Slate’s Use of Your Data. Critics Say Executive Action on Immigration Would Be Unprecedented. They Forget Their History. October 1, 2014 The president's announcement that he would soon take executive action to "to do what he could" to fix a broken immigration system in the absence of legislation has prompted critics to assert that this would be unprecedented unless first authorized by Congress.
In fact, the record demonstrates the opposite. For at least the last 70 years, presidents have routinely acted first to permit the entry of people outside normal channels or to protect large numbers of people from deportation, with legislation ratifying the executive action coming later. During World War II, the Roosevelt administration negotiated a temporary worker arrangement with the Mexican government, later known as the Bracero program, an action Congress ratified a year later. The DHS Has Been Using A Fake Mexican Constitution Article To Deport US Citizens For 35 Years. We're used to our government's security and intelligence agencies telling lies in order to justify their actions.
The Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper, has achieved a sort of infamy for his "least untruthful answer" in response to questioning.

(Photo: Anuska Sampedro / Flickr) As organizations participating in the Dignity Campaign for Immigration Reform Based on Human and Labor Rights, we are very concerned about the harsh impact the Senate's immigration reform bill will have on immigrants. Rather than 'bring immigrants out of the shadows' this bill will hold millions in an underclass, vulnerable to exploitation and relegated to the ranks of the working poor, with no access to basic services.

Jose Antonio Elena Rodriguez was shot 10 times in the back and the head 14 months ago here in Nogales, Sonora.
