1. It’s
not automatic amnesty. It allows families who have been low risk residents for 5
or more years to choose a path toward legal residence status for a finite
period.
2. Felons
and gang members are not only excluded, but they’re going to be priority
targets for expulsion. They’ll no longer
be on an even standing with lower profile and lower risk “illegals.”
3. The
new plan will not issue Green Cards.
4. The
new plan will not offer citizenship as any form of amnesty.
On the one hand, I want the Republicans to try to impeach
Obama for "overstepping bounds" and "running roughshod over the Constitution" in his exercise of Executive Orders. I want their lies to see the light of day and
to be put to an open, Constitutional test.
Every since Nixon, they’ve been trying to exorcise the party’s shame
over impeachment by trying to nail one Democratic President or another. Given the fact that Obama has used Executive decrees less often than every other president since Nixon, this is not the battle they want.
At the same time, why should they have free reign to waste
more time which should be put to passing productive laws. Why should the most obstructionist congress
since the Civil War be given one more toxic toy to play with?
