Member | Wed Jun 23 19:04:36 Article I, Section 8 The Congress shall have the power 4. To establish an uniform rule of naturalization, and uniform laws on the subject of bankruptcies throughout the United States: --------------------------------------------- If this turns out to be true it goes beyond anything the President has done so far. Senators Challenge Pres. Obama on Rumors of Amnesty Thorugh Executive Actions Updated Wednesday, June 23, 2010, 10:58 AM EDT - posted on NumbersUSA Several Senators have learned of a possible plan by the Obama Administration that would provide a mass Amnesty for the nation's 11-18 million illegal aliens. Led by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), eight Senators addressed a letter to the President asking for answers to questions about a plan that would allow DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano to provide an amnesty if they can't secure enough votes for a bill in the Senate. (Send this FREE FAX to Pres. Obama expressing your Outrage at the Administration's plans to provide an amnesty for illegal aliens through Executive Order) The letter that was sent to Pres. Obama earlier today asks the President for clarification on the use of deferred action or parole for illegal aliens. The executive actions are typically used in special cases and are evaluated on a case-by-case basis, but if 60 votes can't be secured in the Senate to pass a mass Amnesty, the Administration may use the discretionary actions as an alternative. Here is the text of the letter signed by Sens. Grassley, Hatch (R-Utah), Vitter (R-La.), Bunning (R-Ky.), Chambliss (R-Ga.), Isakson (R-Ga.), Inhofe (R-Okla.), and Cochran (R-Miss.). Dear President Obama: We understand that thereâ??s a push for your Administration to develop a plan to unilaterally extend either deferred action or parole to millions of illegal aliens in the United States. We understand that the Administration may include aliens who have willfully overstayed their visas or filed for benefits knowing that they will not be eligible for a status for years to come. We understand that deferred action and parole are discretionary actions reserved for individual cases that present unusual, emergent or humanitarian circumstances. Deferred action and parole were not intended to be used to confer a status or offer protection to large groups of illegal aliens, even if the agency claims that they look at each case on a â??case-by-caseâ?? basis. While we agree our immigration laws need to be fixed, we are deeply concerned about the potential expansion of deferred action or parole for a large illegal alien population. While deferred action and parole are Executive Branch authorities, they should not be used to circumvent Congressâ?? constitutional authority to legislate immigration policy, particularly as it relates to the illegal population in the United States. The Administration would be wise to abandon any plans for deferred action or parole for the illegal population. Such a move would further erode the American publicâ??s confidence in the federal government and its commitment to securing the borders and enforcing the laws already on the books. We would appreciate receiving a commitment that the Administration has no plans to use either authority to change the current position of a large group of illegal aliens already in the United States, and ask that you respond to us about this matter as soon as possible. Send this FREE FAX to Pres. Obama expressing your Outrage at the Administration's plans to provide an amnesty for illegal aliens through Executive Order http://www...s-executive-order-amnesty.html |

At least Aeros has some sense about this. tumbleweed - just by saying 'amnesty' in the headline you can tell its a biased news source It also said 'rumor' in the title. Now I dont know if the President is planning on doing this or not. Neither does The Senators or The Washington Examiner, but the 'rumor' is a fact. Now just what does bias have to do with that? If this is true it will be the most egregious thing he has done so far, including his crappy health plan. |

I guess intelligence = agreeing with HR "Now I dont know if the President is planning on doing this or not. Neither does The Senators or The Washington Examiner, but the 'rumor' is a fact." This is a hilarious non-sequitor. You don't know if this is true. You claimed that no one in the Senate knows this. Therefore, this rumor is now a fact? |

Member | Wed Jun 23 20:11:44 What do you think this means: "We understand that there's a push for your Administration to develop a plan to unilaterally extend either deferred action or parole to millions of illegal aliens in the United States." Or this: "Deferred action and parole were not intended to be used to confer a status or offer protection to large groups of illegal aliens, even if the agency claims that they look at each case on a â??case-by-caseâ?? basis. s a push for your Administration to develop a plan to unilaterally extend either deferred action or parole to millions of illegal aliens in the United States." Do you really think that if this is true that they have examined the individual cases of 11-18 million illegal aliens. Do you think they have files on each of those individuals? |
miltonfriedman
Member | Wed Jun 23 20:15:42 P.S. Only retards would use the following arguments against immigration (legal and undocumented workers): 1. Wages (it has already been shown that undocumented workers do not reduce wages 2. crime (it has already been shown that an increase of undocumented workers do not increase crime) 3. public finance (it has already been shown that undocumented workers generated MORE than what they have taken out of the public finance) 4. White race. Yes, this is the only argument that hasn't been refuted by scientists. So, if you used reasons 1-3, you are just ignorant of the issue. But I found that those who agree with point 4 tend to use points 1-3 as a shield. Luckily, points 1-3 have all been refuted by economists. |

