(CNSNews.com) - Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) took to Twitter Friday to attack President Obamas move to grant effective amnesty to young illegal immigrants:
He was among the first lawmakers to react to the surprise announcement.
President Obamas attempt to go around Congress and the American people is at best unwise and possibly illegal, he tweeted.
Graham, a former Air Force prosecutor, said the move, regardless of motivation, will entice people to break our laws.
While Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano insisted the program is not amnesty, other senior administration officials admitted that the program will stop illegal immigrants from being deported, even if a judge has already ordered it.
On the same Friday conference call in which Napolitano said the program was not amnesty, the senior administration official said that the program would eliminate some illegal immigrants from the universe of people subject to immigration enforcement.
In other words, the program would prevent some illegals from being deported effectively granting them amnesty.
In order to qualify for this effective amnesty, an illegal immigrant must have entered the U.S. when they were less than 16 years old, have lived here continually for at least five years, not have been convicted of a felony, serious misdemeanor, or multiple misdemeanors, be enrolled in or have graduated from a U.S. high school or have a GED, have served honorably in the military, and be less than 30 years old.
I have no doubt as I scribe this, he and his crack team of WH lawyers have already filled out his I-94 and provided the requisite accompanying paperwork.
Second to winning another 4 years that would be the next reason he did this (if not for him then for his illegal uncle and whoever else in his family is in the USA illegally).
The question of Obama's eligibility to be President because of possible issues concerning his citizenship is in the courts right now.
Should Obama recuse himself from making any decisions on immigration?
Where is Ron Paul, Rand and Jim?
Big, round ones....made of brass!
This man showed this country what a boy this pResident really is. He is a boy doing a man’s (woman’s) job. A petulant, effeminate, affectacious, womanized brat.
President Obamas attempt to go around Congress and the American people is at best unwise and possibly illegal, he tweeted.

“Tough” words (actually “tepid” at most) from Lindsey. Of course, as usual, Graham will be all words and NO ACTION.
I’d advice Lindsey to keep in touch with Richard Lugar. Graham may need to get some suggestions for post-Senate life after he’s voted out in the 2014 South Carolina primary by either Tim Scott or Nikki Haley (they should get together and “flip” to see who will have that honor—we don’t want to have the true-conservative vote split).
I wish a Conservative President will just give amnesty to all taxpayers via executive order. Everyone, no taxes forever
And come November he's gonna receive a bitch slappin.
Obama, hopefully, will only be around a few more months and then all his orders can be done away with.
I am so fed up with the damn rinos. Graham is an idiot. I am fed up with the republican party and their promises which are constantly broken and I am disgusted with the choice or lack of choice we have this presidential election.
Yesterday, Holder was asked to resign.
Today, Obama announces backdoor amnesty.
They’re so subtle.
Read ‘Throw Them All Out’ by Schweitzer and you will find out what this self serving congress is all about. Our government is the most sophisticated crime syndicate this world has ever known.
Possibly???????
Wake up and smell the Earl Gray Tea, Lindsey.
If douchebaggery ever needs a play-by-play announcer, I’ve got just the guy.
I’m convinced. Will check out the book:)
this is a way for berrie to get rid of the PARENTS of the young illegals. Think about it, the youngsters come forward and say that’ mommie brought me here when I was 5” he or she gets to stay and mommie gets deported.
Start saying that on the radio and let it get to the illegal population and they will not come forward and if they vote, they will vote againest berrie.
Maybe it really is a way to get them to come forward and let ICE get them and their families.
SPREAD THE RUMORS!!!!
Ya think???
... that this nation, underGodMe, shall have a newbirth of freedomtransformation and that government of thepeoplecriminals, by thepeoplecriminals, for thepeoplecriminals, shall not perish from the earth.
Bari Shabazz (aka Obama) should assign every illegal the same (stolen) CT social security number that Obama uses.
