In large part due to the media blackout, President Obama plans to ram an unpopular policy down the throats of the American people.
President Obama will take executive action that ignores current U.S. immigration law and the U.S. Constitution, unveiling a controversial 10-part amnesty plan. The executive order, which a source tells FOX News will be announced as early as Friday Nov. 21, will suspend deportations for millions of illegal immigrants.
While the date may be pushed back a few days, the inevitable order seems to be on par with recently uncovered documents published by PPD in October, which were government print orders requesting vendors supply upwards of 34 million blank work permits and green cards.
The print orders front-loaded approximately 4.5 million in the first year, the same number now being cited by the White House source to implement the president’s “deferred action” plan. Deferred action is currently in place, but the president apparently plans to expand it dramatically for illegal immigrants who came to the U.S. as children — which was expected — but also for the parents of U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents.
The total number is frankly unknown, but estimates suggest the plan would allow upwards of 4.5 million illegal immigrant adults with U.S.-born children to stay in the first year.
Obama’s plans were contained in a draft proposal from a U.S. government agency, and the president was briefed at the White House by Homeland Security officials before he even left on his Asia-Pacific trip last week.
In an attempt to fool the American voters, the president delayed taking executive action that would essentially grant amnesty to millions of illegals prior to the elections. However, Democrats suffered devastating defeats, regardless, with illegal immigration and amnesty either defining or becoming a central component of campaigns once thought to be safe for Democratic incumbents.
“The president’s job is to ‘faithfully’ execute the laws of the United States,” said Judge Andrew Napolitano. “If the practical effect of his executive order is the opposite of what the law requires he will be violating the law, he will be breaking his oath, and he will be putting a tremendous pressure on the social system.”
Despite the clarity of the constitutional language — in Article 2 Section 1 — Democrats and liberal activists are cheering on the banana republic-like order.
Angela Maria Kelley, vice president for immigration policy at the Center for American Progress, touted deferred action as a “tried and true component of immigration policy used by 11 presidents, 39 times in the last 60 years.” Except, deferred action was cited as the reason for the border crisis over the summer by the National Association of Former Border Patrol Officers in June.
Chairman Zack Taylor said “any elected member of the executive or legislative branch of the U.S. government that has not stood up and demanded that current immigration law be enforced vigorously since 1986 is fully and exclusively responsible for this latest invasion.”
“This is not a humanitarian crisis. It is a predictable, orchestrated and contrived assault on the compassionate side of Americans by her political leaders that knowingly puts minor illegal alien children at risk for purely political purposes.”
Kelley also said that for many illegal immigrants who are already here and have been for years, “there is no line for people to get into.”
Critics, which include liberal law professor Jonathan Turley, who warned the lawlessness during the Obama presidency was bringing the nation to a “constitutional tipping point,” say there are other options outside of impeachment available to the newly elected Republican majority in the Senate.
“Congress has the power of the purse. The President cannot spend a dime unless Congress appropriates it,” Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions wrote in a recent op-ed in Politico. He said Congress would stop Obama by barring money from being used for that purpose.
“This is an action by the president of the United States to give amnesty to millions of individuals, which Congress has explicitly refused to do,” Session said in a statement Thursday. “Under the current law, they are illegally here and unable to work.”
He argued that similar tactics have been used by both Democrats and Republicans in the past to prevent the president from closing the Guantanamo Bay prison camp, another move that is widely unpopular among the American people.
That, too, had so-called “unintended” consequences. According to a recent report, U.S. intel officials believe upwards of 20 to 30 Guantanamo Bay detainees released by the Obama administration have joined the Islamic State. As previously stated, the “deferred action” plan was first put in place in June 2012, which was estimated to impact just 300,000 illegals, yet it led to a border crisis over the summer.
A leaked intelligence report obtained over the summer concluded that the border crisis is being caused by illegals seeking amnesty and misunderstanding U.S. immigration policy, not violence in Central America.
“Of the 230 migrants interviewed, 219 cited the primary reason for migrating to the United States was the perception of U.S. immigration laws granting free passes or permisos to UAC (unaccompanied children) and adult females OTMs (other than Mexicans) traveling with minors,” the 10-page report conducted on July 7 by the El Paso Intelligence Center (EPIC) said.
