Saying he's grown frustrated with waiting for congressional Republicans, an angry President Barack Obama said Monday he will bypass Congress and act on his own to make changes to immigration policy by the end of the summer. Obama spoke Monday from the Rose Garden, where he slammed House Republicans for being too accommodating to the conservative, anti-immigration wing of their party and chided House leadership for not working to pass a "darn bill."
"They're unwilling to stand up to the Tea Party and do what's right for the country. And what's worse — a bunch of them know better," Obama said in the Rose Garden, where he was joined by Vice President Joe Biden.
A White House official said earlier Monday that Obama's new moves came after House Speaker John Boehner told him last week the House will not vote on immigration-related legislation this year. Obama said Boehner informed him Republicans will not vote "at least for the remainder of this year." The president has faced pressure from immigration advocates to stem the tide of deportations in lieu of waiting for congressional legislation.
Obama said he will direct Homeland Security Department Secretary Jeh Johnson and Attorney General Eric Holder to present him with executive actions he can take without congressional approval by the end of the summer. He said he will implement them "without further delay." It's unclear what specific actions the administration might look to take, but Johnson suggested in an interview with PBS last month he would look at changing a controversial deportation policy that has faced criticism from all sides.

Time to flood the lines to Congress like we had to do with Bush. The link above will get you there.
Mr. “constitutional scholar” forgot that those Congressmen are elected by we the people to represent what we want. No one ever points that out.
“...Obama is a clinically-diagnosable narcissist. When narcissists are cornered or don’t get their way, they get VERY dangerous.”
When I heard a portion of his tantrum today it sure sounded desperate - and then on seeing the picture on Drudge with Biden in the background - looked like even Biden was wondering if Zero had come off his rocker. In the face of his growing unpopularity, Supreme Court decisions that are substantially going against his positions, and Congress hopefully holding firm and not acquiescing to his dictates, he could take actions that will be enough to show his mental disorders make him unfit to the point that enough Democrats will recognize the electoral disaster coming their way and take action to try and stem the tide. The legal coup under the 25th amendment would be less messy than a full impeachment.
It’s too bad there aren’t any more Supreme Court decisions to be announced soon that could enhance the showing of this “constitutional law scholar” as an intellectual imposter.
I truly would beg on bended knee for Putin or Netanyatu to give us the goods on Hussein.....now, quick, please, tell us you have the proof that he was born in Kenya, like he said he was or anything that would dethrone him. Please!!!
Being called a racist is nothing anymore. It’s a joke. Having him be impeached would be worth being called a racist, who cares. He’s a criminal. I can’t believe democrats want all these illegals here. I just don’t believe it. I wonder if the dems are hearing from their constituents.

I’m tired of all these stupid ‘gun control’ laws.
If democrats drag their feet on repealing all of them, (after we have a Republican in office) we’ll just take matters into our own hands - go around congress - and repeal all those laws.
Well, that is - IF we were thugs like democrats are, that’s what we’d do...
If Obama thinks he’s a dictator he’ll be out of office soon... and it’ll be a cold day in hell before Americans trust democrats again...
That’s our win.
Democrats are monsters... don’t forget that...
I would never want to be like democrat filth. There is no ‘goal’ worth it... really. Think about it.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
1. "School attendance: Only citizens, legal residents, those with special student visas can attend elementary, high school, and colleges in the United States."
2. "One parent must be a citizen before a newborn child is given automatic citizenship."
3. Felony: We must finally declare that crossing the border illegally is a felony.
Illegal parents come to the United States for the wonderful benefits that their children can receive, like a quality education and great health care. Can you blame them for making the dangerous, long trip with their young children, or sending their children by themselves with the hope that the United States will automatically let them stay?
Freight trains: They must have guards to stop illegal immigrants from using them to get to the Mexico-US border.
I don't understand how a child can illegally cross the southern border one day and automatically be eligible to enroll in public school anywhere in the country the next day. That is wrong.
I don't think we'll need to. I predict that sometime this calendar year, likely after the midterm elections, he's going to pull a stunt so dastardly that even Dems will revolt against him.
I've portended that we won't make it 2016, and I stand by that. All bets are off when this tin pot dictator is cornered with no other action but violence. It's coming.
This is why I think they will let Cruz and Lee do whatever they have to do. If you turn Cruz loose, as a RINO you can support some of the positions that you share wiith Cruz and keep some semblance of acting Conservative. Some RINO who is 90% conservative still shares 90% with Cruz. Also, by keeping him out front it’s a no lose for the RINO.
The way Republican primaries are going, RINO’s are running scared. They know if we walk they are done. If they decide to go full rat, they will lose their next election because the rats are still going to support the most lib of the bunch.
I would vote RINO this election just for the reason we are about to see with Obama going full rogue. This week illegals. Next week he can mandate that all White Christian men will need to go to sensitivity training. And if you don’t you’re a racist and the IRS will confiscate your bank accounts. What are you going to do?
The only way to stop this is a Republican senate and with that Cruz and Lee spending the next two years making Obamas life a living hell.
That's delusional.
If he's in the continental U.S. someone will post his location within 24 hours.
Assuming, of course that he is NOT "allowed" to use the internet "off" switch
We have, I think, a new classic definition of insanity : He went Obama!!
