As illegal immigrants flood across the border, President Barack Obama is still reportedly planning to issue an executive action to give temporary amnesty and work permits this year to the parents of illegal immigrant children.
A "senior official familiar with the White House deliberations" told the Los Angeles Times that the "work is continuing" on a Deferred Action program for the parents of so-called DREAMers and other executive actions to ease deportations. The Times noted that the program "was tentatively slated to be announced this fall," but the Obama administration may try to enact it after the midterm elections because two in three Americans, according to the most recent Gallup poll, disapprove of the way Obama is handling immigration right now.
In 2012, Obama, by executive fiat, enacted the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program that gave temporary amnesty and work permits for two years to illegal immigrant children who came to the country before they were 16, had been living in the United States since 2007, were not over 30 years of age, and met a variety of other requirements.
As Breitbart News has reported, "at least 560,000 people to date have been granted temporary amnesty under the DACA program," and federal officials expect that number will increase as "applicants who were not eligible in 2012 because they were not 16 years of age" will be able to apply for DACA in September, when those who received temporary amnesty in 2012 can re-apply for another two years.
Amnesty advocates stormed Congress on Friday to demand Deferred Action for the parents and family members of illegal immigrant children, which Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) has also vehemently supported. Obama recently asked Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson to delay its review of the nation's immigration laws....

OK Norm, I made my point a few Posts ago and you made yours.
Like I said, it doesn’t matter. Either people are going to wake up in this Country and realize what is happening, or they won’t.
So far “they won’t” is winning the Battle and most likely will win the War.
I fear we are just Dinosaurs, looking up in the sky at the big flash of light heading our way.
I would never had thought it possible in my 60+ Years being Born and Raised in this wonderful Country, but here we are.
Whatever our differences and opinions, we are both on the same side when it comes to our appreciation of what America should be, of that I am absolutely certain.
Impeached? He could behead a troop of girl scouts on the White House lawn during the Easter Egg roll, butcher them, barbecue them and serve them to all the participants and he still wouldn’t be impeached. And if you criticized him about it, the press would say “it’s a black thing” and accuse you of being a racist tea bagging rethuglican for bringing it up while licking their fingers and asking Michelle what kind of “awesome” spice rub they’re using and beg for more of that “delicious” macaroni & cheese and a refill of their Kool-aid.
Another EO from President Stompy Pants. Congress does nothing. SCOTUS continues to “evade” the issue. We the People do nothing.
I quit the Free Republic Facebook page.
Why?
Because it was OVERRUN with left wing trolls.
I demanded they be taken down and got some condescending lecture about free speech.
I got nasty with the trolls to try to get them to leave.
MY posts were taken down and I was given a condescending lecture about “civility”.
Going to a conservative board and spewing all kinds of left wing bs? How’s that “civility”? Why not take them down for the “incivility” of flaming?
We expect our elected officials to fight these guys when we won’t even fight them on our message boards?
What the ****???????????????
“We expect our elected officials to fight these guys when we won’t even fight them on our message boards?”
Indeed.
Amnesty for Dreamers, Nightmares for citizens.
Furthermore, they don’t have the right of “free speech” on a private entity’s FB page.
Thanks for that info, I won’t be visiting the FR FB page.
For all his faults, Romney was never for open door immigration policy. By the time Obummber gets through, and Hillary will be next, this country will be truly transformed. And you are not going to like it or recognize it, and neither will I. But I did my duty to try and preserve this country.
Did Cochran do something illegal? If yes, he should be prosecuted. If not, he exercised 1st Amendment rights. American election have always been brutal going back to it’s founding fathers. It is what freedom of expression looks like it. And that is what separates us from other countries.
I wouldn't know since I could not trust a word the man said.
But you trust Obummer? Amazing!
Not one bit. I trust Obama to be exactly what he is. Romney, he was pretending to be something other than what he was/is.
I agree. Friends, and people who love you, don’t treat people the way liberals treat conservatives.
My threshold is not illegality, it is extreme unethicalness, and he was unethical by any definition.
So you traded a possible unknown for a known extreme liberal with history of Acorn lawyering, community organiziing, Muslim upbringing, and communist godfather. And you are proud of your decision making? Amazing!
If unethical is the dis-qualifier, 90%+ American politicians will be dis-qualified.
American politics is a blood sport. If you can’t fight brutal attacks with powerful counter attacks do not get involved. I remember well the brutal attacks between Romney, Santorum and Newt on each other during the primaries.
Shoot to kill would stop this nonsense right quick. Send THAT message back to Central America.
After the election of 2012, you couldn’t even tell that the Facebook FreeRepublic group was even conservative.
There were so many celebrating liberal trolls.
Where were the mods? Why weren’t they throwing these people off?
I guess we’ll never know.
The mods on FB are liberals! So is the FB founder.
