How are the bureaucracies going to process 5 million applications quickly? With what will these illegals prove they have been in the country for more than 5 years? What will the SS# be issued on, a Honduras birth certificate? I can see with all the delays implementing a memo from the President to change the process of issuing green cards, it will be utter confusion.
Then I see the pOTUS changing the requirements on the fly, he will degree that everybody can get a green card, no paperwork needed, just get yourself across the border and we will have tables set up to issue you a work permit and a voting card.
I agree with you that his plan will not work and will have to be adjusted “on the fly” as he did with the ACA. I further suspect that it will result in a lot of very angry illegals who are tripped up on the paperwork and process issues that were not thought through.
I see this as just one more big government promise that delivers failure.
It is my hope that it will be come obvious to Latinos and Blacks that Democrats can't be trusted to work out the details when the ram things through the systems.
