White House: We Don’t Have The Authority To Pardon DREAMers

Yeah, know why????

Because our (so called) President does NOT have the power to pardon FOREIGNERS who commit crimes...regardless if they are in our country.

Sure he can. Presidential pardon power is specifically ...and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment. If the foreigner is breaking our laws, and is going through our justice system, then yes, he would have the power to grant a reprieve or pardon. But say for a US citizen that breaks another country's laws, he wouldn't have the power to do that.
