Obama’s Immigration Plan Could Shield Four Million By MICHAEL D. SHEAR and ROBERT PEAR NOV. 19, 2014

President Obama on Tuesday. Some advocates said this week that they saw a paradox in the president’s policy.

WASHINGTON — Up to four million undocumented immigrants who have lived in the United States for at least five years can apply for a program that protects them from deportation and allows those with no criminal record to work legally in the country, President Obama is to announce on Thursday, according to people briefed on his plans.

An additional one million people will get protection from deportation through other parts of the president’s plan to overhaul the nation’s immigration enforcement system, including the expansion of an existing program for “Dreamers,” young immigrants who came to the United States as children. There will no longer be a limit on the age of the people who qualify.

But farm workers will not receive specific protection from deportation, nor will the Dreamers’ parents. And none of the five million immigrants over all who will be given new legal protections will get government subsidies for health care under the Affordable Care Act.

Govs. Scott Walker of Wisconsin and Rick Perry of Texas, at center and right, threatened possible legal action over President Obama’s pending executive action on immigration.Immigration

Going to shield 4 million?
What about shielding himself??

Let me see if I have my facts straight.
Barry Soetoro aka. Barack Hussein Obama has a bogus BC, a phony SSN, is now going to issue an EO granting amnesty to illegal immigrants. Now I ask the question “isn’t Barry Soetoro also an illegal immigrant?” Therefore, will Barry Soetoro be granting himself amnesty and become a LEGAL IMMIGRANT?

Doesn’t protect them from squat.

It is just an affirmation that this President is refusing to honor his oath of office.

Despite Obama stating dozens of times that he lacks the authority to issue executive amnesty, his spite knows no bounds...the date of his executive action, and concentration of broadcast via Univision's Latin Grammy's on November 20th illustrates the gravity of his absolute contempt for our Constitution and our nation:

Or 40 million, which is what they have contractual commitments already signed to support.

“Impeach. Remove from office.”
Be careful what you wish for. Crazy Joe is waiting in the wings.

Notice how the lying commie pigs in the “media” keep making this number smaller and smaller. Everything the “media” says these days is a lie. EVERYTHING.

FU corrupt media.
The LSM present the “Amnesty wheel of Fortune” Where or where will the wheel stop??? Seven million, four million, do I hear 15 million????

Hey, how about the Constitution does not extend any authority to Barry for him to make these changes!
How about the fact Barry has no authority to demand government workers follow his DREAMer guidelines .

Disgusting, that Barry puts aside the POTUS job to play Santa Claus and give illegals USA welfare benefits on Mexico Revolution Day, and before Black Friday.

America is NOT governed “For La Raza, by the illegals”

Why not legalize everybody (i.e., all 20-30 million)? If you’re going to declare yourself dictator, why not do whatever you want? Why the limit?
