Thousands of Illegal Aliens Line Up for Amnesty

On Wednesday, August 15, the United States officially turned into a soft tyranny.  By circumventing Congress with an executive order, President Obama's backdoor amnesty to thousands of illegal immigrants went live, taking away jobs for Americans in an already terrible economy.  The complete lawless action was announced in June, which happened to be Obama's campaign theme of that particular week: catering to Latinos.  This topic was intentionally avoided by the elite media.

This power grab would only come from a man with complete contempt for America and its Constitution: Barack Hussein Obama.  In Chicago alone, where open borders supporters held a Dream Relief workshop, it was reported that over 50,000 illegal aliens showed up at Navy Pier to accept Obama's DREAM Act gift.  In return, Obama and Democrats will likely receive a vote.

A FOX News opinion piece summarizes the troubling situation, which will be difficult to undo: 

They should have stopped it long before it reached this point. After all, for the past 3 and a half years, the administration has bypassed Congress while it systematically dismantled most interior immigration enforcement by gutting programs Congress enacted, rewritten guidelines, and claimed limitless  prosecutorial discretion in an effort to allow all but the most violent criminal aliens to remain. “Merely” violating immigration laws is now inconsequential in the eyes of this administration. Yet, with a few exceptions in the House and Senate, Congress has said nothing, done nothing.

In June, the Obama administration further usurped congressional authority by announcing it was unilaterally amending federal immigration policy to grant amnesty to illegal aliens who met criteria similar to that of the failed DREAM Act. This circumvention of congressional power came not in the form of an executive order or regulation, but by a mere policy memorandum authored by the Secretary of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano. Shortly afterwards, President Obama publicly declared the new law of the land.  Again, Congress sat idly by, surrendering the authority it is granted to regulate immigration to a White House eager to use it for political purposes.

Inaction has consequences.  Starting today, illegal aliens up to the age of 30 who meet certain requirements will begin submitting their applications for "deferred action," which allows them to remain in the country for a period of two years, with indefinite renewals. They may also apply for work authorization, adding an estimated 2 million job-seekers to the workforce at a time of record unemployment.

Dream Relief workshop helpers assist illegal aliens with getting a work permit and even a driver's license.  This means that registering to vote as a Democrat just waits around the corner at the local ACORN or SEIU labor thug chapter.

Congress failed to act on this, likely because it's an issue few want to touch.  For Democrats, it's a win-win situation.  If Republicans want a lawful approach to immigration, Democrats will attack them.  If Democrats illegally enact amnesty, they've just opened up an entire new pool of voters and people to indoctrinate, which they desperately need.

This is the icing on the cake for the most lawless administration in modern American history.
