"The constituency most clamoring for executive action has already shown they expect little and will settle for nothing. Latinos have proven they’re a cheap date for Democrats, and willing to be fooled by Obama."


Conservatives and liberals both assume that the president will eventually halt the deportation of millions of illegal immigrants through an executive order. They’re wrong.

For the last several weeks, in Washington and the nation’s immigrant communities, the assumption was that President Obama would circumvent Congress and use his executive power to spare millions of illegal immigrants from deportation by offering them temporary legal status.

The assumption was wrong. As I’ve maintained for months, this rumored plan to overhaul the immigration system through an executive order is not going to materialize. Not after the November elections, and not at any point during this administration.  

The details of exactly what Obama would do and how many people stood to get legal status were unsettled. But the message was clear: Obama was finally ready to keep a promise made long ago to deliver immigration reform—and primed to go it alone. The president said as much in late June, when he declared his frustration with congressional inaction on the issue and vowed to do whatever he could to fix the problem.

Both the left and the right pushed the idea that Obama would go around Congress and issue an executive order—albeit for different reasons.

   

Cause votes for the Dems that's why. And a nation without borders is no longer a nation

The end.

Once the mid-terms are over he'll do a bunch of crazy shit with EOs. He'll go total scorched earth on America.

Because that spineless cocksucker wont do shit unless it's on a motherfucking golf course.

He's an illegal himself!

"After the midterms he will have a lot more flexibility"

closer to the elections he will play his cards to keep us divided.

Yep.  He needs allies.

 

I fear his last few months/weeks/days in office will be something this country has never experienced.

Because we keep calling/faxing/writing to congress. Try Numbers USA for some activism!

Yes he will. Unless of course the republicans lose the house, then he wont have to use another EO until he pardons his administration in January 2017.

if he doesnt do anything they still pour in.
if he doesnt get them legal they still leech the system and he gets to blame republicans.
if he does get them legal its a double win for him, but may as well stretch it out, see #1. & 2.