Obama created such a program for illegal immigrants who came to the U.S. as children prior to June 2007, and were under 31 as of June 2012. However, the government often ignored cutoff dates and now the executive order would expand that to cover anyone who entered before they were 16, and change the cut-off from June 2007 to Jan. 1, 2010. This is estimated to make nearly 300,000 illegal immigrants eligible.
The draft plan also contains initiatives to make mild increases to border security and increase pay for Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers in order to “increase morale.” But the other initiatives listed in the order, which was crafted in large part by Esther Olavarria, the late Sen. Ted Kennedy’s former top immigration lawyer, pale in comparison to deferred action in terms of impact.
According to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, those covered under deferred action receive work authorization in the United States, Social Security numbers and government-issued IDs. When those government IDs are issued, millions of illegals are potentially registered to vote and those who end up breaking the law and voting, overwhelming vote Democratic.
Bombshell data from the Cooperative Congressional Election Study (CCES) was recently used by The Washington Post to demonstrate that non-U.S. citizens easily explain President Obama’s tiny 2008 margin in North Carolina and Missouri, now-Sen. Al Franken’s (ObamaCare’s final vote) that same year, and many others. In North Carolina, alone, officials found at least 145 illegal aliens registered to vote (in 2014), and who were only in the country due to President Obama’s 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals executive order. The state’s secretary of state office told PPD two days before Election Day that at least hundreds of other non-U.S. citizens were on the rolls, but likely upwards of 10,500.
“This is the final piece in Obama’s fundamental transformation of the United States,” said FOX News contributor Monica Crowley. “This is about adding voters to the Democratic base.”
Crowley and other Republicans aren’t alone in this assessment, despite the fact the overwhelming majority of Democrats support the president’s plan. But many, even among those who support a bill granting amnesty, are staunchly opposed to this action.
“Let me be clear, I am for comprehensive immigration reform,” said Demcoratic strategist Doug Schoen. “But I am deeply concerned that Monica isn’t overstating this by much.”
Schoen said the results of the election were clear, and that using illegal immigration as a political tool to win future elections, despite the danger of causing great social unrest, is appalling to him and other Democrats.
“He [Obama] is a raging narcissist who doesn’t care if he destroys this country,” said Democratic pollster and strategist Pat Cadell. “This move will tear this country apart.”
DHS also is planning to “promote” the new naturalization process by giving a 50 percent discount on the first 10,000 applicants who come forward, a contemptible move for those who have waited for years to come to the United States legally. There is an exception for those who have income levels above 200 percent of the poverty level.
Tech jobs though a State Department immigrant visa program would offer another half-million immigrants a so-called path to citizenship, and would include their spouses as well.
The other measures include calls to revise removal priorities to target serious criminals for deportation and end the program known as “Secure Communities,” as well as start a new program. However, a report released in May found the Obama administration willingly released thousands of illegal immigrants that were convicted criminals, including murderers and convicted sexual offenders.
White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest, who also faced tough questioning over ObamaCare’s architect recently saying Democrats relied upon “the stupidity of the American voters” to pass the bill, told reporters traveling with Obama in Burma Thursday that the president had not made a final decision, and would not announce one until he returned to Washington.

this is what a nation receives when its under judgement, repent and seek the LORD your GOD
obummer, congress and senate were appointed to prepare this country for destruction, heed warning and seek salvation, those with eyes to see and ears to hear will understand this
Keep the fanatical crap in church buddy.
don't go to pagan institutions it is a synagogue of satan you should fit right in
Okay, sure. Which God? There's plenty to choose from.
"My God has a bigger dick than your God."
-George Carlin (RIP)
Carlin was funny, but with his outlook and quotes like the above I doubt he is resting in peace.
Love it...!!! Too many clueless Bible thumpers...!!!
clueless?
Republicans are stupid beyond belief - hope you enjoy living in Dumfukistan red staters.
Ya the country is really enjoying mass immigration from the shitholes of the earth...
Everyone reading this should call the White House and complain.
Remember, this was released by FOX news....Cant really believe anything from that network.
Except, we have been personally shown the documents. We always verify first, no matter what network it is.
