I think this is an over reach of executive power and I do not see the upside politically for doing this.

I mean, sure it's a really big loving help to immigrants but I think this is just gonna make Republicans go hog wild and smack all this poo poo down and marginalize immigrants even more.

Force the GOP to do something. Either they attack him and pass their own bill, or they shutdown the government.

Or they impeach. :v:

What was stopping the Republicans from passing bills before?

I know someone was nice enough to link the webpage for the Immigration Policy Matters website (or whatever it was called), but it only seemed to describe the bill itself, not why it didn't go anywhere.

Were Republicans (and Democrats) sponsoring bills that never came out of committee or to a vote simply because Republicans didn't want them to?

edit: I mean, other than the one bill that failed in the Senate, there were a few other bills out there- but went nowhere. Why? I didn't hear of anything showing why it didn't. Was it obstructed my Republicans or Democrats? Or just pushed to the side by everyone?

Republicans have said Obama's actions would not only hurt chances of passing an immigration overhaul but also damage his relations with the incoming Republican-controlled Congress.

Mods I am so sorry for my response being an animated gif but holy gently caress.
