BREAKING: Obama to make illegal immigration announcement Thursday night

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama is set on Thursday to outline a controversial plan to relax U.S. immigration policy and grant relief from deportation to as many as 5 million undocumented immigrants in a go-it-alone move that will deepen a partisan divide with Republicans.

Sources close to the administration said the rollout would include a televised speech by Obama on Thursday night laying out the plan followed by a trip to Las Vegas on Friday to build support. Nevada is home to the highest proportion of undocumented immigrants in the country.

The White House declined to comment on the specific timing of the announcement but officials have made clear Obama was planning to take executive action soon. Some conservative Republicans have threatened to try to thwart the immigration move by imposing funding restrictions in a must-pass spending bill, which could conceivably raise the possibility of a government shutdown.

Frustrated by years of congressional inaction on what most in Washington agree is a broken immigration system, Obama is planning to issue a reprieve from deportation that will cover some parents of U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents.

That initiative would expand on a 2012 executive order by the president that gave relief from deportation and work permits to undocumented children brought to the United States by their parents.

There is also expected to be a border security element and Obama will act to help companies hire and retain high-skilled workers from abroad, the sources said.

"We've identified a number of ways that we will (fix the system) which the president will speak to in the coming days," Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said at a National Press Club event on Wednesday.
 
Get ready folks, Obama is going to once again shove something that the majority of Americans do not want down our throats.
 
more fun although its really getting annoying . Repubs better step up and do something but I hear that repubs won't do much . As example , Jeff Sessions , the claim is that he is being removed from his Financial Leadership position . THINK that I just heard that little tidbit on Rush !!
 
Look, try to be respectful of our Supreme Emperor, will you? :biggrin: Yes, Barry is going to spit in the eye of the American people tomorrow night. He is proving himself to be the "Man who would be King". I can not help but believe that this is going to backfire on the half-breed in a large way.....

And, to the Newly appointed Emperor.....

Not to go off topic - but Big Red 1, huh? They still at Fort Riley? I was sent there way back when on an investigation. Kind of in the middle of nowhere, huh....
 
yeah Randall but once the damage is done we have to live with ,


Oh, you are probably correct, but the republicans have already announced that they will, indeed, litigate it. Look, this country is in deep trouble. SOMETHING is going to have to be done by SOMEONE or we're toast.
 
It's an Act of War


It's an act of a man who wants to be the "Emperor". He truly is a sociopath and a narcissist. This is the act of a man who is attempting to "set a trap" for the new republican Congress. They should do nothing more than to (1) defund the ability to implement his "dictate" and (2) litigate it before the Supreme Court.


Again - Article 1 section 8 of the United States Constitution. CONGRESS MAKES IMMIGRATION LAW - NOT AN EMPEROR.
 
Reagan tried this and it didn't work mainly because Congress pulled the teeth from the original bill.

They should build that fence at put towers up with armed guards. Shoot at a few as they try to cross. The rest will get the message.

As for those already here? Its to bad they all can't be deported but that will never happen.

They can change the ammendment to the constitution that says anyone born in this country is an automatic citizen.

That was put in to protect the children of former slaves. Its not needed anymore. We are the only country recognizes anyone born in this country as a citizen.

A change to the ammendment would get rid of that anchor baby bullshit.

Of course Barry won't address any of this he'll just give loads of folks amnesty one way or another and spit in the eyes of all those who came here legally.

What the hell else would one expect??

You know, I hear this phrase often - usually from politicians, and I can't help but say BULLSHIT. We can deport anyone we want to. We just don't have the collective will to do what is right. And the monster grows bigger...........

Obama is like Hitler in the bunker, he wants to pull the nation down with him
 
for those illegal adults that are already here , the USA will start flying their children from foreign lands to the USA to be reunited Claudete . Program starts in a few weeks or months . Heard on Rush just a moment ago !!

Here is what I know FOR A FACT - The Congress is responsible for immigration law. Period. The Executive Branch DOES NOT pass legislation. Yet this "man" (and I use that term loosely) is hell bent and determined to "have it his way" and the Congress and (more importantly) the American people - be damned.

I seriously doubt that this action will hold before the courts. This is the act of a spoiled child - nothing more. Hell, even the democrats are upset about this clowns unilateral actions.

you'd have to build a shadow DOJ to deport everyone, and Congress is not in the mood to spend the money ... in either party. You're also not going to get any amendment to the Constitution through the process. That reality is why the Supreme Court can do just about any damn thing it chooses. Obama's a narcissist and elitist, though.
 
Obama doesn't love America, he wants a weakened America, and this is one way to accomplish that by bringing in as many third world people as possible who will continue to drain our government services that cost Americans billions of dollars every year.

And this has always been my assertion. As much time, money and effort that has gone into this "illegal" problem - we could have (literally) completely rebuilt Mexico and turned it into the US South. We never hold Mexico and other Latin American countries responsible for THEIR people. We just ignore their governments.

Again, THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH OUR IMMIGRATION LAWS. THEY ARE NOT "BROKEN". WE SIMPLY REFUSE TO ENFORCE THEM. THIS IS DIRECTLY ON THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE AND THE DOJ.
