Obama Lays The Groundwork For
Dream Act Passage With Executive Order

June 25, 2011
By Rmuse

America was once considered the land of opportunity where anything was possible and millions of immigrants braved harsh conditions to travel to the "promised land" to make their fortune and forge a new life for themselves and their families. Indeed, America's "melting pot" of nationalities and ethnicities has helped define the character and values of what was once the greatest country on Earth, but for the last two-and-a-half years, immigrants have become a pariah and source of fear-mongering for conservatives and hate-filled white people. Republicans have become predictable for their incitement of racial hatred every election cycle and the 2010 midterm elections were the latest incarnation of immigrant bashing and opposition to reform to address the millions of undocumented immigrants living in this country.

To address the undocumented immigrants who work, attend schools, serve in combat, raise families, and contribute tax dollars to the system, the Dream Act was proposed to give a clear path to citizenship for mostly Mexican immigrants wishing to become legal residents and eventually American citizens. Republicans and various conservative groups have vehemently opposed the Dream Act and recently blocked its passage in the Senate, but last week President Obama quietly issued an executive order that begins to relax the deportation laws and effectively establishes some aspects of the Dream Act as precursors to the law's passage. The move by Obama is a start in addressing the immigration problem in this country by approaching the issue from a position of compassion instead of outright hatred and contempt. http://www.rense.com/general94/obs.htm

You mean just like Reagan did, and very successfully I might add.

Thumb-down all you want people but it is 100% true.

Any executive order circumventing the Congress is a clear violation of the Constitution.

Article 1, Section 8, Powers of Congress: To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization (Immigration), and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States;

Yes he is.

He should be impeached for it too. He swore to uphold the laws of the US not figure out ways around it.

Its funny how lib idiots bring up the person that they despise Reagan as an example of well he did it so its ok now. Fing children!

[seager]

More like succeded. He bypassed the legislative process in order to garner votes. Legal ballot box stuffing. If these illegals want to be legal, leave and do it right.

if it has to do with doing something unconstitutional aka unlawful (yes that makes all dems criminals) odds are obama bin laden is behind it.

[hurst]

Wouldn't be the least bit surprised if he does. He's got a history of going against the constitution so this isn't anything new.

[devon]

His aunt that was hiding in the US illegally was given a pardon so what do you think?

[cadby]

No.

He's trying, but he'll fail.