Yes, that's why there are so many links to the underlying sources. This is a Fox "News" story from start to finish, long on scare factor, and short on facts. the biggest fallacy is that anyone subject to deferred deportation would automatically receive a green card, but it goes on and on and on from there.
Accusing someone of writing a Fox News story is like accusing someone of racism. You don't need to provide any evidence and then you walk away thinking you won the fight, when all you've done is prove you can't argue.
Now that the plan has come out publicly, this article is looking very accurate.
Uh, it's happening, believe it...
But you can sure believe that "you can keep your health plan."
I guess you can wait for the welfare and health care subsidy rolls to suddenly swell by 5 million or so and then you can wake up.
the rolls have sweeled because of the republicans policies that drove our economy into the ground!!! but eh lets just blame everything on Obama...I find most of you hypocrites apparently under the republicans it's ok for them to take away pensions, healthcare but yet we pay for millionares lifetime pensions, their subsidized healthcare and on top of that these idiotic republicans decide when they feel like they want to work & their going to scream at democrats!!! give me a break, I'm an independent but come on wake up they want to take away ss, medicare, take people off disability, how the hell do these guys sleep at night, why don't they cut where they s/be like the pentagon budgets,etc, but that's where their corporate buddies make their big bucks....
Typical liberal rant. Si it is still Bush's fault?
Rants from a RTIQI Liberal. (Room Temperature IQ Idiot)
Rich- In case you hadn't noticed, we just recovered from 8 years of hell that was BushRummeyCheney They really were to blame. They never apologized, which means they would do it all again. It's not a "liberal" thing to want safety from people that do stupid things that get people killed. Blame is what you get when you never acknowledge your mistakes.
More lies. More Grubers. We have not recovered from the 8 trillion in debt we were grubered in to.
I don't agree with frivolous spending on either side of the isle, but we need to get able bodied people off of disability and welfare.
Set up a watchdog organization to do that before expanding those programs... no fines, just a lifetime ban if abuse is found
I like the ban idea. Although we are talking about government. They would screw it up , and good people would suffer.
Flagging because you don't agree with someone's comment isn't appropriate. There was nothing out of line with Yutah's comment.
The housing market collapsed as a direct result of Bill Clinton, Barney Frank, et al forcing lenders to lend to people who could not afford to purchase homes. Their house of cards and the security instruments traded on those mortgages took down the economy of the world. Now employment participation is down big leading to "unemployment" falling. This is seriously not a good thing at all. The administration has taken careers and turned them into part-time, temporary, low-wage survival jobs. The left calls this "jobs growth" when people have to work two or three horrible jobs just to survive. Housing is flat and interest rates are low, but purchase mortgages are at the lowest level in 19 years. Rents are way up, because so few people can now buy. Economic activity is slowing again, reflected in falling petroleum prices as demand falls. The administration wants to grant blanket amnesty to illegal aliens since the election is over, which will force wages lower for middle class workers and lower class workers. The financial markets have been pumped-up by millions per month of "stimulus", which has been good for those in the market right now, but not a good thing at all in the long run. The market is like an addict, and the drug is stimulus. Withdrawal is likely to be a major bummer. Obama is not fixing the economy, but is saddling the cyclical recovery with an enormous amount of additional debt, taxes, regulation the likes of which the US of A has never seen before, and the danger of exploding inflation. The next downturn will be a very bumpy ride as a result. In the meantime, we have the slowest recovery in modern times. Hillary pretty much expressed the true belief of the extreme left when she said that businesses do not create jobs. That is also what Obama meant with his statement that people in business, "didn't build that". These people believe in their hearts that Government creates all jobs. They believe business is bad and evil. It does help to explain why the recovery from this recession is historically slow. The people in charge now do not believe in private enterprise.
The most telling statistic is that 1% of the people have received 95% of the growth of the economy since 2008. That is entirely due to governmental policies that allow the richest people to avoid taxes and take the entire pie for themselves. And those policies are almost entirely attributable to the Repubican Party.
We can argue all day about who is responsible for the recession, but no matter how you slice it, long after Clinton left office, the Republicans controlled the White House and both houses of Congress. They didn't do diddley-dick to fix things when they had the chance. And in addition, they strongly opposed and continue to oppose legislation to rein-in investment banks and their speculative conduct, which is what most people believe led to the 2007-2008 melt-down.
