In The Orange County Register Friday, OCPA fellow Matt Mayer illuminates the unintended consequences of President Obama's imperial decision to implement parts of a stealth-amnesty-for-illegal-immigrants act, which failed to pass Congress:

President Obama's unilateral decision to implement parts of the failed DREAM Act legislation has allowed "dreamers" to game the system and stay in the U.S. illegally, according to two union leaders representing immigration agents.
