According to a report in POLITICO, President Obama is expected to make good on his executive amnesty threat on Friday during an event in Las Vegas, despite saying repeatedly over the years that he does not have the authority to change immigration laws from the Oval Office.

House Speaker John Boehner, who warned the President shortly after the 2014 midterm elections that acting alone on immigration would “poison the well,” has taken notice of Obama’s past statements. After some research, his office found President Obama directly claimed 22 times he couldn’t take executive action on immigration because he doesn’t have the authority.

Over the weekend President Obama was questioned during an overseas trip about his change in position with executive action looming and tried to argue his position on the extent of his authority to change immigration law hasn’t changed at all.

aa753c43-846c-4c97-8c18-6da9ff581f85Poll: Many Latinos Disapprove of Obama’s Executive Amnesty

Nearly half of Americans disapprove of President Barack Obama’s expected plan to take executive action that would potentially allow millions of undocumented immigrants to stay legally in the United States, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.

Latinos are divided, with 43 percent supporting the action and 37 percent opposing it. But the sample size here is small (just 110 Latino respondents), so the numbers have a high margin of error.

There’s just a six percent difference in Latinos who do and do not support the President’s plan to rewrite immigration law with an executive order. Notice how NBC was sure to add a note questioning the numbers due to a small sample size, ignoring that the margin of error could also result in more Latinos being against executive amnesty.
