Obama's immigration executive orders will help boost the American high tech industry, fill a skills gap, and create a bigger consumer base.

I don't agree with Obama. Do not give out amnesty, give a way to legalize. Create a vehicle though which an Illegal can prove their worth. Like if a person is here illegally, has been paying income taxes for 5 years and has no criminal past. These can be heard on individual basis. And this can be a system, not a one time deal.

If you aren't here legally you probably aren't a US tax resident so I'm not sure how you'd expect said folks to pay income tax

1rst of all you can, you get a tax id number and pay.
2nd I have seen people do it, they were here illegally for like 7 years, went to court with their tax records and testifying that they would be facing certain death should they be deported.

Obama has been able to break any rule he wishes and apparently there are no consequences. Back in school we were taught all the ways the various leaders are prevented from doing the wrong thing. What is happening? Has it just been that Obama is the first one to try? It seems to be all right with the opposition.

You mean get a tax id like a business would and paying personal income tax? That doesn't make much sense. I'm not sure what your #2 has to do with anything

He wouldn't need to issue an order to sell it. We should end the war on drugs and tax the sales. The war on drugs is an abysmal failure both in wasting money and impacting drug use. Further more making things legal doesn't mean increased use
