But the Democratic representatives say Obama has a responsibility to protect the young people who trusted him and the government.


Obama has been protecting government from the people for 8 years.

A move like this by Obama would be a devastating blow to American voters and likely destroy the Democratic party from which it could never recover. Yes...please try it.

The Dems need voters once there will be voter ID’s and they can no longer count on cheating.

THIS!

The Obama administration has already stated unequivocally that Obama will not be issuing such pardons.

So, I expect he'll be issuing them the Friday before Christmas...

They’d become criminals again the second after they were pardoned unless they have left the country.

Trump will not be able to do that.

Correct. He can’t grant a boon of citizenship.

I suppose if the illegals left when pardoned, they could come back if they could do it legally. So he could affect some sort of touch back set up, but I doubt it

Well, no, they don’t have to be named to be pardoned. It’s called amnesty when applied to a group, and there are several examples in American history.

Yes, they could return legally, but under laws and procedures set by the then-Trump Administration

Have a good day.

Pardon is for a sentence passed upon conviction.

I have seen a couple of them who have said too on here that we should not report them, along with the fools who said if homosexuals got their sham marriage it would not affect us. How wrong they were again.
Probably just trolls

Where do they come up with these numbers?

Moreover, how can you pardon someone without a name or under indictment? After all they have not been found guilty.

He can pardon them from any *federal* offenses they committed, though he must *name* those offenses for each and every one of them; but he cannot give them citizenship, so, as foreign nationals, they are still subject to deportation.

So long as these illegals are not educated.

If they need to be pardoned, that means they have done something illegal.

Why stop there. Go ahead with the promise to close GITMO and pardon them. Pardon everyone in the prison system from the fed prison, death row and down to the drunks held overnight in city jail. Pardon students in d-hall and toddlers with their hands in the cookie jar. Issue a general pardon for all past and future deeds for every person legal or illegal on US soil on Janurary 19. Leave it all on Trump’s head.

I know POTUS has the pardon power... does he have an amnesty power too?

To pardon, would/should mean to name each individual.

Then Trump works from that list of names.

A few of these rat congressmen are anchor babies (illegal aliens) themselves.

The two Sanchez sisters from California immediately come to mind. The sisters should not even be in this country, let alone making laws.