Actually policies about making risky mortgages to unqualified home buyers was put in place by Clinton....
The left will only begin to complain when the gravy train STOPS. This move brings that day a LOT closer. Obama does not care about people - he is an ideologue who wants America to represent what his dear old dad said was a good thing. Socialism if not outright Communism. And the stupid, careless, lazy people in this country went along - not once but TWICE. When those immigrants find they got to the trough late they are really going to be pissed. THEN they'll start just taking what others have outright.
You must be one of the voters Gruber was refering to.
you are obviously very agitated and unable to do much more than spew a repeat of the msnbc talking points you watch every day. I feel sorry for you. So tell me oh wise one...how is giving working papers to people working off the books for years going to help the economy? Maybe you can start with how 5 million illegals are going to find work in a country that doesn't have jobs for legals? Are you really that stupid that you think you are paying for a millionaire's pension? Show me that math.
But you believe what you are told by MSNBC and CNN? Or even better do you believe a word from the POTUS' mouth?
Or does he have eyes? And the ability to do basic math because you don't need any news outlet to tell you something is wrong with our immigration.
The only thing wrong is the refusal to enforce the current policy and law. Go ahead and make stuff up though by all means nobody believes the lies any more.
Keep drinking the juice.
You have been told to only pay attention to "approved" news sources, and you have obeyed. Good little Obamabot!
Reuters is also reporting it.
That was a pointless, stupid comment. You are a jerk.
Do you really need for someone to tell you that immigration is a problem? Rofl, some of you people have your head in the sand....just look around
The problem is only the refusal to enforce current immigration policy and law.
Gruber calls you stupid and you back it up with more stupid. You think Fox news is Grubering you. When are you going to get it? Your Grubers are lying to you about everything. Fox news is far more trustworthy than the administration you support. If I compare how many times Fox news has lied to how many times the community organizer and his minions have lied, Democrats win the lying contest every time. So, give it up. It was all lies and it's getting worse.
Conspiracy theory? Fox is conspiring against you? Fabricating stories to when Obama is just trying to a poor little machine politician from the Chicago ghetto ..?? Just a simple Jeremiah Wright church member trying to do a few rounds of golf? King Obama .. Dick Tater .. what's 34 million or so? McDonalds needs them right?
So we should listen to the Liberal press, msnbc or Huffington post?
Maybe you could just read and try to use your brain? Fox thinks for you. The rest, not so much. YOU should make up your own mind, if you have one.
MSNBC has nobody watching lol. If they only reported the news.
And they will be cared for by the still-employed middle class barely making it themselves.
I gotta blame the GOP just as much. Border crossings are way down, we have hundreds of miles of fence, and they still couldn't go along with reforms in the last 6 years.
This is stunning head in the sand. The reason they're down today, is they're all here, including terrorists, as arrests are beginning to reveal. If the democrap is your party, you're in the most deceptive and destructive party in history. GOP is not without its faults and hypocrisies, but nothing approaches the level of blatant in-your-face lies and deception like the dems.
You're clearly not equipped to have a rational debate, keep moving, troll. I meant successful crossings, apprehensions are up for the 3rd straight year. They're not all here (why am I even wasting my time?), the population equivalent of the U.S. sits between our southern border and the northern quarter of South America and most of them would like to be here. Keep making excuses if you want, I won't.
Get off your high horse. Both parties totally blow.
One party blows more than the other. The democrat party.
Oh, you must be a one percenter. Neither party does anything for 99% of the people but I will concede that the Republicans are better off at taking care of the uber rich and foisting the uber rich agenda upon everyone else. Cheers!
