But that was supposed to be a one time - never again.
Looks like he was wrong.
Two of the last three Republican presidents — Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush — did the same thing in extending amnesty to family members who were not covered by the last major overhaul of immigration law in 1986.
There was no political explosion then comparable to the one Republicans are threatening now.

Of course let's just leave out that Reagan faced STRONG opposition from the house republicans. And conservatives have always claimed that this was a betrayal.
The O/P is dishonest and hateful.

Preach, but apparently what you are opposing includes many presidents. Must not be illegal.
Preach, just trying to enter a few threads to counter the exceedingly numerous hate Obama threads. ...
Attorney General Paxton Asks Federal Judge for Discovery to Investigate Obama Administration Misrepresentation
AUSTIN – The Texas Attorney General's Office today filed a motion for discovery after the Obama Administration admitted that tens of thousands of expanded work permits have already been issued to illegal immigrants, in contradiction to the facts the administration presented in U.S. federal court.
“In an apparent attempt to quickly execute President Obama’s unlawful, unconstitutional amnesty plan, the Obama Administration appears to have already been issuing expanded work permits, in direct contradiction to what they told a federal judge previously in this litigation,” said General Paxton. “The circumstances behind this must be investigated, and the motion we seek would help us determine to what extent the Administration might have misrepresented the facts in this case.”
So your at war here? Get a life crab.Preach, just trying to enter a few threads to counter the exceedingly numerous hate Obama threads.

If I presented you two criminals:
Criminal A has committed 10 robberies, but only stolen $50 total.
Criminal B has committed 1 robbery, but stole $4 million and shot a security guard.
Would you still think Criminal A was the worse criminal, simply because he has committed a greater number of crimes?
If I presented you two baseball players:
Player A has 165 hits on the season, and has driven in 25 runs.
Player B has only 100 hits on the season, but has driven in 60 runs.
Do you think Player A is the more valuable player to his team, simply because he has more hits?
The number of times a President exercises Executive Order is meaningless compared to the ranging effects of those orders.
