Gutierrez Reveals WH Considering Implementing Exec Amnesty in 24 States That Didn’t Join Lawsuit

On Wednesday, Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) revealed that the White House is considering implementing its executive amnesty program in the 24 states that did not join the lawsuit against it.

A majority of states (26) joined the lawsuit that led to a federal judge (Andrew Hanen) issuing an injunction against Obama’s executive amnesty last week. The Obama administration complied with the injunction, did not accept applications for Obama’s executive amnesty, and asked Hanen for a stay before it files an appeal to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. But the White House, according to Gutierrez, is deciding whether it has the legal authority to launch its executive amnesty program in the 24 other states and the District of Columbia before the lawsuit is resolved.

“I think that is a very worthy observation, and the White House – I know the advocates are on it – but I’ve got to tell you, President Barack Obama is on it, too. He’s thinking about it, and the White House has been trying to figure out [if it’s an option],” Gutierrez reportedly said, according to The Hill.

Gutierrez, who has gone on a nationwide executive amnesty tour to instruct illegal immigrants about the executive amnesty process and warn them of scammers who may take advantage of them, reportedly even suggested that the Obama administration could go further and decide if it has the authority to implement its executive amnesty in every state except for Texas. When the Obama administration asked Hanen to stay his injunction, it proposed a compromise in its filing--let every state except for Texas implement Obama’s executive amnesty.

This is going to be a very destructive next two years.

And the likes of McConnell, Graham, etc. can't find it in themselves to stand against such arrogance.

Lawlessness.

The spirit of destruction.

Does this nation and its people care any more about liberty, freedom, truth, the rule of law?

Apparently not.

I am grateful the Creator is in control, and not this wicked world.

He’s Puerto Rican, a citizen. Can’t deport him.
And a traitor. Could try him for that.

Does Emperor Sans-culotte think his illegal amnesty for illegal aliens is only illegal in 26 states?

UnConstitutional is unConstitutional.

I predict illegals will bankrupt the U.S. within no time if Guiterrez has his way. Part of the plan working alongside Obama I’m sure.

They wont stoop will they. The next GOP Presidents to forget about tax cuts, abortion and everything else and just concentrate on taking back the country.

1. secure the borders.
2. name solid supreme court appointees who will not falter or fail.
3. Media reform-break up the media giants and put the networks out of business.
4. National right to work sock it to the unions.
5.Defund the left.
6.Appoint solid US DA’s who will investigate Dem corruption and who would make good nominees for higher office.
We cant really do anything else until this is done and then and only then do we start following a plan of conservative policy advancement, because only after we do this can we get that done.

That’s pretty much thumbing your nose at the judiciary. With some important cases before the SCOTUS, that might not be a wise strategy.

Good point, but Obama is swinging for the fences here. If he can get all these people registered to vote, it’s over for the GOP, regardless of court decisions.

That’s where the NSA comes in.

The federal government can’t implement any regulations without the consent of the house.

Further, they cannot make law nor can the law exclude 1/2 the states.

The Constitution makes clear that the Fed must make laws regular, across all states.

Huh? They implement regulations all the time, without the consent of the House. Just look at the EPA.

Net Neutrality, Executive Amnesty, Monitors in the news rooms, and utterly ignoring court orders, is there any way to see what is going on as short of a coop d’état?
