If an illegal cannot legally be employed to pick produce or work on an assembly line why should an illegal be allowed to practice law?
Illegals are not legally employable - This is the logic of not spending taxpayers' money to send illegals to college that liberals cannot seem to grasp.
There is no lower limit to the standards pushed upon us by the MSM.
I guess that this “brilliant” student never had the time or inclination to go through our legal process and become naturalized, eh?
Given that, we have neither the time nor the inclination to give a big fat smelly Obama about his law practice.
Shove it....shove it deep, shove it often.
Not surprising. In 08 Roger Calero, a previously deported now resident alien was on ballots in several states as a socialist party candidate for president.
That’s what I say. It wasn’t that he’s being prevented from becoming an American citizen and then go to school. He should have been going through the process and then go to school.
He ought to be allowed to practice international law under Leon.
The pardon power given the President by the Constitution is not limited by any check or balance by Congress or the Courts.
Is there any particular reason the President cannot use this power to amnesty illegal aliens as he chooses?
Just wondering.
Like we need another lawyer in this country!
He could pardon their crime of illegal entry, he can not issue legal status.
As I understand it, he has the constitutional authority to extend amnesty to someone for a conviction or criminal act (actual or potential).
But a president does not have the power to bestow citizenship at will.
Well the kid has been a thief his whole life and wants to stay in the profession. Send his ass back where he and his parents came from.
True enough.
However, I’m curious whether the President could pardon aliens from the penalties associated with their status, giving them in practice the equivalent of a green card.
He certainly can pardon them from any criminal penalties. I’m not sure whether he can do so with civil penalties.
I’m most struck by the fact that his reportedly highly educated parents came to this country, and never bothered to learn English. Sixteen years, and not a moment to spare, I guess...
He can pardon them but he cannot give citizenship.
The President can, of course, just refuse to enforce the law against illegal aliens, which is essentially what he and previous presidents have been doing for decades.
Congress has limited ways of forcing him to enforce a law if he doesn’t want to.
Yes, lawless presidents, including Bush, have been doing that.
The Obama administration is now engaged in a massive back door amnesty, whereby over 300,000 cases are being reviewed with most being closed and the recipients receiving work permits if they are not considered to be "criminal aliens." It is allegedly being done on a case by case basis, but the effect is a large scale, rolling amnesty for some who have even been order deported. ICE is using the criteria in the Dream Act to review the cases.
