A second question is whether he can affirmatively provide them with IDs and legal status even if he has the power to not prosecute based on "prosecutorial discretion".

BINGO! Not prosecuting someone is actually within his rights as President to decide - I agree it is not justified - but, affording them legal status and benefits such as welfare, work permits, etc... IS an action which would require appropriated funding and authority from Congress, as they are listed as the people who make the rules governing immigration.

This is like the DA refusing to prosecute a known, guilty bank robber; but then demanding the bank which he robbed, to allow the known, guilty bank-robber to open an account there - using the money he stole from the bank!!

It is one thing not to prosecute, it is another to force the victims to service the attacker!

I don’t understand what Oklahoma’s hesitancy to join this effort is. We should’ve been on board from the beginning.

I realize this is a little bit off topic but it always hacks me off that suits such as this one, gun rights suits, pro-life suits, et al take eons to clear the legal maze while suits for homo marriage, abortion, abolishing voter ID, inhibiting states rights, etc. get action from the renegade judiciary seemingly overnight.

A confluence of a multitude of events in our society is helping us become a banana republic. The new Congress is already demonstrating its incompetence. Maybe secession should be put on the table.

Roses are red, violets are blue;
Obamacare’s funded, and now Amnesty too!

The preceding is a lament about the Repubs rolling over, even funding the transport of HUNDREDS of dying Ebola patients to the US to infect the rest of us.
