Impeach. Impeach and imprison

"In his statement, Obama announced he was ordering a shift in security resources to border regions, and he promised the additional action he can take "without Congress but within his existing authorities to fix as much of our broken immigration system as we can.""

Well, that was vague.
 
My suggestion is we wait until he actually issues an executive order, read it, then decide if he violated the constitution.

His job is not to dictate what the law is, what he will or wont enforce. This should be the last straw for all Americans. Sadly too many ignore history and cheer destructiin thrould blind ignorance

List of Presidents and their executive orders.

As you can see, by looking at the numbers, Obama is very modest. The question is, how much influence do these executive orders impose compared to the past?

I think it is good that the American people are troubled by this. Hopefully one day the people will stop the "all of our computers broke down at the same time" stories from working, and stop the government from doing whatever they want to do. Because right now the government can do whatever it wishes, and it knows it. We can't trust people from the government to oversee itself; we have to as a people keep the government accountable.

The GOP is clownish but what do you expect - furthermore it wasn't the "GOP" that obstructed it was the libertarians and the tea party.

That's right he can't, but he can order to have more immigration judges which would speed up the deportation process.

Our president picks and chooses what laws he wants to follow.So why would anyone with a brain in their head who is actually against illegal immigration and amnesty trust that our president would uphold both sides of this so called immigration reform compromise?

Implement Sen. Rubio's bi-partisan Immigration law from last year as an executive order.
Let Boehner sue and we'll see how America votes in November .

So you would like to see America vote on whether the US Constitution is just a rag made of old paper?

Well that too, but I believe he's going to increase the number of judges. At least that's what I heard on the radio this morning.

What Obama can do, and has been doing, is insuring that the laws already on the books are not enforced. That is why we have a country filled with illegals.

90% of those who have been given a date to appear before an immigration judge don't show up and Obama knows it.

That's what Obama plans to do with all of these underage illegal aliens. They will be given a date to appear before the court and released into our society and will go into hiding until they are awarded amnesty.
