outrage at all kinds of things, but it’s all a smokescreen. The only thing on their mind is revolution and the destruction that comes with revolution. I think they want a new feudal age so they their families can be declared a new nobility. In order to achieve that, they need to destroy everything the Founders gave us.
At its heart, this is all a cruel joke played by Satan.
These will be voters. 2016 is beginning to look way far away from being a Republican. The communists Democrats have take control of America and it looks bad.
It is the first step...community organizing. Next he and his minions will agitate the poor little deserving sub-citizens with grievances and demand citizenship. The perfect “us and them” scenario.
Shadow agencies and programs. Exactly the National Socialist (nazi) playbook how herr Hitler implemented his dictatorship. Just leave the duly- constituted agencies alone and ram your “transformations” through new agencies and programs you set up to be loyal only to you and what you want. Meanwhile, the Sheeple still think they have “ their government “ because, after all, the agencies snd programs they ( or their authorized representatives) voted for are “ still there”. (Just irrelevant)
It’s pathetic that 13 patriotic Senators cannot be found outside the GOP to impeach this tyrant in the White House.
They’re unAmerican.
