He will make his case to the public in a speech Thursday.

Obama met with members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus on Tuesday and discussed a strategy for passing a bill that had seemed dead for the year.

In a speech at American University, he plans to make the case for providing a path to legal status for the estimated 11 million people who live in the U.S. illegally

If they vote for this in a lame duck they had better be ready to live out the rest of their lives in hiding because it will not be safe anywhere for them!

"the case for providing a path to legal status for the estimated 11 million people who live in the U.S. illegally"

scumbag pols!!!! socialist Demagoguery.....

here is the ONLY 'case' that ever need be made: we and all the 'illegals' follow the LAW starting yesterday! If you are here illegally, you return promptly to wherever it is that you hail from...... if you want to then apply to follow LEGAL procedures like anyone else you may do so.... there is NO reasonable or moral basis for providing ANY kind of "path to legal status" for people who are in this country illegally. Period. Simple. What is there to lie, cheat, and temporize over now?

If they do that, they would hear from the American people like never before. Who knows what might happen.

One if by land two if by sea the Teapartiers will be coming from everywhere and it isn't torches and pitchforks in their hands....I don't think there would be one liberal politican exempt from being held responsible for destruction of this Nation.

Obama renews immigration push... He will make his case to the public in a speech Thursday.

Actually, this is more of an admission that Cap n' Tax is dead for the year. The conventional wisdom was that there might be time for either immigration or Cap n' Tax this year,(I don't think there is time for either personally, Congress has to much unfinished business and is in recess the entire month of August.)

The administration made the decision back in May to pursue Cap n' Tax. With Grahmnesty abandoning the effort and Byrd passing away (he was a yes vote, that the anti Cap n' Tax WV Governor will almost certainly replace with a no vote). The chances for Cap n' Tax just went from slim to none, hence the quick switcharoo to Amnesty in an attempt to accomplish something before the election season that will get the liberal base fired up.

If (God forbid) that did happen, our side would NOT be the ones doing it.

It would be a setup.

And no one in the enemedia would question a thing. They’d go right along with the blame The conservatives game.

He can give relief (pardon or delayed enforcement) to the illegals who have broken a law by violating the terms of their visas which amounts to almost 50% of illegals. The Hispanic border jumpers cannot be pardoned.

The "path to citizenship" euphemism just mutated.

At 7:45 a.m. PST tomorrow Obama might declare some type of amnesty.

KFI Los Angeles just reported this as growing rumor....

It would be interesting to know what % of illegals vote now.
IMHO the number is pretty high already in blue states.

No one who is on our side is dumb enough to do this. But it does not prevent us from asking God for a well timed tree limb to fall or lighting strike to hit. I would be sorry for his kids. But geezy peezy enough is enough. He thinks he is the king of the freeking world.

He’s not going to be able to do this. Executive orders cannot be used in this manner.

I think this is more political, hoping to get the race baiters worked up so they vote in Novemember.

That said, I hope he tries it. He must be hoping for the Dem losses this fall to be......*wait for it*....

HISTORIC !!!

Here’s what I see happening. Obama is the Marxists’ attempt to take over the country. 40 years of planning has culminated in this Gambit. While we may have elections in November, there will be massive, obvious vote fraud. The Democrats, RINOs and the MSM have exposed themselves as criminals. They can’t allow the Marxists to fail in November because they will never, ever have this opportunity again. The People know that there is a criminal cabal attempting to take over the country.and will reject it. The Dims willsteal the 2010 elections, and that will be the last election in the US. They’ve exposed themselves. There will be a revolt. Whether or not the military steps in, who knows.

Doesn`t a pardon apply to individuals only and how does forgiving their criminal entry into the US give them automatic citizenship? If the rats tried that we`d crush them in November, after wards we could not only easily override any veto's but also make it a felony to be an “undocumented person” and a felony to hire one. After we start impeachment proceedings, we can also begin a thorough investigation of the entire rat infested bureaucracy.
