Obama to announce 10-point immigration plan via exec action as early as next week
2014-11-14
[FOXNEWS] President B.O. is planning to unveil a 10-part plan for overhauling U.S. immigration policy via executive action -- including suspending deportations for millions -- as early as next Friday, a source close to the White House told Fox News.

The president's plans were contained in a draft proposal from a U.S. government agency. The source said the plan could be announced as early as Nov. 21, though the date might slip a few days pending final White House approval.

Obama was briefed at the White House by Homeland Security officials before leaving on his Asia-Pacific trip last week, Fox News has learned.

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest told news hounds traveling with Obama in Burma Thursday that the president had not made a final decision on any executive actions concerning immigration and would not announce any until he returned to Washington.

The draft plan, though, contains 10 initiatives that span everything from boosting border security to improving pay for immigration officers.

But the most controversial pertain to the millions who could get a deportation reprieve under what is known as "deferred action."

#8  Should be immediately challenged in court by Congress as exceeding the seperation of powers as put forth in the Constitution.

#7  Basically, Obama has given all these illegals a vote in our country's affairs. They have voted for amnesty. Immigrations lawyers and organizations like La Raza, etc. have trumped citizen's votes. None of us (citizens, voters and taxpayers) gets a vote on amnesty--all because Obama dictatorially exercises an Executive Order. This is insane.

#6  Have they shown the 10 points yet? We need to take a deep breath, see what he's doing. The republicans are all spun into a tizzy, Obama is playing them like a fiddle!

#5  Obama is talking 5 million. GUTIERREZ wants 20 million.

Why?

Because GUTIERREZ wants to run for the Presidency and illegals are his only ticket to the White House.

#4  He'll unveil 10, then back off on a few and call them his concessions and demand similar Republican concessions.
It's a win-win for him: either he gets his immigration 'reform' or he gets to tar the Republicans as evil racists, and lock in the Latin vote for generations, just like happened with the black vote nearly 50 years ago when some Republicans opposed the Civil Rights Act (even though opposition was not on racial grounds.)

#2  The latter could allow upwards of 4.5 million illegal immigrant adults with U.S.-born children to stay, according to estimates.

Critics in the Senate say those who receive deferred action, according to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, receive work authorization in the United States, Social Security numbers and government-issued IDs.

Well, at least they shant be 'deprived' of their 'right' to vote by not having an ID. Faked out the Trunks that time, dincha, Champ?

Which make me wonder, why didn't he add 4.5 million (D) voters before the mid-term elections?

#1  Pubs must take a deep breath and remain calm. Champ's goal is to implode the country and establish martial law. Obviously, this must be avoided or we'll never be rid of him.
