Originally posted by sasquatch672As far as I am aware provision was made in the relevant laws for the executive to oversee the implementation, including using E.O.s.

As far as I understand it, the executive branch of your government has acted in accordance with the law and with the powers that the law has given it in the implementation of immigration policy. I now support the current efforts to establish an amnesty just as also I support efforts to police your borders as strictly as possible.
So then you would not advocate the executive branch of a government ignoring laws passed via the democratic process?

I don't. This is a discussion forum. If you consider contributing to a discussion as "tangible", then I change my answer to: 'I do. This is it.'
Originally posted by sasquatch672That's fine. I support the idea of an amnesty and I have expressed it on this forum several times in the last year or so. If my ideas spread from American to American and change the nature of the debate in the public domain in your country on this issue, tipping it in favour of implementing the amnesty, and if it can be shown that I had a hand in swinging public opinion around, then I hope you will come back here and admit that my support for reform had a real impact on the way the issue panned out.

You, my friend, have some very grandiose ideas about yourself. You want to matter? Go feed the hungry. Clothe the homeless.

That's all I ask.

Originally posted by sasquatch672With this administration? No Republican has dealt with the issue either. You mean with this government. Neither Republican nor Democrat is going to do anything about illegal immigration, other than making illegals legal.
With this administration? You're freaking dreaming bro. Federal agents have been instructed not to enforce the law. Obama is a gangster. He's a pansy, but he's a gangster.
EDIT: But we have this. The leading advocate of ignoring the laws related to illegal immigration is looking at thirty years of hard time.
Originally posted by EladarBut don't you think this current compromise, the amnesty, is a good one? What is your counterproposal?
