Analyst's note: You will remember Obama's Immigration Enforcement Down. Job Prospects for Unemployed Americans and Wages for American Workers Down. Despite assurances that nothing will happen until after the upcoming election, now we learn the following regarding executive action to hand amnesty to millions of illegal aliens. Guess who is already paying the bill for this and will soon pay much, much more.
Today we find out that it has already begun. The Obama Administration is already soliciting bids for a “surge” up to 34 million “green cards” and work permits for illegal aliens.

Last month, Barack Obama announced that he was delaying executive action to hand amnesty to millions of illegal aliens, until after the election.
Today we find out that it has already begun.
The Obama Administration is already soliciting bids for a “surge” up to 34 million “green cards” and work permits for illegal aliens.
Breitbart reports:
Unnoticed until now, a draft solicitation for bids issued by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Oct. 6 says potential vendors must be capable of handling a “surge” scenario of 9 million id cards in one year “to support possible future immigration reform initiative requirements.”
The request for proposals says the agency will need a minimum of four million cards per year. In the “surge,” scenario in 2016, the agency would need an additional five million cards – more than double the baseline annual amount for a total of 9 million.
“The guaranteed minimum for each ordering period is 4,000,000 cards. The estimated maximum for the entire contract is 34,000,000 cards,” the document says.
The agency is buying the materials need to construct both Permanent Residency Cards (PRC), commonly known as green cards, as well as Employment Authorization Documentation (EAD) cards which have been used to implement President Obama’s “Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals” (DACA) program. The RFP does not specify how many of each type of card would be issued.
Jessica Vaughan, an immigration expert at the Center for Immigration Studies and former State Department official, said the document suggests a new program of remarkable breadth.
The RFP “seems to indicate that the president is contemplating an enormous executive action that is even more expansive than the plan that Congress rejected in the ‘Gang of Eight’ bill,” Vaughan said.
Last year, Vaughan reviewed the Gang of Eight’s provisions to estimate that it would have roughly doubled legal immigration. In the “surge” scenario of this RFP, even the relatively high four million cards per year would be more than doubled, meaning that even on its own terms, the agency is preparing for a huge uptick of 125 percent its normal annual output.
Lawless. Illegal. Unconstitutional. All of these terms are being used to describe this outrage this morning. But it will happen unless the people stand up to defeat it.
Two things you can do right now:
(1) Defeat every single Democrat running for Senate this year, and “flip” the Senate away from Harry Reid’s and Obama’s control.
(2) Contact your Governor, state Attorney General, and state representatives to demand they file preliminary injunctions in Federal Court to stop Obama’s lawless executive action. If even one court freezes the plan, it may be enough to stop it before 2016.
Remind your state’s elected officials that Federal judge in Texas ruled last year that the entire DACA program is likely unconstitutional and may be thrown out in future litigation. If multiple states challenge it, it can be stopped, or at least delayed until a new administration takes over.
