Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, a good friend of the Constitution and We the People, has sent President Obama a powerful letter co-signed by 20 senators. The letter spells out many unlawful aspects of Obama’s recent announcement that he will not enforce U.S. laws against young illegal aliens and will reward their illegal status with residency and work permits.
Grassley doesn’t mince words in his letter. He accuses Obama of taking an action for which he lacks legal authority, is contrary to his constitutional duty to “take care that the laws be faithfully executed,” is an affront to representative government and the legislative process in bypassing Congress, and is an inappropriate use of executive power.
Grassley points out that Obama has full knowledge that his action was unlawful. Just last year, Obama stated, “This notion that somehow I can just change the laws unilaterally is just not true. … We live in a democracy. You have to pass bills through the legislature, and then I can sign it.”
Here are a few of the 29 questions, slightly paraphrased and condensed, which Grassley asked the president to answer.
Why has your position on your legal authority changed? Did you consult with attorneys about this and get a legal opinion and, if so, please provide copies of those legal opinions and emails? How will you treat the parents and others who deliberately violated federal immigration law by illegally bringing these young people into the U.S.?

He doesn’t really plan to do anything for these people. This is just another way of telling people what they want to hear so they will vote for him.
That is why he made it a 2 year visa and work permit. Just throw them a bone to gain votes and after he gets their vote, he will throw them under the bus.
What better targets to gain votes? brainwash and manipulate the the uneducated, the desperate looking for hand outs, and the lazies looking for hand outs along with naive youth and the weak minded. These are the easiest to control and manipulate. They are also the easiest to throw under the bus with little repercussion.
Just read a few different blogs that stated welfare claims have risen 41% under Obama. Its about to rise more now with his Criminal Amnesty order.
Obama needs a letter all right. He needs to get a letter telling him he’s going to be impeached!!!!!!!!! Enough playing nice with this un-American tyrant/dictator/ wannabe king!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ABO in 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!