Does the President have the moral right to circumvent The Constitution with an Executive Order without following the accepted and traditional use of such an EO in this case? |

What does matter is that people are going through the process of trying to get into the country legally and these illegal immigrants are hendering their efforts. "Luckily, points 1-3 have all been refuted by economists. " Not across all spectrums of society you will find in the United States. Again it doesn't matter though as they shouldn't be here anyway. Even if they were shitting gold and using it to pay off the governments debts they should be forced back to their country of origin and get in line with the others. I know that is no longer practical, but it is what should be done. What we really need to do is take steps to keep the problem from getting larger. If your basement is flooding you stop the leak before you start bailing water. " comitted genocide on the native people, and stole their land.

Member | Wed Jun 23 21:05:34 Seriously? You're going to do this? Try to follow this logic. You just said that you are uncertain if this rumor is untrue or not. I make a point that Bush wanted to give amnesty to illegal immigrants too. That's your beef, right? You don't want any amnesty whatsoever. Either by EO or by congress. You went on to claim that Bush didn't talk about passing it by EO. I asked how do you know he didn't entertain this notion? And now you're asking me for the source. Hello, brain dead moron. For once in your miserable existence think about what you've said. I can easily ask you to provide sources that he didn't entertained about amnesty to illegals via EO. Oh shit! What do we do now? |

Ergo, they should be given a mean to stay here legally. Of course, now some people will say "how about the legal immigrants?" The immigration system is broken - hence this "rumor" about amnesty is running wild among some faggoty semi-illiterate Republicans. If the system works perfectly, then this rumor wouldn't even come into existence. "Not across all spectrums of society you will find in the United States." I agree. Not everyone agrees with the results published by economists. Some people still believe in eugenics and creationism too. I don't care for those people. Globalization and an increased pressure on science and mathematical education will weed those semi-illiterate Republicans out eventually. |

Honestly, it's not unconstitutional until the Supreme Court says so. You are in no position to make that judgment.

But there is no other practical way of removing them. But there are better solutions to address the matter now with the current ones and make it where in the future it will be more difficult to let anyone freely into the country. And I didn suggest shit. I said that Bush wanted to give amnesty and asked where was your outrage on this board when that happened? You were the one with "insider information" thay he didn't ever considered EO regarding the matter. Wow, seriously wow. |

That's weird. You asked me if illegal immigrants can legally stay here, to which I answered yes. You did not ask if all legal activities are legal in American jurisprudence. Way to move the goalpost.

Just because it is "usually evaluated on a case-by-case basis", does not mean it is so limited. If in fact the power of "deferred action or parole for illegal aliens" is legal, what is unconstitutional about the use of that for anyone who can establish that they were here before X date?

Member | Wed Jun 23 22:26:42 "An executive order in the United States is an order issued by the President, the head of the executive branch of the federal government. In other countries, similar edicts may be known as decrees, or orders-in-council. Executive orders may also be issued at the state level by a state's Governor or at the local level by the city's Mayor. U.S. Presidents have issued Executive Orders since 1789, usually to help officers and agencies of the Executive branch manage the operations within the Federal Government itself. Executive orders do have the full force of law since issuances are typically made in pursuance of certain Acts of Congress, some of which specifically delegate to the President some degree of discretionary power (delegated legislation), or are believed to have their authority for issuances based in a power inherently granted to the Executive by the Constitution. It is these cited or perceived justifications made by a President when authoring Executive Orders that have come under criticism for exceeding Executive authority and have been subject to legal proceedings even at various times throughout U.S. history concerning the legal validity or justification behind an order's issuance." "Basis in U.S. Constitution U.S. Presidents have issued Executive Orders since 1789. Although there is no Constitutional provision or statute that explicitly permits Executive Orders, there is a vague grant of "executive power" given in Article II, Section 1, Clause 1 of the Constitution, and furthered by the declaration "take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed" made in Article II, Section 3, Clause 4.

