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.”
Ok well bypass congress and throw his ass out of office simple .. Get rid of his ass and tell him he’s lucky to be alive treason is a hanging offense..
Dislike this move. I’m not a racist. I hate everyone in our government equally. What this says is, I will take care of illegals before MY veterans, elderly and poor. Bad form!
Will be strong pushback from the country and the courts.
not true.it’s amazing what npeople will believe
I read all the posts from this lie and see that we have a lot of people that will believe anything that liars say about Obama because they hate blacks.I’m glad i left the republican party!They are a bunch of idiots
How is he going to pick 1 million people and what about the children that remain locked up
the president doesn’t not have legislative powers
Ronnie….good riddens $#%&!@*
The posts above show that education matters
Our illegal alien problem is being misrepresented – simply put illegals would not be coming here if they couldn’t get jobs – therefore we have a illegal employer problem – if we had strict enforcement and heavy penalties for those who are found employing illegals then they would not be able to find jobs and they wouldn’t be coming here
