My apologies to the mods if this topic is not permitted here.
That said I think this is something that affects us all and which we can and should care about. The very likely executive order granting unilateral amnesty to illegal aliens. He can by executive order, issue a pardon for any illegal acts (think Nixon's pardon) they have committed related to breaking immigration laws and at the same time basically grant citizen ship (think Cuban boat people) assuming the people want it.

This is what Obama said during his meeting with House Reprsentative Gutiérrez earlier.

This what you can do if you want to do so to try and stop such action by the POTUS.

For the record I have nothing against immigrants and as long as they follow the laws I welcome them. In fact we do need a steady stream of new citizens with a desire and motivation to work and follow the American dream However the current "dreamers" are a distortion of the very concept of an American Dream.
Finally strongly consider going out and campaigning for anyone except Landrieu in Nov 2014.
America is a strong republic. However, since it is a republic it is the job of the citizens to ensure that the representatives we have elected honor the laws. A republic is only as good as its citizens who maintain it.

When President Obama issues executive orders on immigration in coming weeks, pro-reform activists are expecting something dramatic: temporary relief from deportation and work authorization for perhaps several million undocumented immigrants. If the activists are right, the sweeping move would upend a contentious policy fight and carry broad political consequences.

This is what Obama said during his meeting with House Reprsentative Gutiérrez earlier.
Days after telling La Raza convention attendees that he is confident President Obama will use executive action to give legal status to millions of immigrants in the United States illegally, Representative Luis Gutiérrez (D., Ill.) predicted that the administration could legalize as many as 5 million people.
Appearing on Morning Joe on Friday, Gutiérrez said he will meet with White House officials later in the day *to negotiate additional terms and avenues the president can use* through executive action.
*I think we can get 3 or 4, maybe even 5 million people,* he said.

Senate Budget Committee ranking member Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) is putting a call out to the American people: He needs help to kill President Barack Obama’s plans to grant executive amnesty to millions of illegal aliens.
Sessions wants Americans to melt Congress’ phone lines, demanding their members make a precondition of any border crisis bill that Obama’s executive order amnesty via the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and any future plans be stopped.
*The American people have begged and pleaded for years for our laws to be enforced,* Sessions said in his statement. *We have people in our own country living in violence, fear and poverty every single day. They have demanded an immigration policy that puts their jobs, wages and communities first. Every citizen should pick up the phone and ask of their congressional representative: where do you stand?*
