Obama's unconstitutional decree a naked attack on U.S. workers    
President Obama thwarted the will of Congress and shunned the 20 million under- and unemployed Americans by announcing he will grant work permits to 2 million to 3 million illegal workers. This unconstitutional fiat ignores the rule of law and bypasses Congress, which on three occasions rejected DREAM Act amnesties in part to protect unemployed workers born here or who came here legally...

Liar-in-Chief?    
At a Univision Town Hall in March 2011, President Obama clearly said that he could not suspend deportations through executive order because we are a nation of laws. Today Obama proved that he will do whatever he wants and to hell with Congress and the American people.

Rick Oltman of The Immigration Tea Party -- The Examiner   
It's about the money, estúpido, not votes   
President Barack Obama's announcement that "dreamers," supposedly people between 16 and 30 years old whose parents brought them illegally into our country, would be getting amnesty is being widely, and incorrectly, interpreted as a bid for the "Hispanic vote." It isn't about votes. Allowing massive illegal immigration into our country over the last 20 years isn't now, and never has been, about the Hispanic vote. It's about money... [More from Rick Oltman]

King, who described Obama's recent announcement as an election-year stunt. -- "It's the start of the incrementalism of amnesty in slow motion," King said Friday...

National Review Editorial  
Illegal amnesty    
Though apparently a little fuzzy on the subject of judicial review, President Barack Obama is supposed to be a constitutional scholar of some sort. On the subject of his decision yesterday to unilaterally enact sweeping changes to U.S. immigration policy on nothing but his own say-so, we would like to introduce Barack Obama to Barack Obama, who during a Univision interview just last year affirmed...
