Obama won't pardon illegal immigrants because that wouldn't stop Trump from deporting them
2016-12-04
[DailyMail] President Obama won't use his pardon authority to protect millions of immigrants who came here illegally because the action would not confer 'legal status.'

  • President Obama has protected millions of immigrants without proper documents from deportation through executive actions

  • President-elect has vowed to undo many of his executive actions

  • A senior policy advisor says Obama will not use his pardon authority because it does not 'confer legal status'

  • Said a pardon won't protect 'a single soul' from deportation

    #6  I love how P2K thinks! Mass pardon of crime of not having insurance per Obamacare! Mass pardon for transgender "prejudice" and "bias"!

    The point is that the pardon can only pardon PAST crimes, so Trump give them all 30 days to self-deport or they are guilty of a new crime that could not have been covered by the previous pardon.

    #5  Carter pardons draft dodgers Jan. 21, 1977

    Yet another gift by the next to worst president ever.

    #4  Has anyone ever pardoned a group of folks without specific names?

    Said a pardon won't protect 'a single soul' from deportation. So in that case it's more of a "pardon me good sir," than a legal pardon.

    #1  ...but it would start a cascade of mass pardons by who ever holds the executive. You could follow with a pardon for anyone not paying their Obamacare 5k tax. Let the list of mass pardons begin!
