Yes — The GOP has no intention of opposing amnesty, and desire it greatly themselves.

Obama may go big and bold but the lame duck session will not fund it. If the government shuts down it will be the illegals’ fault.

Do you really believe that the GOP Congressmen would vote funds for the illegals in Dec?

Can he give green cards to 8 million or so illegals? -No
Can he unilaterally stop all deportations? -Yes
Can he disband the border patrol and ICE? -No
Can he forgive the crimes committed by illegals? -No
With his pen and phone say that all illegals are citizens? - No
I’m hopelessly unclear on his realistic options. -Yes

Well Obama did give a bunch of green cards to the so called dreamers and as POTUS he does have the power to pardon? Confused in Nevada.

Obama gave them temporary work permits for 2 years and deferred deportation. A green card is permanent resident status and takes 5-10 years to get once approved.

Presidential power to pardon.

Under the Constitution, only federal criminal convictions, such as those adjudicated in the United States District Courts, may be pardoned by the President. In addition, the President's pardon power extends to convictions adjudicated in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia and military court-martial proceedings.

Yes — Oh there might be some who wouldn’t due to principles, but I think it’ll end up being like what happened when the NSA’s abuses came to light: favorable to the government/elite.

If Obama uses pen & telephone expect a government shutdown.

Gary Hustwit, director of Helvetica, agrees. "Most people other than type designers just say 'font,'" Hustwit says. "Among graphic designers, though, I'd say it's a generational thing. A lot of the older designers I've met, like Massimo Vignelli, always say 'typeface.'"

Thanks for the link. I'm an older graphic designer.

2 years 5 years. Certainly the mean ole Republicans aren’t going to send these future Doctors, Lawyers, Teachers and Nuclear Physicists back home. “Under the Constitution” that works well for Obama.

I think the dreamers are here to stay; the others not so much.
