Executive Order On Immigration : Power " By Any Means Necessary"

Mr Obama legislating with his pen is just one more indication he doesn't care what the general public thinks and he will do what ever he wants, as he stated in a campaign speech in 2008, to fulfill his idea of a "Fundamentally Changed America"

Mr Obama and his progressive socialist liberal democrat friends do not like this country as it was founded and have dedicated their political powers to this end. That a majority of the voting public have elected him twice indicates they agree with him that a representative government is no longer needed. A socialists, neocommunism, if you will, all power full centralized government that will work better then the one based on liberty and individual freedom that has brought his to be the most powerful country in the world is lost on the general public.

Is it ignorance of what and who we are and how we got here, or are the citizens with their collective heads buried in their smart phones or I Pads too concerned of missing text message to see they are ready to slide into a socialist nightmare that they will not be able to escape.

Who is going to stop this before it's too late? Think about this before you enter the voting booth in November.

Problems with Fixing Immigration via Executive Order

President Obama is expected to issue an executive order to take action on immigration and the border crisis, potentially giving the millions of illegal aliens currently in the United States a path to become an American citizen.

Diana Furchtgott-Roth, director of Economics 21, says that such action by the President would be a mistake. Any order granting legal status to undocumented workers would immediately be challenged in court. Those benefiting from the order would be left in an uncertain position. Moreover, executive orders are different from legislation: they can be changed as soon as a new president enters office. Even if an executive order is upheld by a court, a new president could adopt an entirely new position, taking away the protection that President Obama might bestow upon illegals.

Immigration reform should go through the legislative process. Furchtgott-Roth adds that members of Congress on both sides of the aisle would like to increase the number of work visas available to foreign workers, and she encourages the President to sign any bill doing so. The United States is in dire need of economic growth, and bringing in workers from abroad would encourage such growth.
Moreover, she notes the benefits that legal immigrants have added to the U.S. economy:

• American businesses founded by immigrants produced $63 billion in sales in 2012, creating jobs for 560,000 workers.
• Immigrants are more likely to start new businesses than are native Americans. In fact, 44 percent of Silicon Valley companies were founded by at least one immigrant.
• Increasing the number of immigrant scientists and engineers by just 1 percentage point increases the number of patents per capita in the United States by 18 percent.

Rather than deal with immigration policy via executive order, the United States should do so through the legislative branch.
