Or for the sake of simplicity, a DICTATORSHIP!
"David Leopold, a Cleveland immigration lawyer who has supported Obama’s previous administrative changes to immigration law, said nothing in the law requires the government to deport every immigrant living in the country illegally. The law ‘‘makes someone deportable, but that boils down to enforcement of immigration law. And that is open to enforcement priorities,’’ he said."
Meaning LAW ENFORCEMENT is nothing but an ARBITRARY DECISION and the CONSTITUTION nothing but a dog-gone piece of paper as someone once said!
When the government can decide to enforce this law, not enforce that law, it is no longer a republic or democracy. It has become AmeriKa, a fa$ci$t state of corporate governance with a totalitarian bent. That's why the thieving banks are too big to jail.
"Some insist Obama can do a lot alone on immigration" by Alicia A. Caldwell | Associated Press August 03, 2014
WASHINGTON — A consensus is emerging among legal scholars that President Obama can do a lot without Congress to change US immigration policies.
All they have is a rubber stamp provided by Israel.
There are some limits under federal law, and anything the White House decides to do may be challenged in court as unconstitutional.
But leading legal analysts say the administration has wide legal latitude to delay indefinitely efforts to deport millions of immigrants already in the United States illegally, and it could give them official work permits that would allow them to legally find jobs, obtain driver’s licenses, and pay income taxes.
They can always get a job sweeping I suppose.
Think about the implications of that paragraph, too. Obama is going to grant all the illegals job permits so they can get driver's licenses and start paying taxes! It's a ca$h grab again, never mind the jobs crisis in this country.
What a sphincter, 'eh, kids?
Without approval from Congress, they say, Obama could not generally give large groups of immigrants permission to remain permanently in the United States, and he could not grant them American citizenship.
He also could not generally make them eligible for federal or state social benefit programs, such as welfare payments, food stamps, or the administration’s health care plans.
But somehow they will manage to get them anyway. Government even sent out a flier encouraging them to sign up so they could expand the program and claim millions of enrollees.
Sick of the agenda-pu$hing ma$$ media lies yet?
‘‘There is prosecutorial discretion which can be exercised in these sorts of situations,’’ said Leon Rodriguez, a former Justice Department lawyer and the newly confirmed director for US Citizenship and Immigration Services. ‘‘In most enforcement realms, generally there is pretty broad discretion.’’ Rodriguez spoke last week during an oversight hearing for the House Judiciary Committee.
Then the "LAW" is NOTHING but the WHIM of those in POWER, isn't it?
And why not? Obama can already order you killed or detained for no reason.
With Congress declining to approve significant changes to immigration laws, the White House is hinting that Obama is considering broadening a program known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals to temporarily shield from deportation many young immigrants who came to the United States as children and allow them to get a work permit.
Immigration reform advocates have been pushing to include parents of US citizens and the parents of young immigrants already protected under the earlier program, which covers more than 700,000 immigrants so far.
All told, expanding the program could affect as many as 5 million immigrants who came to the United States illegally.

Just in time for the 2014 elections!
Republicans in Congress, including House Speaker John Boehner, have complained that Obama is failing to enforce US laws by effectively disregarding illegal immigration. The House Judiciary Committee chairman, Representative Bob Goodlatte, Republican of Virginia, said Obama’s immigration policies are ‘‘undermining the fundamental constitutional principles that Congress creates the law and president is bound to enforce them.’’
Then DO SOMETHING ABOUT! Either IMPEACH the bastard or GET OFF the POT!
I no longer want to hear complaining about an UNLAWFUL PRESIDENT for political show-fooley purposes.
In a direct challenge to Obama’s policies, the Republican-led House on Friday night passed legislation that appeared designed to prevent those who have already gotten work permits under the deferred action program from renewing them, ultimately making them subject to deportation. With the Senate controlled by Democrats, the bill seemed unlikely to advance.
So, how powerfully can Obama act without approval by Congress?
Who is to stop him?

I wouldn't worry about it anyway. He can't give them give them something they already have.
