Let's be honest, BO's EO is all about turning Texas blue. Do that, and GOP doesn't win a presidential election for 100 years.

United States Senator Mike Lee
14 mins ·
In a desperate attempt to remain relevant, the President has decided to defy the American people, ignore the election results, and usurp the legislative process. This act demonstrates he respects neither election outcomes, nor the rule of law. It will make the humanitarian crisis at the border worse, and could potentially create a constitutional crisis within our republic. Congress must respond to restore the proper checks and balances to our constitutional order, and it must do so quickly and forcefully. I hope and expect there are a number of Democrats who are tired of being asked to protect the President, often at great political cost. It’s time for them to stand with the American people.

Rep. Steve King (R-IA), on CNN: 'Sinking feeling in My Stomach'
King mentioned that Obama has said 22 times that he does not have the power to enact an executive amnesty and "has no constitutional authority to do this."
"What about some compassion for the rule of law and for the constitution?" he asked. King said Congress can cut off funding, censure Obama, or even pass a resolution of disapproval.

Newt Gingrich: Elites Underestimate Anger at Lack of Border Security
On CNN, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich mentioned that voters in progressive Oregon overwhelmingly rejected a measure that would give driver's licenses to illegals and said "elites really underestimate how deeply" the country is disgusted with the lack of border security and Obama defying the will of the people.
Obama Dismisses Concerns Executive Amnesty, Work Permits for Illegals Will Hurt American Workers:
Obama concedes that "we don’t like the notion that anyone might get a free pass to American citizenship." He also dismissed concerns of those who believe that granting amnesty to illegal immigrants "will change the very fabric of who we are, or take our jobs, or stick it to middle-class families at a time when they already feel like they’ve gotten the raw end of the deal for over a decade."
Obama claimed he heard those concerns, but enacting his executive amnesty anyway because, according to Obama, "thats not what these steps would do."

There will never be another Black American President for 50 years after Obama. We tried it, and it was an utter and complete DISASTER!
I know most Black people are not like Obama, I just do not think it will make a difference. The pain Obama has caused for so many will take decades to heal.

Ironically, it will be the first "Hispanic" President, an descendant of one the newly minted Americans, who will put the blacks back in chains. Viva La Revolution!

Richard Pryor made millions on a skit he called, "The new bleep." The idea was that America has grown tired, and wanted a new working class. So they imported, you have to take this in context of the time, Vietnamese to replace the Blacks. Pryor called them 'the new bleep'.
Now we have a Black/half Black President importing millions of Latinos into America which will cause Blacks all over America to lose their jobs.
Pryor was prophetic, he just picked the wrong race of the 'new bleep'. And no one on Earth could have guessed that the dissolution of the American Black race, would be done by a person with a Black heritage.
