What an idiot. What makes this judge thinks he has the authority to demand Obama to explain anything about immigration? So he's a right wing judge from Texas why am I not surprised. Funny how he didn't do anything to block Reagan when he gave amnesty to the illegals or when Bush did the same thing but when Obama does it then something has to be done about it. Just another right wing hypocrite. When the right do it it's ok but when the left does it then it must be stopped. So is this nobody trying to get a job at FOX?

You referring to this bill?
I doubt it. He was probably referring to the Executive Order that Bush Sr. used to extend the 1986 'amnesty' put in place under Reagan. Just like Obama has done - use an Executive Order when Congress won't act.
(source)
"It's a striking parallel," said Mark Noferi of the pro-immigration American Immigration Council. "Bush Sr. went big at the time. He protected about 40 percent of the unauthorized population. Back then that was up to 1.5 million. Today that would be about 5 million."
Bush Sr. did that because Congress would not fix a known problem with the Immigration act of 1986.
Just for your background info here's a rundown on the GOP President's 'Executive Amnesties' since Eisenhower.
Good thing you checked to see what Presidents had done what with immigration and executive orders before posting.

Judge Hanen's finger is still plugging the hole in the dike. Haven't seen the town's population rushing out to effect repairs. Maybe 0bama was right. We'll see what happens next week.
Thanks for the link.

There are way more liberal judges that legislate from the bench than conservative judges,but that's okay, right? This is nothing like previous amnesties. Congress approved Reagan's amnesty and it didn`t give anyone the right to vote, get free sex change operations or get up to 35,000 k in back tax credits when they paid no taxes! Our southern border has been left wide open by Obama for years now yet they have to frisk people at the airport.ISIS says they now have cells in every state, how do you think they got there Einstein? Not through the airports! Everything they do to supposedly protect us,all the freedoms we have given up under the guise of safety is completely pointless and utterly ridiculous when they purposefully leave a 2,000 mile border open to all who want to come in. You`re defending this? Are you that incapable of independent thought that everything is left or right? By the way, Obama doesn`t give a rats ass about these people. he just wants the votes.

Actually,if every single one of them is knowingly and illegally entering another country,then every single one of them is a bad apple.

How do you suppose that illegals are stopped from voting? By having to show an ID at the voting booth? But I thought that requiring ID's to vote was discriminatory.
It looks like there are plenty of states that do not require any document to vote...
