Obama can't get an immigration plan through congress. So, he says to hell with them, and finds a way around them. After all, the framers were just too hung up on that checks and balances thing. No doubt if they were here today, and could only see the wonder and greatness that is Barack, they would have no problem with the president taking such liberties with important, nation changing policies. Please! Regardless of one's feelings regarding immigration, people should be concerned about the WH enacting policies of such magnitude.
And, mark my words, he will find a way to have illegals voting for him in 2012. He has a plan, and he has plenty of "Community Orginizations" to enforce it. Felons, Corpses, and cartoon characters voted in the 2008 primary. It's not too big a stretch to have illegals vote. Agency weighs skirting Congress on immigration

WASHINGTON – The Obama administration, unable to push an immigration overhaul through Congress, is considering ways it could go around lawmakers to allow undocumented immigrants to stay in the United States, according to an agency memo. The internal draft written by officials at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services outlines ways that the government could provide "relief" to illegal immigrants — including delaying deportation for some, perhaps indefinitely, or granting green cards to others — in the absence of legislation revamping the system. It's emerging as chances fade in this election year for a measure President Barack Obama favors to put the nation's estimated 12 million undocumented immigrants on a path to legal status, and as debate rages over an Arizona law targeting people suspected of being in the country illegally. The 11-page internal memo, written in April to the agency's director, says: "This memorandum offers administrative relief options to promote family unity, foster economic growth, achieve significant process improvements and reduce the threat of removal for certain individuals present in the United States without authorization." It goes on: "In the absence of comprehensive immigration reform, USCIS can extend benefits and/or protections to many individuals or groups." The memo provoked a backlash by Republicans who called it evidence that Obama is looking for ways of relaxing immigration policies without political consensus to enact a new law. "The document provides an additional basis for our concerns that the administration will go to great lengths to circumvent Congress and unilaterally execute a backdoor amnesty plan," said Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, who obtained and circulated the memo. "The problem remains that if you reward illegality, you get more of it." Grassley led a group of conservative GOP senators who wrote to Obama in June asking him to promise that the administration wouldn't use its authority to "change the current position of a large group of illegal aliens already in the United States."

I can't see That One actually doing this. This is the same coward who voted Present all those times. Plus, he won't be able to blame anyone when the sht hits the fan, as it inevitably will.
I hope it's a really big fan, too. Cause Obama has stirred up a whole lotta ****.
