President Barack Obama announced Thursday he is granting temporary legal status and work permits to almost five million undocumented immigrants living in the country illegally, the largest single immigration action in modern American history.

More than four million undocumented immigrants who are the parents of U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident children will receive new legal status under Obama’s executive action, if they have been living in the country for at least five years, pay back taxes, and pass a criminal background check.

Stupid Title. Its not citizenship.

A senior Obama Administration official described the action as a “pretty routine application of enforcement priorities” in a briefing for reporters Thursday afternoon. “It is not a pathway to citizenship. It is temporary and it is reversible.”

So long as the background check is legitimate, I don't really care.

Yes, Obama through executive fiat gives citizenship to 5 million people and it doesn't make the news despite occurring on the 20th... imagine that!

Obama has experienced almost no success in courts on the issue of executive actions concerning illegals. I wonder why he thinks this one will stick.

This click bait “article” makes it sound like this just happened when clearly it didn’t.

In a video statement released before Obama’s speech, Speaker of the House John Boehner criticized Obama for acting unilaterally.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deferred_Action_for_Childhood_Arrivals

“DACA confers non-immigrant legal status but does not provide a path to citizenship. It was started by the Obama administration in June 2012.”

“In November 2014, U.S. President Barack Obama announced changes to DACA which would expand it to include undocumented immigrants who entered the country before 2010, eliminate the requirement that applicants be younger than 31 years old, and lengthen the renewable deferral period to two years. The Pew Research Center estimated that this would increase the number of eligible people by about 330,000.[6]”

“Due to a federal court order, USCIS did not begin accepting requests for the expansion of DACA on February 18, 2016 as originally planned. The court's temporary injunction, issued February 16, does not affect the existing DACA. Individuals may continue to come forward and request an initial grant of DACA or renewal of DACA under the guidelines established in 2012.[7]”

Perhaps the real reason Imam Obama is doing this is to further muddle and complicate the issues for Trump.  He doesn't want Trump involved in going through investigations in to what the Imam has done to screw America and maybe this is an attempt to keep him too busy to follow up.
