The Patriot Post® · Amnesty by Executive Order

Amnesty may be coming without Congress. According to a White House release, Barack Obama is looking at how to manage the deportation system “more humanely within the confines of the law.” The White House announced the shift after the president met with three leading members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. The statement said, “The president emphasized his deep concern about the pain too many families feel from the separation that comes from our broken immigration system.” Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) in particular couldn’t understand why Obama could issue waivers and delays on ObamaCare and yet not change the immigration system on his own. A fair point – when the “confines of the law” don’t actually confine a president, where is the line?
