According to Democratic lawmaker Tony Cardenas, Obama will soon use his ´pen and phone´ and bypass Congress with an executive order to grant amnesty to many illegals.
Cardenas states he can only legally grant amnesty to 1 million illegals, but we know how much this president likes to obey the law.
Of course Obama wants all illegals to stay in the country. Whatever action he takes, one assumes he will leave the door open to grant amnesty to all.
Democratic lawmaker Tony Cardenas revealed that President Barack Obama promised the Congressional Hispanic Caucus on Wednesday he will “act shortly” to bypass Congress and grant some form of amnesty to many illegal immigrants.
Cardenas spoke with MSNBC’s Jose Diaz-Balart on Thursday about a meeting the Hispanic Caucus had with the president on Wednesday concerning the growing border crisis and comprehensive immigration reform.
The California congressman claimed that Obama committed to broad executive action on immigration reform — including granting legal status to hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants without congressional approval — and that such action will come “shortly.”
“It’s important to understand that the president made it very clear to the Hispanic Caucus yesterday that Congress is not acting,” Cardenas explained. “He let Speaker Boehner know many, many months ago to please go ahead and do something. He has not done it. And now’s the time for the president to act, and the president’s going to act shortly.”
“Do you know what actions the president will be taking?” a surprised Diaz-Balart asked. “I mean, the president has said to me in the past, he has said — and I’m quoting the president in the three last interviews we had — he said, ‘I’m not a king, I’m a president. There are only a few things I can do unilaterally.’”
Cardenas said the president agreed to use his “legal authority and latitude” to “give people some kind of status to the 11 million who are waiting to get some relief.”
“Not all of them,” the Democratic lawmaker explained. “The power of the president cannot relieve all 11 million. But there are categories of 500,000 or a million that he can give some kind of temporary status to.”
Im tired of paying for these people hello we don’t even have jobs for are own people ass
another right wing bold ass lie you tea turds are so full of it
No he doesn’t have to bypass congress Sheesh if you admins even had 1 clue about anything you talk about you might’ve known this. I guess it’s a good thing your base is nothing but a bunch of mindless idiots who want to blame everything on the president just because he is other then white. Yes I said that you bunch of racist $#%&!@*s, want proof this thread alone is enough you are blaming him for sheet you saint Georgey Boy put into place! “The William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008,” one part has provisions for unaccompanied illegal immigrants under age 18, which must “be promptly placed in the least restrictive setting that is in the best interest of the child.”
Doesn’t it mention something about the conditions of the country they left. I don’t believe that inferring amnesty in our country was part of it.
Obama is President not King.
obama is a megalomaniac with delusions of grandeur. he thinks laws are only meant for everyone but him. i will celebrate the day someone shoots him.they shot kennedy for far less than what this putz has done
When you elect the $#%&!@*…you expect to get $#%&!@* in return.
FN traitor!!
I see that a lot of Al Qaeda members like to post their hatred for our country and their racism here. Why don’t you all go to your hero Putin’s country?
So if up to we the poeple to stand to gather and make them go home or make it a blood bath I’m for what ever comes first.
