The plan should be to legally pass a law for border security and immigration reform. It shouldn't be just a Republican plan or a Democrat plan.
That said, my issue isn't as much with his plan as it is in using an executive order. There's 22 different instances where he admitted he couldn't do it...then he did it! He is again pissing on the Constitution and setting an awful precedent. When Bush and Reagan used Executive Action with regards to immigration they were taking action on an amnesty law that had already been passed by Congress. Obama is making his own laws now...that's what i have an issue with, much moreso than the plan. All future Presidents will cite this event when they pull a loner too.
We are just coming off fresh elections where he got his ass kicked. Instead of saying "ok, message received, I'll try to reach across the aisle to the new guys" he's saying "fuck you, i'm going alone" and creating a constitutional crisis. He is the most divisive President we have had in a very long time and just an atrocious leader. This action is an admission of failure. Even if they do find some legal loophole to pull this off, the spirit of this move damages the presidency.
question max. why arent you ripping apart the house for not voting on the bi-partisian bill the senate passed in 2013? obama has been asking for it for the last 2 years. and yet here we are still waiting on it. when congress cant/wont do its job, sometimes the president has to be the adult in the room and lead.
this is like Q-tip telling me that Obama should have passed a law. seriously the house refuses to act, blame them.
