GOP Presses Obama on 'Amnesty Memo'

Sen. David Vitter, R-La., on Sunday told Fox News he and his colleagues are trying to determine whether the administration has seriously considered mass legalization for illegal immigrants based on a newly discovered memo outlining ways to grant legalization without going through Congress.

The draft memo, first obtained by Iowa Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley's office from the U.S. Customs & Immigration Services, outlines ways the administration was exploring to legalize swaths of illegal immigrants "in the absence of Comprehensive Immigration Reform," according to Fox News.

"Then this 11-page memo has gotten out, and it's not alleged anymore," Vitter told Fox News. "It's right there in black and white. So, again, we're reiterating our strong concerns, and still no answer."

This so reminds me of the Miguel Estrada documents.

We blame the Republicans for catching us.

Now didn’t Barack just have his DOJ go to court because only Congress can enforce immigration laws?

I hadn’t seen it but as you say it is worth a repost

I think we can count on GOP senators like Grassely to keep at this.,

I know gibbs answer would be that he hadn’t seen it so he couldn’t comment on it.
Plausable denialbility

Gibbs was asked how the Az law differed from what RI does and what the 287g program does and he said he’d get back to them. That was 3 weeks ago

If members of the House and Senate let this impostor run the country with Executive Orders, they should be shut down...made to go home and give up their paychecks...they are irrelevant.

Is anyone surprised, really! We can expect nothing less than deviant, despicable antics when it comes to anything from these criminals. They need these votes and they need it quick
