Moonbutt, I feel pretty confident they would go through Congress.
So you think that not going through Congress is wrong, even though it has been done since Washington was president, in fact he started it?
Obama just threw a major trump card on Romney.
Link? According to this article there are only two valid reasons for going around Congress and pandering for votes isn't one.
Under Article II, Section 3 of the Constitution, the president has the duty to take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed. This provision was included to make sure that the president could not simply choose, as the British King had, to cancel legislation simply because he disagreed with it. President Obama cannot refuse to carry out a congressional statute simply because he thinks it advances the wrong policy. To do so violates the very core of his constitutional duties.

It's politics. He needs the votes. This isn't about "being nice." I am shocked at how obvious this is.
And for the record, I should have made the title, "We all know why Obama wants illegal aliens considered "legal"" for clarification purposes, I am not against lawful immigration.
The fact that Romney's response to this was so tepid in its opposition, compared to Romney's usual over the top hysterical outcries over anything Obama says should tell you that Obama hit this one out of the park.
