The White House decision to enact the DREAM Act through executive fiat is a lawless act. This isn’t even about immigration; it’s about the Constitution. I have repeatedly written that something like DREAM has much to recommend it, though it would need to be very different from the current iteration, which has been voted down in Congress several times. I understand that Senator Marco Rubio has finally put together a final version of his alternative bill and that Senators Kyl and Hutchison have signed on — from my discussions with his staff, I probably won’t like what he’s come up with, but unless there are typos in my version of Article I of the Constitution, that’s the way lawmaking is supposed work. For all the administration’s pious denials that this measure “confers no substantive right” and “only the Congress, acting through its legislative authority, can confer these rights”, they’re lying. The illegal immigrants in question will receive two-year renewable permits to live legally in the United States and an Employment Authorization Document — that, in plain terms, is what we call “amnesty”.
Any DREAM Act supporter who applauds this measure has forfeited any right to complain about future usurpation of the Constitution. Even backers of DREAM in Congress have a responsibility to deny funding to DHS to carry out this policy.
Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) announced Friday that he plans to sue the president for issuing an executive order blocking deportations of illegal aliens.
In 1999 he successfully sued then-Gov. Tom Vilsack over an executive order.
Rep King won.
Back then all the “experts” said he would lose as well.
Too bad for the “experts.”

This is a 180 for Baxter, he used to be against the illegals a few years ago.
O'Reilly has always been very friendly to Trayvon's parents' lawyer and very unsympathetic to Zimmerman. Sean Hannity initially was wiling to be fair and even had some pro-Zimmerman guests on, but then he shut up. I wonder if the Fox head honchos laid down the law--no coverage that might cause people to think Zimmerman is innocent.
O’Reilly has at least one daughter. And a wife.
He lives on Long Island and hangs with ‘Liberals.’
Ain’t no conservative bone sitting there in handmade suits.
With the stroke of a pen his Ineptedness created another underclass of people.
Isn't this like having a temporary work/education visa (not a green card)? I wouldn't think they could get government goodies.
“kagan leaked the supremes decision on SB #1070 due out monday, that is why the commie went around the rose bush today.”
I think so... why else would he make it effective IMMEDIATELY.
It’s rather scary to see an American(?)president bypass the legislature and make his own rules.
Would the scu*bags who voted for him now have us call him
“your excellency”, “your highness” or maybe “your brilliance”?
Or maybe they will demand that we say “heil” as a greeting in the new, enlightened dictatorship which is now pushing its nose under the tent flap.
IMHO
King? Kings are losers. Shoot for Imperious Maximum Osagyefo Dear Leader and God Emperor of the Worthless White Foot-on-the-Neck Scum-People of the United States of America. That will impress your buddies in the U.N.
