No, no, no, you've got it all wrong, again.
Obama did what was within the laws of illegal immigration.
EO requires no congressional input, it's is an action a president may invoke at anytime.

Executive order - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

p.s. romney already said he would leave the EO in place.

Be careful what you wish for.

Congress has said/done nothing about this EO. Americans didn't get all upset. Both Romney and Obama are courting Hispanics.

Congress will end up passing an amnesty in the next 4 years.
I'm curious to know what makes you think that there will be a Social Security number involved in this process? I'm not aware of anything that suggests that the EO will provide an opportunity for an illegal immigrant to obtain a SSN, but I could be wrong. The same could be said about driver's licenses. California paved the way for illegals to get DL's but what about the other 49 states? Please elaborate.

There was no EO issued. It was done through policy. There was no circumvention of Congress.

Again, if you people knew what you were talking about you would know that there was no EO, it was done by policy. SMFH

As to what the OP claims, there is no visa to revoke.

Had you actually read the complete article, you would have found out why Romney criticized Obama for circumventing Congress to make the change a few months before the presidential election. Which, in context, means that Obama used the policy to gain the Hispanic vote vs going through Congress and passing a "comprehensive" immigration law.

You are exactly correct! No EO was written pertaning to this subject!
Thank you for the clarifications! My apologies for subscribing to the jibberish!

Actually, i'm glad you pointed this out. I too thought it was via EO, but clearly it wasn't. The good news is that this makes it EASIER for President Romney to reverse. The President is in charge of the Executive Branch, which means that as Obama leaves office, the next President can right the ship quite easily through a simple policy directive.

Whether through EO, or policy directive, the OP's point still remains. I'm actually glad it wasn't through EO because that's less ammunition that can be used against the incoming President in that it relieves him of the potentially negative press of issuing an EO.

States already have temp licenses for foreign drivers. It's vertical instead of horizontal and has an expiration date (same as their work permit). Why CA had to do something special is beyond me.
That's why I didn't mention DLs in my post. There are temp DLs for foreign workers.

The work permit young immigrants can receive with the deferral opens many doors that have been firmly shut. They can obtain valid Social Security numbers and apply for driver’s licenses, professional certificates and financial aid for college.

Deferred Action: New Policy for Unocumented Immigrants
An employment authorization would qualify you for drivers license and social security number. Additionally, an employment authorization could give you a lot more opportunities in the US: opening bank accounts, better job opportunities and even buying your own home.

Which is why it's stupid to get worked up over the issue. The politicians do not care, ergo, the majority of Americans do not care. Politicians only act when confronted through mass protest or being voted out. If neither of the two happen, it's implied consent, meaning most Americans don't think it's a big enough deal for them. It all comes back to we the American people.

There are people that complain about jobs being offshored to China, shipped to Mexico, and given to illegals. Well, guess what guys? Americans offered their approval the moment we wanted to buy stuff without paying the premium Made in USA price tag for it. We only have ourselves to blame.

Why shouldn't we get worked up over the destruction of our country and job opportunities dwindling for Americans in favor of illegal immigrants? Yes, we do care! Just because we aren't marching in the streets does not indicate our consent to this. We need to vote these traitors out of office. Just because we might buy an imported product from time to time does not equate to any blame on our part.

You can throw up your arms in defeat if you want to or roll over and take it if you wish. As for me, I am doing everything within my power to make the necessary changes to take our country back and so are millions of other Americans. Just because you don't see it doesn't mean it isn't happening behind the scenes.