Member | Wed Jun 23 22:32:58 I have not, in this thread (and rarely in general) just thrown up facts without providing context to those facts. So, what do those facts to do answer the question of my post? ""I never said it was unconstitutional. I said an EO to parden millions of illegals with a simple signature circumvent The Constitution. " Can you please clear this up? How can something circumvent the constitution and not be unconstitutional? Honestly HR, I don't know if such a use would in fact be legal but you're not making sense there. " |

Member | Wed Jun 23 22:35:27 On a serious note. And I think milton can confirm this... Rod, did or did you not try to have a disccusion with Byron on now Obama was, in your words, 'circumventing the constitution by possibly passing h.r. 675 which violates P C. Which in turn ,again in your words, was 'unconstitional'. And here we are again presented where you are claiming once again that this president is 'circumventing' the constitution and now its not unconstitutional just only 'immoral' due to the oath he's taken? |

Member | Wed Jun 23 22:41:11 "The "accepted and traditional use of such an EO" is for a case by case basis. Not for a blanket use applying to millions of illegals without having studied their individual cases." You want me to explain it word for word? This is what an EO is, not a means to get around the legislative process. Do you remember what Senator Kyl said the other day? Start at 3min 15 Sec. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpyrlX52TwA Wed Jun 23 22:26:42 "An executive order in the United States is an order issued by the President, the head of the executive branch of the federal government. In other countries, similar edicts may be known as decrees, or orders-in-council. Executive orders may also be issued at the state level by a state's Governor or at the local level by the city's Mayor. U.S. Presidents have issued Executive Orders since 1789, usually to help officers and agencies of the Executive branch manage the operations within the Federal Government itself. Executive orders do have the full force of law since issuances are typically made in pursuance of certain Acts of Congress, some of which specifically delegate to the President some degree of discretionary power (delegated legislation), or are believed to have their authority for issuances based in a power inherently granted to the Executive by the Constitution. It is these cited or perceived justifications made by a President when authoring Executive Orders that have come under criticism for exceeding Executive authority and have been subject to legal proceedings even at various times throughout U.S. history concerning the legal validity or justification behind an order's issuance." "Basis in U.S. Constitution U.S. Presidents have issued Executive Orders since 1789. Although there is no Constitutional provision or statute that explicitly permits Executive Orders, there is a vague grant of "executive power" given in Article II, Section 1, Clause 1 of the Constitution, and furthered by the declaration "take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed" made in Article II, Section 3, Clause 4. At the minimum, most Executive Orders use these Constitutional reasonings as the authorization allowing for their issuance to be justified as part of the President's sworn duties,[1] the intent being to help direct officers of the US Executive carry out their delegated duties as well as the normal operations of the Federal Government - the consequence of failing to comply possibly being the removal from office." |

Member | Wed Jun 23 22:50:18 I never used the word circumventing. I said it would be the death knell for Posse Comitatus if I remember correctly. |

Member | Wed Jun 23 22:51:03 But an EO would be nothing more than a formal statement that he will "defer action or parole for illegal aliens". It wouldn't be the EO that officially did anything but the successive executive acts to apply the already established legal method. Your freak out over the EO is irrelevant. |
The Guardian
Member | Wed Jun 23 22:52:56 And my reasoning was that the Department of Defense does not have any Constitutional right to have police authority over civilians off federal property except under certain conditions. |
The Guardian
Member | Wed Jun 23 22:56:25 All you have to do is remember what is being said in the thread. "Several Senators have learned of a possible plan by the Obama Administration that would provide a mass Amnesty for the nation's 11-18 million illegal aliens." Did you even read the OP? |

TG knows that there is no constitutional issue involved, so he invented a new way to attack Obama in the form of "circumventing the Constitution." |

Member | Wed Jun 23 23:04:10 I dont think I used the word 'circumventing.' If I did that was a different situation with different parameters. It has nothing to do with this. |

Member | Wed Jun 23 23:04:27 That was the whole point of h.r. 675. Any property under dept of defense that had a police force was granted all police authority. It didn't mean that all police agences for dept of defense could go to some po dunk town in oklahoma and arrest joe blow for running a stop sign. Which was your argument thank you very much. Let's see if that thread can be ressurrected. I remember you using that term. And to be honest considering the bullshit you've been spouting. I'm think I'm gonna take my word over yours. LOL. |

miltonfriedman
Member | Wed Jun 23 23:12:26 Look, I think it's pretty clear that TG created this thread not to discuss the legality of the action that Obama is "rumored" to take (since he admitted that it is not unconstitutional) but to invent yet another way to attack Obama. It's just too bad that undocumented workers become the collateral damage in TG's political vendetta. It's sad, really, since we really need to fix the immigration system and a healthy debate is what we really need. |
