Thread: What is Obama trying to pull now?

I did a search on the site for this and didn't find any other posting. I received this email from my Senator today with a letter attached. The letter reffers to something I have not previously heard of. Does anyone else know anything about this, or did they receive a similar email?


Dear Mr. :

You have previously written in to my office regarding immigration and I wanted to provide you with an update. If you do not want to receive this type of update in the future, please fill out the http://isakson.senate.gov/contact.cfm and choose "DO NOT SEND ISSUE UPDATES" from the drop down topic list.

I recently joined my Senate colleagues in sending a letter to President Obama to express my great disappointment and concern with an effort within his administration to offer blanket amnesty to thousands of illegal immigrants. I do not believe in offering amnesty or any special pathway to citizenship for individuals who are here illegally, and I believe that all immigrants should pursue citizenship by getting in line and complying with the same rules that are already in place. I have always drawn a clear distinction between legal and illegal immigration, and anyone who comes to our country legally should be welcomed to share in the pursuit of the American dream.

I have attached the letter sent to President Obama to this email.

Sincerely,
Johnny Isakson
United States Senator

Dear President Obama:

We understand that there's a push for your Administration to develop a plan to
unilaterally extend either deferred action or parole to millions of illegal aliens in the
United States. We understand that the Administration may include aliens who have
willfully overstayed their visas or filed for benefits knowing that they will not be eligible
for a status for years to come. We understand that deferred action and parole are
discretionary actions reserved for individual cases that present unusual, emergent or
humanitarian circumstances. Deferred action and parole were not intended to be used to
confer a status or offer protection to large groups of illegal aliens, even if the agency
claims that they look at each case on a "case-by-case" basis.
While we agree our immigration laws need to be fixed, we are deeply concerned about
the potential expansion of deferred action or parole for a large illegal alien population.
While deferred action and parole are Executive Branch authorities, they should not be
used to circumvent Congress' constitutional authority to legislate immigration policy,
particularly as it relates to the illegal population in the United States.
The Administration would be wise to abandon any plans for deferred action or parole for
the illegal population. Such a move would further erode the American public's
confidence in the federal government and its commitment to securing the borders and
enforcing the laws already on the books.
We would appreciate receiving a commitment that the Administration has no plans to use
either authority to change the current position of a large group of illegal aliens already in
the United States, and ask that you respond to us about this matter as soon as possible.

Sincerely,


The letter was signed by Sen. Chuc Grassley- R-Iowa ,Sens. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah; Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga.; David Vitter, R-La.; Jim Bunning, R-Ky.; James Inhofe, R-Okla.; Thad Cochran, R-Miss.; and Johnny Isakson, R-Ga.,

I LIKE this guys thinking.....better than my REID

They are letting Obama know they are aware of his amnesty executive order and how he is gaming the immigration system now with policy amnesty.
