Based on the recent use of 212(d)(5) to parole into the United States Haitians and others without case by case review (under the presumed authority that the decision to grant parole was the "case", not the individual parolees), what is keeping Holder from granting indefinite 212(d)(5) paroles to all undocumented aliens currently in, or with a desire to come to, the United States?

It seems he could irrevocably make the presence of illegals suddenly, and without oversight, legal. It doesn't grant a path to citizenship, but people in this status have a lot of privileges at both the state and federal level (and they can buy, sell, and possess guns).

212(d)(5) (also known as 8 U.S.C. § 1182(D)(5))

(5)
(A) The Attorney General may, except as provided in subparagraph (B) or in section 1184 (f) of this title, in his discretion parole into the United States temporarily under such conditions as he may prescribe only on a case-by-case basis for urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit any alien applying for admission to the United States, but such parole of such alien shall not be regarded as an admission of the alien and when the purposes of such parole shall, in the opinion of the Attorney General, have been served the alien shall forthwith return or be returned to the custody from which he was paroled and thereafter his case shall continue to be dealt with in the same manner as that of any other applicant for admission to the United States.
(B) The Attorney General may not parole into the United States an alien who is a refugee unless the Attorney General determines that compelling reasons in the public interest with respect to that particular alien require that the alien be paroled into the United States rather than be admitted as a refugee under section 1157 of this title.

because this would take the steam out of the 'crisis' without adding all of his new friends to the voter rolls. If the illegals can't be made to vote democrat, then there is no point.

In an immediate sense, it is not so much about the illegal vote itself but the hispanic vote. It is about pumping up the vote among leftists and hispanics.

The factor limiting the illegal vote, IMPO, is that most won't go to the polls. It isn't that they couldn't find a place or means to vote.

You do realize it would basically make the presence of all "paroled" aliens legal and irrevocable, without requiring them to pay taxes or otherwise make any effort to become a citizen.

They would be here legally. Then all the Democrats need to do is figure out how to convert them from Legal to Citizen.

I know parsing through US Code can be unpleasant, but can someone please disprove this?

Such a slap in the face given the amount of shit one has to go through to get a spouse legal.

Didn't Madison have something to say about laws that are so complexly written that the average citizen couldn't understand them?

The average citizen generally doesn't bother to read the laws.

TL;DR



How can us Taxpayers create a 2nd alias as an illegal so we can get all that free shirt we paid for?

is this different to the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986?

Yes. INA was put in place in 1952.
