Obama Grant Amnesty To Illegals Through Executive Order?

From Numbers USA:
Dear President Obama:
We understand that there’s a push for your Administration to develop a plan to unilaterally extend either deferred action or parole to millions of illegal aliens in the United States. We understand that the Administration may include aliens who have willfully overstayed their visas or filed for benefits knowing that they will not be eligible for a status for years to come. We understand that deferred action and parole are discretionary actions reserved for individual cases that present unusual, emergent or humanitarian circumstances. Deferred action and parole were not intended to be used to confer a status or offer protection to large groups of illegal aliens, even if the agency claims that they look at each case on a “case-by-case” basis.
While we agree our immigration laws need to be fixed, we are deeply concerned about the potential expansion of deferred action or parole for a large illegal alien population. While deferred action and parole are Executive Branch authorities, they should not be used to circumvent Congress’ constitutional authority to legislate immigration policy, particularly as it relates to the illegal population in the United States.
The Administration would be wise to abandon any plans for deferred action or parole for the illegal population. Such a move would further erode the American public’s confidence in the federal government and its commitment to securing the borders and enforcing the laws already on the books.
We would appreciate receiving a commitment that the Administration has no plans to use either authority to change the current position of a large group of illegal aliens already in the United States, and ask that you respond to us about this matter as soon as possible.

This letter was sent by the following Senators: Grassley, Hatch (R-Utah), Vitter (R-La.), Bunning (R-Ky.), Chambliss (R-Ga.), Isakson (R-Ga.), Inhofe (R-Okla.), and Cochran (R-Miss.).
If this it is true that Obama grants amnesty to illegals via executive order, I think all hell will break out. There actually may be riots in the street if this happens as this would be a definite sign that Obama is acting like a dictator. If this is done before the elections, Democrats will be lucky to win a handful of seats. If he does this after the elections, I see impeachment.
On the other hand, this also maybe a scare tactic by the Senators involved in an effort to scare voters into voting for the GOP in November. If this is true, it is a rotten political trick, on par with Democrats saying the GOP will steal social security away from seniors and the disabled.
So, we will see what Obama has to say. If Obama fails to respond or puts out a very poor response, look out below and lock the doors.