You seem to be upset that you didn't get a hand out and you think everyone that worked for anything owes you something. You think we can solve your problem by growing the size of the government, centralizing power, redistributing other people's money, taxing our way out of a deficit and debt, working around the constitution, race baiting, lying under oath, calling the American people stupid, using the IRS as a political tool, blaming the last administration, breaking the law to get your way, starting wars and calling them kinetic engagements to avoid the constitution, refusing to enforce current immigration law and policy and claiming there's a crisis, allowing unknown people to move freely in to our country from foreign lands while others spend thousands of dollars and hours of frustration to do it correctly, allow voter fraud to continue for political gains, total lack of transparency, unlimited golf outings on the tax payer's dime, vacations in Hawaii on the tax payer's dime, visiting Opera on the tax payer's dime, blaming youtube videos for the slaughter of our citizens for political cover, stimulus, son of stimulus, global warming/cooling/trending/polar vortex/tax us to death until we implode and all speak Mandarin. You aren't that rare unfortunately. Your own people call you stupid if you voted for Obamacare. Over and over. Your stupidity is actually the success of the Democrat party. Go figure.
LOL if you believe one is any different from the other then I would say you sir are the one with your head in the sand.
No, not just "any different" lol. I could've maybe swallowed that. But "nothing approaches" the blah, blah, disingenuous hyperbole, blah, blah hahaha
really!! well the reason a lot of the terrorist is here is because of Bush &Cheney;s illegal war, that's what started this whole situation & now the US is stuck because of their crap!
The war was not illegal. It was fully supported by all. Approved by congress. Grow up and stop the grubering.
And how many terrorists have come across the Mexican border (Hint - 0). They don't need to sneak across the border, they get visas from Saudi Arabia and other US "allies" in the middle east.
You probably either haven't kept up with the news about captured terrorists that had smuggled across the border, or your a democrap, which means digesting selective spin that you think you understand, and spewing out spin you don't.
Lies from people who know nothing of the constitution nor law.
The destroyer is about to turn uglier. If this mass amnesty goes ahead, consider paying higher federal and local taxes to cater for the illegals. Consider facing higher competition just to get your children places in schools near you, consider higher rents, higher healthcare costs. And the list goes on and on. It's all about making Americans a working class society. Seriously this guy should be impeached before it gets nasty.
The sky is falling, the sky is falling....
After what President Polk did to these people, I don't blame them for jumping the border and making your life very uncomfortable.
Data... was recently used by The Washington Post to demonstrate that non-U.S. citizens easily explain President Obama’s tiny 2008 margin in North Carolina and Missouri, now-Sen. Al Franken’s that same year, and many others. In North Carolina, alone, officials found at least 145 illegal aliens registered to vote, and who were only in the country due to President Obama’s 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals executive order.
What? Illegal aliens who voted in 2008 were here due to action Obama took in 2012? Did anyone even bother to proofread this garbage or did they just pull this article out of their rear?
It's been updated to specifically reference 2014 in the case of North Carolina, which was a linked resource, for those like you who couldn't infer and need it spelled out.
It's your right not to read "the garbage" that keeps you informed on the actual truth. You are free to keep drinking the Kool-Aid with the mainstream media. By all means, it's still America.
That Washington Post 'article' is full of nothing but garbage presumptions about what may have possibly happened. No actual facts there, Richard.
when you say officials why don't you prove it instead of more constant lies, your so full of crap it smells way over here............................ Oboma has deported more illegals than previous presidents so why don't you just shut your mouth, typcal republican crap, but eh they can try to stop the people from voting w/their illegal ways but that's ok w/you eh!!!!
Rants from a ROOM TEMPERATURE IQ IDIOT LIBERAL
You are such a dumb cluck.
Most of the formerly illegal aliens who are voting are doing so due to Ronald Reagan signing the amnesty act of 1986. Not only did this create a massive number of voters plus it triggered a massive wave on new illegal immigrants that lasted for a decade. What has occurred under the Obama administration is tiny compared to what happened while Reagan was President.
Thank you Obama! :)
Thank you to Obama! Now 5 million immigrants get to feel the American Dream. 5 Million more eligible for legal work, 5 million more to experience the american quality of life. All the negativity in something so positive? Have you no sense of compassion for humanity? Security purposes? In God we Trust.
American dream is a nightmare now, so let them come experience the nightmare.
They could equally experience the dream from where they come from. Does the word ILLEGAL has any meaning to you at all. These are law breakers for crying out loud. If we reward ILLEGAL activities, we're bound to have more invasion to a point we can't control.
In fact, if we gave them what they dream for, they would no longer be "dreamers". Then we can deport them.
