You knew executive amnesty for illegal immigrants was coming, you just didn’t think it was going to come down so soon, right?
Well, according to a Fox News report, Presidente Obama is set to “unveil a 10-part plan for overhauling U.S. immigration policy via executive action — including suspending deportations for millions — as early as next Friday.”
But the most controversial pertain to the millions who could get a deportation reprieve under what is known as “deferred action.”
The plan calls for expanding deferred action for illegal immigrants who came to the U.S. as children — but also for the parents of U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents.The latter could allow upwards of 4.5 million illegal immigrant adults with U.S.-born children to stay, according to estimates.
Critics in the Senate say those who receive deferred action, according to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, receive work authorization in the United States, Social Security numbers and government-issued IDs.

While Democrat law makers are begging and pleading to the President to sign an executive order legalizing millions of illegal aliens, Republicans are pushing back, and threatening to cut off funding to any executive amnesty for illegal aliens order.

It will be interesting to see what Senators Marco Rubio, Lindsay Graham, John McCain, and Jeff Flake, say about this amnesty order by the President.
Remember, these four senators received high praises from President Obama for co-authoring the highly unpopular amnesty for illegal immigrants “Gang of 8” bill in 2013.
Obama’s immigration move could work for or against Rubio, who is considered to be a top potential presidential candidate in 2016.
Democrats will most likely look to tie Obama’s support for legalizing millions of illegal immigrants to Rubio’s bill, praising the Florida Senator for his bipartisan efforts, which would only serve to reopen an old political wound of Rubio’s.
On the other hand, Rubio could use this as the opportunity he was waiting to completely back away and apologize for his past support for the “Gang of Ocho” bill, and allow him to lay a big-time smack down on Obama’s executive amnesty, as well as catapulting him to the top of the field of potential 2016 Republican presidential candidates.
