Just because somebody on the radio or television refers to this president as being a dictator, one does not need to adopt the opinion as true. There is a vast world of difference between dictatorship and what Obama, and prior presidents, have done via executive order.
Remember: executive orders may be undone by the president (present or future) at the stroke of a pen, or by Congress if they pass a law and the president signs said law. Hardly the attributes of a dictatorship.
You are correct, I mis spelled Reagan. Apologies.
In my mind, he is ACTING like a dictator. Perhaps that is a bit dramatic, but it is how it FEELS to me. Oh, and I did not hear anyone on TV or radio saying he was a dictator. Look up the definition in the dictionary and it sounds like what happened last night.
dic·ta·tor·ship noun \dik-ˈtā-tər-ˌship, ˈdik-ˌ\
: rule by a dictator : rule, control, or leadership by one person with total power
: a government or country in which total power is held by a dictator or a small group
No, there has never been one which authorized full fence. There was one which authorized 600 miles of fence, and 600 was built. It did what it was designed to do, which is exactly the opposite of what you just said.
Because Obama likes the Senate bill mainly because of the path to citizenship it includes. This has been a major sticking point for many members of the House because their constituents do not support a path to citizenship.
Yet poll after poll seems to say a majority of the US people want to see a pathway to citizenship.
It has benn said that if the BIPATISAN senate bill had been put to a vote with the house, it would have passed. Who knows? It's clear to me that the GOP has avoided a situation whereby their votes become a part of the record. Too risky for the midterms and 2016. Easier to give amnesty by defaulting to kicking the can, as has been done for 30 years.

You do know that's all the Senate bill does too, right? Just more amnesty. I don't know why they even bother calling it reform. It doesn't reform a single thing. It's just the next version of amnesty like all the predecessors.
I disagree that it is a lame arguement. In this case, unlike the other two, at least there was Congressional involvement. There was NONE here. Hello Dictatorship!!
What Obama is doing is different. Regan was complying with the immigration law, by addressing a crack in the law, an unintended flaw in the law that would adversely affect the people who were trying to comply with the law.
The five million people 0bama defers deportation for, are not trying to follow existing immigration laws, they did not just fall thru the cracks, they are purposely disrespecting our laws and borders, and violating immigration laws.

Freaking unbelievable....
It took six weeks for my husband to get cleared to work in Canada for one month. It took five months to get him cleared to go to South America for work. Yet 5 million just got cleared to work in the US forever in five freaking minutes......
