Why is immigration the current topic? Why did Obama try and legalize illegals without going through congress?

Take a peek at this and it will open your eyes.

Dear President Obama:

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. 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 “case-by-case” 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 Congress’ 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 public’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.

Sincerely,

Chuck Grassley
Orrin Hatch
Jim Bunning

Can you actually believe that this is happening? I have an idea why the Obama administration wants the illegal vote to be "legal" so bad.

Most polling data suggests that the Obama administration has lost the support of the American people. The passage of large bills without anyone having read them, the huge deficit, The Health Care Bill (which gets worse with every report); none of it adds up. This administration, as well as congress, are on the way out in November. That is unless they can produce a new voting block.

I believe that this push to legalize illegal immigrants is nothing more than a voting drive. Think about it for a minute. The democrats know that they are going to loose power in November. On the other hand, if they can get their hands on about 20 million extra votes, they could maintain their power. I think it's that simple.

What do you think?
