With immigration legislation stalled in Congress, advocates are intensifying pressure on the Obama administration to act unilaterally to stop deportations or grant legal status to some of the 11 million people now living in the U.S. illegally.
Activists are stepping up acts of civil disobedience like one last month in Phoenix, where they blocked a bus full of immigrant detainees. And labor leaders plan to press the issue with a top White House official in an upcoming meeting. …
“If Congress doesn’t move, the president has a duty to act,” said Ana Avendano, director of immigration and community action at the AFL-CIO. …

Yes, the effort to lower the average IQ in the US needs immediate action! /sarcasm, of course.
THAT would be dangerous.
Increased benefits, and anti-abortion efforts in the existing underclass community could do that without border inaction.
Deportations have been stalled or dropped for over a year already, plus even illegals who have broken laws are sprung on bail and disappear under new aliases. INS & Justice are ignoring the laws on illegals to flood our country in anticipation of full amnesty under immigration “reform”.
“If Congress doesn’t move, the president has a duty to act,”
like a dictator.
If you are here illegally... GTF out of our country. GO back to mexico and apply to come here legally or FOAD.
I wouldn't use the sarcasm tag. Numbers USA has listed a real lot of companies that are laying off US workers at the same time they're pressing congress for more immigrant labor. Corporations would much rather have more compliant workers and a surplus to keep salaries low. The top whatever percent is pulling further away from everyone else every day, and invader labor makes it easier to do so.
The elite have become a sort of royalty in a world of their own, and their connection to the rest of us will continue to get more remote as they accumulate wealth and power and the rest of us fall further behind.

...The Republican Party must embrace more legal immigration.
Unfortunately, like many of the major debates in Washington, immigration has become a stalemate-where both sides are imprisoned by their own rhetoric or attachment to sacred cows that prevent the possibility of a balanced solution.
Immigration Reform will not occur until Conservative Republicans, like myself, become part of the solution. I am here today to begin that conversation.
Let’s start that conversation by acknowledging we aren’t going to deport 12 million illegal immigrants.
If you wish to work, if you wish to live and work in America, then we will find a place for you...
This is where prudence, compassion and thrift all point us toward the same goal: bringing these workers out of the shadows and into being taxpaying members of society.
Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers.12 million more people assimilating into society. 12 million more people being productive contributors.
[but he’s not in favor of amnesty, snicker, definition of is is]
