As Twitchy reported earlier, The Obama administration announced that it would be providing even more illegal alien deportation waivers. Michelle Malkin correctly called it “Occupy Open Borders.”

Sigh. Orrin Hatch.
Lapdog media alert!
Obama in Rose Garden now to announce new immigration policy permitting some young people to remain without threat of deportation
— Kelly O'Donnell (@KellyO) June 15, 2012
Cue the scary music again.
“Effective immediately, the Department of Homeland Security is taking steps to lift the shadow of deportation from these young people.”
— Barack Obama (@BarackObama) June 15, 2012
Shadow of deportation. Is that like those “shadowy groups” to whom the President is always referring?
POTUS is scaring me. I'm pretty sure I'm from the U.S.
— Sam Youngman (@samyoungman) June 15, 2012
And the tiny violins.
Obama: "Imagine you've done everything right your whole life…" And then some hack politician gives citizenship away.
— John Hayward (@Doc_0) June 15, 2012
"For all intents and purposes are Americans." Citizenship is garbage written on toilet paper to this President.
— John Hayward (@Doc_0) June 15, 2012
Bingo.
Birds are stealing President Obama’s vote-grabbing thunder.
SHUT UP BIRDS! you're distracting me
— Sam Stein (@samstein) June 15, 2012
The birds like the speech. Pretty soon they're going to fly over and dress him for the Royal Ball.
— John Podhoretz (@jpodhoretz) June 15, 2012
More nonsense from The One.
So w/ US economy struggling, Obama announces new high skill immigration proposal? Did i get that right?
— James Pethokoukis (@JimPethokoukis) June 15, 2012
Whatever! Doing just fine! Buy another thingamajig.
Update: Wow!
Reporter interrupting Pres. identified self as Neil Monroe of Daily Caller. He shouted "Is it the right thing to do for American workers."
— Mark Knoller (@markknoller) June 15, 2012
Tucker Carlson confirms to me that @NeilMunroDC of his Web site The Daily Caller was the reporter who interrupted President Obama's remarks.
— Brian Stelter (@brianstelter) June 15, 2012
The consensus:MT @mikememoli: It was @NeilMunroDC //of the web based @TheDailyCaller. Whoever he is, interrupting any Pres is not helpful
