This just in! Congress really isn't important after all.

Under the administration plan, illegal immigrants will be immune from deportation if they were brought to the U.S. before they turned 16 (how do they prove that?) and are younger than 30 (we go by the birthdate on what documentation?), have been in the country for at least five continuous years (again how do they prove it), have no criminal history, graduated from a U.S. high school or earned a GED, or served in the military.

Vote democrats? Vote republicans? Blah...

Edit: it is a difference between left and right, but not between democrats and republicans. This is what I have learned so far.

It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything.

It's going to be a simple case of catch and release............and vote.

Wow, nice executive overreach. Guess they'll also be naturalized to be able to vote in November too.

Have to be, I was wondering how many votes he planned to get by doing this and remembered they can't vote, so why did he do it?

Then I saw your post and realized how. Naturalize 'em!

What a mess. I even agree to a certain extent with what he wants to do. But the method matters. This is a republic, we do not govern by fiat!

He's pandering to the Hispanics for votes. It's just one more indication that there's nothing he won't do to hang onto his office. Funny thing is, about a week ago he was making speeches bragging about how many people his administration had deported.

Hell even he disagrees with himself!

In thinking about the questionable legality of President Obama’s immigration policy change, I thought it might be useful to quote a Harvard-educated constitutional legal scholar — Barry Obama:

With respect to the notion that I can just suspend deportations through executive order, that’s just not the case, because there are laws on the books that Congress has passed — and I know that everybody here at Bell is studying hard so you know that we’ve got three branches of government. Congress passes the law. The executive branch’s job is to enforce and implement those laws. And then the judiciary has to interpret the laws.

There are enough laws on the books by Congress that are very clear in terms of how we have to enforce our immigration system that for me to simply through executive order ignore those congressional mandates would not conform with my appropriate role as President.

You forgot one thing. They can't legally vote... yet, that doesn't mean they won't be voting, legally or illegally.

Rep. Allen West, R-Florida

" I find it ironic that Secretary Napolitano would not assist our State of Florida with ensuring the integrity of the voting process but she can make a unilateral decision about who can reside in America.”

Ironic indeed.

There are a lot of hispanics out there who CAN vote. THAT is who he's pandering to. BUT, in a world where the feds don't want to allow states to require valid ID of voters, WHO KNOWS how many invalid votes will be cast?

If there was ever a reason to impeach this tool ,this is it. His abuses of the Office are intolerable and he and those that support his brand of bull$hit need to be shown the door along with a kick in the ass

true, but with Chi-town style voting policies, why even keep the illegal when you can just make up three votes for every illegal anyway?

Obama, to date, has signed 129 executive orders. In eight years, W signed 291 (two terms). Who signed the most? FDR. In 4 terms he signed over 3,000 executive orders.
