A week ago, President Obama stunned the nation when he announced that he would be implementing the chief provisions of the “DREAM Act” through executive fiat: He has ordered the Department of Homeland Security to refuse to deport illegal aliens under the age of 30 who claim to have entered the country before the age of 16 and who’ve graduated from high school or are in school. Some 1.4 million illegal aliens are likely to qualify for this amnesty.

He knows it is not legal. He wanted to show hispanics that he will help them and that Republicans wants to throw them out.
John Boehner is no Newt Gingrich. Nor will he ever be.
How many more, Mister Speaker??????
We must keep after those in Washington. We stopped the nightmare act before, and we can do it again if we make the effort.
No kidding it isn’t legal...
Now, who is going to enforce the law on our rogue dictator?
Come now, we mustn't upset the democrats, it's an election year dontcha know.
Let’s turn a thread about Presidential mistakes to one bashing Republicans.
In my opinion that's been happening too much lately. But the truth of the matter is, John Boehner has become the elephant in the room. He took an oath, he works for us. It's time to do something.
To let him get away with it. Now THAT would be a mistake.
It was at 800,000, now it is up to 1.4 million illegal aliens . In Mexico they must be packing up and coming here.Fire up the document fraud printers. Where is Obama getting the money to pay for this, since he bypassed congress, this means no funding was given.
No one. He will continue to do whatever he wants. He will get away with everything he does, and will never be held accountable for anything. I wish I wasn't so negative about this, but that is the reality.
It’s going to buy Obama a bunch of votes with no chance of it backfiring on him.
Problem is half the Republican party (not my half) wants to pass amnesty and are just jealous that they didn’t beat him to the punch. Those are the ones like Graham-nesty who you see complaining the most.
Call it illegal but Republicans have yet to show that they know what they are doing.
I wish I could disagree...in any way...but I can’t :(
Romney will win easily, but if he wanted to clinch it all he would have had to say in response was,
“As president, my job isn’t to make laws. As the nation’s chief law enforcement officer, my job is to enforce them.”
I don’t know why it is, but the Republicans—particularly, John Bohner and Mitt Romney—are afraid of their own shadows when it comes to this issue of enforcing federal immigration law.
It makes them look weak, and not just to conservatives. Logical explanation? Maybe they are weak.
Obama needs to go down, they could be hammering him on this issue, the slight majority of Americans that still believe that we are and should be a nation of laws would cheer them on, and they play, “Gee, I dunno ...”.
A 31 year old under a deportation order should sue for age discrimination.
