President Barack Obama says he intends to issue an order easing the threat against deportation for immigrants in the country illegally.

He’d act despite warnings from Republican leaders that he would be poisoning the well with a newly elected GOP-controlled Congress. …

He intends to legislate by executive order in an area which the Constitution gives to Congress (Art. I, Sec. 8).

If he can do this, why can't he issue an executive order exempting himself from the 22nd Amendment's ban on third terms?

Comprehensive immigration reform:

1. Secure our borders and provide verifiable metrics
2. End the anchor-baby interpretation of the 14th Amendment
3. Make eVerify mandatory and enforce it with large fines
4. Reduce legal immigration quotas and end chain migration
5. Deport illegals upon contact with any law enforcement agency
6. No local, state or federal government benefits of any kind
7. Any health and/or other care billed back to the home country
8. Lifetime ban on path to citizenship for anyone who entered illegally
9. Make illegal entry a felony with a mandatory prison sentence

If somehow Obama does this and somehow manages to stall off a significant response for 2 years, when a Pub becomes President in 2016 (and one will) I would hope he would build a fence so high on the southern border that not a single illegal alien would ever be able to scale it. If we would have to eat 8,000,000, then make sure it is the last 8 million that would ever enter illegally again. Electrify the fence, by the way.

Those 8 million would each be able to bring their extended families here. I bet the number is a lot higher than 8 million.

Obama’s dementia bubbling to the surface now, faster than before. Eventually all dictators suffer the attack.

Has he ever said what Constitutional authority he will use to grant amnesty since naturalization action is delegated to Congress alone?

This is actually good news. When obama does this all momentum for “immigration reform” ends and the suspension of deportations can be lifted by a new POTUS.

obama will increase the partisanship environment in DC and hopefully the Pubs will respond by sending one bill after another to his desk that further marginalizes the Rats.

Go to war GOP and win!

Yea see the time for talking tough like that was when we could have rid ourselves of Mitch and Bhoner. But you didn’t want that. You screamed like Jamie Lee Curtis in a horror movie for your blessed RINOS that could ‘win”. Well they won, both of them, and those two did not wait 12 hours after the election to come out and reaffirm their PROMISE to pass ‘immigration reform” AKA Amnesty. So for you to sit here calling for mile high fences is pretty damn hollow.

Not that I’m aware of. I’m also not aware of any Republicans who have demanded he explain where he gets the power to legislate.

does any GOP leader actually believe Obama cannot do this Constitutionally or do they just say he shouldn’t do this without asking Congress?

“If he truly does something like this, amnesty, I think he turns many (not all) in his own party against him.”

I agree ... and I also believe doing amnesty will bring some Democrats to the table to get to 67 votes for impeachment. That is why Alaska and Louisiana are so important, narrows the gap on how many D votes we need.

turning the party against him does not matter as much to him as transforming America. If he violates his constitutional authority then the full weight of the law needs come down on him and his actions be deemed null and void.
