Chances are he will not have the guts to do that and will instead just have immigration dept review the cases and keep most of them the same (Green cards)

I’m not convinced he needs to pull a gutsy move here. As I understand it, these green cards are temporary. When they expire, I’d let them expire. End of story...

There was no legal basis for Obama doing what he has done. I would make that very clear, when asked why I wasn’t extending the green cards. “Because it was an illegal act in the first place.” Any further questions?

I didn’t think so...

End of story...There was no legal basis for Obama's EO---other than sucking up for votes. If a President Romney is asked why he wasn’t extending the green cards, his answer should be, 'Because it was an illegal act in the first place.'"

Nice insight, DO. Although I would betcha the new green card owners used one of their multiple identities and stolen SS nos to get in under Ohaha's EO. They'll reemerge w/ new names and SS nos.

Course, falsifying govt documents is a felony---but who's paying attention to silly US laws? (/snix)

I didn't know that.

Doing a Google it looks like there is a 10 year expiration date on them even though they are called permanent resident cards. Who would guess that? I know relatives who had them once now citizens and they always told they were permanent.

Correct. Nothing more to say.
