"Are you telling me if he does his immigration plan that he is breaking the law.? Too soon to tell, unless you've seen it. If it is "arrest these people last", it is legal. If he says "here are citizenship papers for everybody", it is against the law.

<< That just is not true. The way the law was written it gives the Executive, any executive!; great discretion. I saw that exact point discussed today. No, it doesn't. He can modify the law but he can't change the basic intent of the law." He is not changing the law, he is using his legal discretion. Bush did it too. Are you telling me if he does his immigration plan that he is breaking the law.? That is what the Republican's are saying. No, I am not saying that. What I am saying he can't change the law with an executive order; he can only modify it temporarily: Although Obama is not able to grant citizenship or permanent resident green cards on his own without Congress, he can offer temporary protection from deportation along with work authorization, as he has done in the past. ****************************************************************** "This is definitely a step in the right direction and we would still encourage the administration to go even bigger than the estimated 5 million," said Kica Matos, of the Fair Immigration Reform Movement. "This is a temporary fix** and Republicans need to understand that the immigrant rights movement intends to wage a ferocious fight until we have permanent solution and that is through legislation." news.yahoo.com
