In my mind this is an example of the deception we are seeing today. Unfortunately, this has become all to common these days, where people say one thing and then do another behind close doors.
The government has found a way to give amnesty to some illegal aliens without even passing a law, basicly by-passing congress. Take a look at the article and make sure you keep your eyes out for other examples like this.

Lacking votes for amnesty? No problem… Article from OneNewsNow.com

An organization that advocates for immigration reduction says a recently revealed memo confirms President Barack Obama’s plan to use his presidential authority to circumvent Congress and give de facto amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants in the U.S.
As reported on OneNewsNow, a group of U.S. senators led by Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) have sent letters to the administration asking for answers about a plan that would allow Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano to provide an amnesty to illegal aliens if the administration cannot secure enough votes for a bill in the Senate.

Now a Justice Department memo leaked to Grassley outlines the strategy that can be used to grant de facto amnesty to illegal aliens by effectively lessening the standards used in determining “extreme hardship” cases. Under certain circumstances, illegal aliens can remain in the country under laws already on the books.
Rosemary Jenks, director of government relations at Numbers USA, says the memo reveals how the Obama administration intends to grant blanket amnesty to certain groups.
“They talk about categories like all of the illegal aliens who would be eligible for the DREAM Act, if [that legislation] were to pass,” she offers as an example. “Well, of course the DREAM Act was voted on in the Senate and it failed — and yet here they are talking about how to keep these illegal aliens here anyway.”
There is more, says Jenks. “They’re also talking about how to give amnesty to illegal aliens who have lived here in the United States for a long time,” she explains, “apparently the theory being that the longer you can successfully violate our law, the bigger the reward.”
Jenks says all this could be accomplished without the approval of Congress.
