Is it within executive power to grant amnesty?

This is why I don't have a problem with suing Obama for overreaching his executive authority. Impeachment is extremely unlikely in the current political environment. However, while I'm not a big fan of litigation, there has to be a judicial ruling on the constitutionality of his executive edicts. This potential amnesty issue is a biggie, perhaps bigger than the Obamacare crap he's done. If he can get away with unilaterally granting amnesty and creating citizens he can potentially affect the balance of power in this country for decades. This CANNOT be allowed to stand.

No he doesn't. Since Jimmy Carter days the Dems have had 2 out of 3 Hispanic votes (on average). The highest for Dems was the 1988 election, which happened to be the one right after the amnesty Reagan signed in 1986 (!). Go figure. Guess the Republican opinion that amnesty will buy them votes is a farce, huh? Bottom line is nothing is going to cost the Dems the Hispanic vote.

Your correct. I mistyped. I meant the midterm elections.

The president can do what ever he wants if nobody objects. The dimwits in this country voted Obama in twice are they able to make any better decisions this election?
