Anyways, glad to hear it.

It sure was being given plenty of press, but as I said, most of it from the Right.

But I disagree that something this "radical" couldn't come from the Obama White House.

This would probably be the ONE thing that Dems could do to actually INCREASE their majorities in Congress.

Imagine all those new and excited voters overwhelmingly supporting the party that gave them a free ride.

No, I definitely see that the Administration could do something so cynically self-serving.

Like I said, my guess is they ran it up the flag pole to see if it could be slipped past the American people.

But, glad to hear it's just nothing but a conspiracy theory from the radical Right.

Or is it??? :D

My take is that this is the product of someone else's fevered imagination, either that or a very early start to the political silly season, which usually happens in August.

Seriously, this would never happen in a million years. At least not from the Obama White House. When have they EVER shown the slightest inclination to do something this radical, I ask you? I mean, it'd probably be legal (Carter issued a blanket draft dodger pardon, for instance), but it ain't gonna happen, trust me.

Rumors are flying that the White House intends to grant amnesty to illegals via an executive order rather than going thru Congress.

Rather than give you a cherry-picking of selected news sites, I'll just link you the google page.

Predictably most of the sites are right-wing sites decrying this. And, in the interests of full disclosure, I DID read a headline that the White House has denied the rumor, but did not have time to read the entire article.

MY personal belief is that the White House WAS considering it, let the rumor out of the bag to gauge reaction and then back-tracked from it as fast as possible when they got said reaction..

Michale.....

Haven't heard a thing about it. Provide some details, and I'll tell you what I think, how's that for a bargain?

... I am curious as to your thoughts regarding the rumors of Amnesty By Executive Order that have been put out.

1. Can it really happen?

2. SHOULD it happen?

3. What would be the pros and cons for the Administration and the country?

I (of course) have my own thoughts, but wanted to hear ya'alls take...
