Source: Administration Weighs Bypassing Congress to Let Illegal Immigrants Stay

The Obama administration has been holding behind-the-scenes talks to determine whether the Department of Homeland Security can unilaterally grant legal status on a mass basis to illegal immigrants, a former Bush administration official who spoke with at least three people involved in those talks told FoxNews.com.

The Obama administration has been holding behind-the-scenes talks to determine whether the Department of Homeland Security can unilaterally grant legal status on a mass basis to illegal immigrants, a former Bush administration official who spoke with at least three people involved in those talks told FoxNews.com.

The issue was raised publicly by eight Republican senators who wrote to the White House on Monday to complain that they had heard the administration was readying a "Plan B" in case a comprehensive immigration reform bill cannot win enough support to clear Congress.

The White House would not confirm or deny the claim. But the former Bush official said the discussions are real.

I’m sure this wasn’t popular with the Yankees. However, if the @$$h0le does it, he still can’t confer citizenship on them, plus deportation is not a prosecution.

November won’t cut the mustard definitively unless it brings about a veto proof majority.

Part of the Grand Plan...Obama wants the troops in the streets shooting down Americans. How in hell does this begin? ...a few riots here and there..then nightly curfews? Controlled communications, divide us and we are helpless. The Idiot-in-Chief is the Commander of the ARMED FORCES and we will be dead meat. God help us all.

This totally violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution. But what does this bunch (barry and co.) care about the Constitution. Damn it, he took an oath to protect and uphold the Constitution. He’s broken that oath. Time for barry to be IMPEACHED.

Yep, and when it’s overturned by the USSC or the next congress there will be a backlash from the other side.

Sounds to me like the Weather Underground is going to get the race war they always wanted.

That will not happen. Our military leaders will not allow that to happen.

Two things can be done right now. First, governors need to say FUBO and to tell Hussien that they will in NO WAY co-operate. Second, the 41 GOP Senators will tell Husseing that NOTHING will advance in the Senate up throught January 2011 if he tries this.

As usual, we agree completely, DC. I’m tired of the anger and frustration. We’re doomed to a life of servitude to government. I will stick to my principles, but I will not fire the first shot. If they come to find me, I will fight and die, if necessary. Otherwise, I’ll join a popular rebellion but am deign to start one. Those who do are generally derided as “whackos.” If you examine the incidents properly, Ruby Ridge and Waco were fought by principled Americans as well.

Then the Soetoro can announce, with his chin pointed to the clouds, The Argument Is Over! There are no more ILLEGALS. So you cannot argue against illegals anymore.

"They really seem determined to lose Congress in November, don’t they?"

It's not about Republicans vs. Democrats anymore, and hasn't been for a long time. Communism has long since supplanted the Democrat party, and has infected the Republican party too. Republicans held power in every branch of government and still Bush and McCain did everything they could to force amnesty for millions of illegal thugs down our throats. Americans have been sleeping and enjoying a false sense of peace whilst the enemy works around the clock.

IMO, he’s not dividing us. Rather, he’s sending more to our side. The divide is about 75 to 25 right now and the Fuhrer is losing his base.

If they think they can get away with it, they will do it. It will hand the November 2010 election to the Republicans in most places in the country, and finish off the last little daylight here in the 2012 election.

Speaking of lawless, what if I decide to break any laws I deem unfair to me? Do the rest of us get to pick and choose what laws we want to obey? I think we all know the answer to that one.

Bring it on! These Marxists may have started it but American patriots will finish it. Keep your powder dry.

An outrageous act of tyranny. This rogue administration has decided that they are a law unto themselves.

True. That’s why non-enforcement is so corrupting: it’s the same as lawlessness, just as effective but more evasive and passive.

"That will not happen. Our military leaders will not allow that to happen."

Umm, Obama is our military leader. And there are probably more than enough left wing Generals in the Pentagon who would happily obey the "the One's" commands. You know, there's no guarantee that America can't be taken over from within by despots, the Constitution is only as strong as those who are willing to defend it. Governmental collapse and subsequent takeover by despots has occurred to great nations throughout history, and we don't have any special treaty with God that exempts us from tyranny. I'm not saying that I think it necessarily will happen, but it certainly could.
