Should Obama have by-passed Congress to unconstitutionally give amnesty and work permits to 800,000 illegal aliens?

We have enough off our own people out of work. Along with this comes trouble.He doesn't care and the more he does before the electrion the more we will suffer if the scumbag gets re-elected!

I really think you and persons like you need to take a closer look at the issue. The situation with jobs and the illegal aliens in question is not anything like what you suggest with your post. If anybody wants the jobs you try and put in question, most of them are easily obtainable jobs, so long as you can hack the long hours, low pay, the jobs offer. Deport all of the illegals (they've been unsucessful at that for decades, and it not going to change much for creating the jobs this country needs.

Not his job

The president of the United States of America should be for the people of the United States of America first and foremost.

Sounds good enough, don't it. Problem is it does concern people that have lived and worked here their whole lives. That statement had more clout about why we went to war in Iraq, where were the statements then. I don't doubt most who would agree with the statement above were waving flags with patriotic spirit a number of times, so long as it was a republican that made a decision.

How bout if Reagan made a simular decision about immigration?

The initial move into Iraq was the right move. After that, almost all the wrong decisions were made. Somewhere in GW Bushs' records or the white house archives is a letter from me admonoshing Bush for both his immigration and Iraq policies. As for Reagan's mistake, he pardoned 2.7 million illegal immigrants and trusted that the other side would live up to its end of the bargain and start enforcing immigration laws. He was a fool to think that would ever last.

Your initial comment struck me as a very broad generalization that could be applied to any issue, and very well argued for both sides of most issues.

What Reagan did does demonstrate a very old issue with similar remedies. I don't agree with what Obama did, but for different reason than many. I don't disagree with Obama's reasoning, I do disagree with how he did. I feel most commenting on this question are just riding the Obama Hate wagon, that bothers me.

I can appreciate the fact your motivated enough to write our President expressing your views, no doubt you were able to express those views in professional manor worth consideration. Peace to you, have a good day.

Thanks. I do tend to over simplify sometimes. I'm only a second generation citizen myself. My wife was not born here. So I do think immigration is a good thing. But we still need laws that are taken seriously. I'm all for changing through due process but, like you, I do not like the pick and choose method of law enforcement.
(I used to go to Paul Bunyan land when I was little. That was eons ago when I was a kid and it was still in town.)

Well I hope we get a President soon.

Whether it was legal or illegal does no good for americans out of work.. Vote the usuper out America.

Putting effort in deporting the illegals in question will do nothing for Americans out of work either.

so,whats the answer concerning illegals

I feel Obama has the right idea, I don't agree with how he went about it. In most the cases of the individuals to be considered in this debate, letting them continue their lives here in the States with opportunity to gain citizenship I believe the right thing to do.
It's an old issue with similar solutions

If I had the answers, maybe I should run for President....LOL....

The reason he did it was to undercut Marco Rubio (Republican - Florida)'s bill to have a system for non-criminal immigrants to approach citizenship. Of course, Obama fears Rubio as a potential running mate to Romney. So, instead of giving Rubio a (constitutionally ALLOWED because Congress would do it) bi-partisan win that he could take to the Romney ticket and to the Nation, Obama illegally shut Rubio off the Romney ticket by denying him that sort of win.

First, prove illegal's actually have VOTED, that means pull a lever, punch a card, etc Not just that an illegal has Registered to Vote (Big difference) and you win afew points.
Then prove " provided you prove the latter" that so called fraudulent votes by illegals has been a factor in any political race, then maybe you'll have a valid case for your blog..

Other wise its just as dumb as the rest..

As for the Constitutionality of it, that's debatable depending on who you ask and how they lean... We'll see what happens if its challenged untll that happens its all speculation.

Obama’s Immigration Policy Shift Was Legal, But Was It Proper?
"In an interview with me just now, Mark Shurtleff, Utah’s conservative Republican attorney general, dismissed those objections, arguing the move was perfectly within Obama’s powers, good law enforcement policy, and even a “conservative” solution."

“This is clearly within the president’s power,” Shurtleff said. “I was pleased when the president announced it



We don't have the resources to deport all illegals and we're never going to deport all of them, deal with it...

Many families are mixed legal and illegal so the ones that are legal will vote for anyone who offers amnesty. If we enforce immigration laws then illegal immigrants will self deport. I'm all for work permits and legal immigration but the fact that this problem was ignored by many in both parites until the problem became "too big to handle" and now we are told to "deal with it because it's too big to handle" really leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Children get a Social security card shortly after birth, whether your parents are legal or not. Many children of illegal aliens have voted.

There are too many Americans out of work, losing there homes, cars, etc. Can't even feed the kids they have.. What an embarrassment to the US White house he is. We are talked about all over the world, and being laughed at because of him. I was over seas early in the year, and that's the first thing someone asked me, was about HIM, and I didn't even know those people.

he should have rightly taken this to congress..

He did! In fact this law was a bill the Republicans started?I can count 5 times he presented this bill, but the Republican run Congress chose to ignore it and went on vacation! Read, your community library has everything on file.

Common sense...follow the Rule of Law... bark..p.s. O is one and done..

No, this jerk does whatever he feels like doing.

It was a wholesale abrogation of Federal Law....

one thing is that Crime pays in the US now. as we seen where the illegals got 4.1 billion back in fraud tax returns and the goverment dont want to prosecute them. and if you are here illegally dont worry we will give you amnesty or whatever you need, dont worry about trying to be legal, no need to. if you need welfare or whatever just ask and have a baby here illegally, and the sky is the limit. i dont see why impeachment is not being done to obama, but our goverment is just sitting back saying you cant do that, well show him he cant do it. impeach him. no wonder the politicans dont want to have voters ID then the illegals couldnt vote as easy or use someone elses name or dead names. what a great country it is if you are illegal. and the mexican president dictates our president on what to do, go to mexico and violate the immigration law and see what happens,you go to jail. but here you get rewarded with whatever

The POS should be concerned about Americans that are out of work instead of buying votes by Executive Order. Obama it a total unAmerican disgrace.

Once again BHO shows the American people that he does not care about them or the law.

Obie should be IMPEACHED!

Deported back to Kenya after lengthy prison term.

Im not paying for his term in Prison!! Just get him the H__ out of the USA and back where he came from!

You mean Hawaii? I'd move to Hawaii if you pay for it. Hell yeah!

No Kenya

My mother was born in Alaska before it became a state. She has a territorial birth certificate that looks very different from my Alaska birth certificate numbered 0000006. But my new updated birth certificate looks much different than my old one.

In GITMO.

What he did is illegal. He is trying to circumvent Congress. He is not a King.

I'm thinking he'd do real well running for President of Mexico I'm sure he can provide them with an authentic birth certificate of Mexico as well move over Calderone Obama's coming

The Supreme Court has ruled that the Congressional power to regulate naturalization, from Article 1, Section 8, includes the power to regulate immigration (see, for example, Hampton v. Mow Sun Wong, 426 U.S. 88 [1976]).

Not in any way is what the dictator in chief did right. This must be repealed. However, it is further proof of just how clueless Obama is when it comes to unemployment.
