Don't fool yourself. Two years is a long time and these legal illegals won't just give up their DL and SS and go back home.
We'll have amnesty in the next administration no matter who gets into office.
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 wouldn't count on it. Remember the 'great amnesty' of 2007? The administration and Congress tried to pass an amnesty to pander to 20-30 illegal aliens and their supporters. When the Capitol switchboard got so overloaded from people objecting they had to shut it down, the administration and Congress decided it was more expedient to not alienate a couple of million citizens. People were not only calling Washington, they were calling the offices of their senators, and representatives, in their home districts. Result? No amnesty.
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.
I don't understand why those who qualify for DACA would be issued a SS number as opposed to an ITTN number like other non-citizen legal workers.
All Legal Permanent Residents are eligible for a Social Security number (an ITIN cannot be issued if there is a possibility of getting a Social Security number). Work-authorized non-immigrants get a Social Security number too. Which non-citizens that are work authorized are you referring to?

An ITIN is for tax filing purposes only. It is a 9 digit number like SS, but coded differently. Yes, some illegals use this number to create a fake SS card.

I'm reffering to those who qualify for DACA. As to their legal status, they aren't citizens, nor are they permanent legal residents. Their deportation is merely deferred.
Both parties have embraced amnesty even if they pass no law.
I wouldn't say "embrace", but have "accepted" the fact that amnesty is inevitable. The number of illegals is too out of control to even expect that they could deport even half of them on the basis of being in the country illegally, something that should have been enforced long ago.
Govt didn't learn anything the first time it issued mass amnesty in '86, hopefully govt will learn something from a second mass amnesty - secure the border and all other ports of entry, amend the Constitution (which they did in 1924 with the Indian Citizenship Act) and pass the Birthright Citizenship Act of 2009 (note the year - Obama anyone???), stop granting government benefits, and make it a crime with punishment to be in this country illegally, give severe punishment to employers who hire illegals. Stop making the US a desirable country to enter illegally and make it an undesirable country to enter illegally.

While I agree it would be hard to round up millions of illegal immigrants and deport them I think most of us in here are for self-deportations. Removing the job, benefit and birthright citizenship magnets would do just that. It would also be a deterrant to come here illegally in the first place so you are right on in that respect.

The DACA applicants that qualify for work-authorization will be able to be issued Social Security numbers, the same as all other work-authorized non-citizens. Your original comment seems lost on declaring those non-citizen workers as only being able to get ITINs (the IRS will actually refuse to issue an ITIN if they feel that an applicant qualifies to be issued a Social Security number):

Are you sure you are understanding everything here?...
That may be so, but it was never intended to be used to garner votes.
How do you know that?
If a president does something like that, legal immigrants would see it as a step toward legislation to ease immigration, and a minority might cast a vote for him.
But with willard stating he wouldn't dismiss Obama's non executive order, it would seem that both are pandering to a certain minority group of people. No?
