Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee are raising concerns about internal Department of Homeland Security documents that appear to reveal that the Obama administration is considering unilaterally granting working permits to ineligible foreign nationals in the U.S. Such actions, they charge, would not only circumvent the legislative process but also flout a federal court injunction blocking President Obama’s executive amnesty.

The Department of Homeland Security is officially disavowing the agency’s June memo that urged U.S. employers be given the ability to quickly hire in-country foreign professionals and foreign graduates instead of job-seeking American millennials.

This all has nothing to do with laws, courts, elections, or the will of the American people. It’s a pure exercise in absolute tyranny.

Sadly, the issuance of work permits is often an overlooked part of the President’s amnesty.
