This should be interesting, if possible. That's an awful lot of pardons, and I don't know the law behind it nor pretend to, but I would imagine he would have the power somehow if he wanted to. I don't know who makes the short list. I really don't think the amounts being discussed will happen anyway. And certainly not 11 million or whatever the total is. Anyone been busted for crimes in addition, and they know their location? That I wouldn't mind if they went after first. We've seen too much of that over the years. Most of these folks are probably long gone in different directions by now though. Round up those you can that truly shouldn't be here. Enforce enforce enforce enforce! Uphold our laws. Make sure these numbers that have been skyrocketing come to a screeching halt.

Illegals demand Obama issue mass pardons, last-ditch effort to stop Trump deportations
Illegal immigrants are preparing to ask President Obama to pardon some 750,000 illegal immigrant Dreamers, saying it’s their last, best hope to stave off what they fear will be a wave of deportations once Donald Trump takes office.
Community leaders have planned a rally in New York on Wednesday to make the request.
“Millions of law abiding undocumented immigrants are fearful of what will happen when the new Administration takes control in January,” the group said in a statement announcing the rally. “However, President Obama has the power of pardons that he can use to protect all DACA enrollees.”
As of September, more than 740,000 illegal immigrants had been approved for Mr. Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, a mini-amnesty that grants young adult illegal immigrants a two-year stay of deportation and issues them work permits, entitling them to driver’s licenses and some taxpayer benefits.
President-elect Donald Trump has signaled he would cancel that order, putting Mr. Obama in a bind. The president said this week that Mr. Trump should go slowly on rolling back those actions.
But the advocates want more assurances, in the form of a pardon.
