Obama unveils sweeping immigration reforms.

President Barack Obama has ordered far -reaching
changes to the US immigration system that will
protect nearly 5 million people from deportation ,
testing the limits of his presidential powers and
inviting a showdown with newly emboldened
Republicans .
In a speech on Thursday night , Obama announced
plans to protect nearly 5 million immigrants living
illegally in the United States from deportation by
granting them work permits ; millions more would
remain in limbo .
Obama said his executive actions were a
" commonsense" plan consistent with what
previous presidents of both parties had done .
" To those members of Congress who question my
authority to make our immigration system work
better , or question the wisdom of me acting where
Congress has failed , I have one answer : Pass a
bill ," Obama said .
Republicans , who take full control of Congress in
January after capturing the Senate from
Democrats , warned that Obama would face serious
consequences for what they described as an
unconstitutional power grab .
" The president will come to regret the chapter
history writes if he does move forward , " declared
Senator Mitch McConnell , the Republican who is
soon to become the Senate majority leader, hours
before Obama primetime address .
Republicans were united in opposing Obama's
move but divided on how to respond. Lawmakers
have raised options including lawsuits, a
government shutdown and even impeachment.
Party leaders who are seeking to avoid a
government shutdown say such moves could
backfire and anger voters ahead of the next
presidential election in two years .

We have an increasing wave of armed robbery, kidnapping terrorism and other serious violent crimes which the regular police personnel have not been trained to curb or combat, therefore we are going to have SARS but it has to be totally overhauled. Nigerians protesting against SARS saying any demonstration by Nigerian against perceived injustice should be encouraged but the protesters must also be made to appreciate that the law has taken care of all their concerns and fears. What we are therefore required to do is to ensure that the laws are enforced which has made it illegal to detain a Nigerian without taking him to the court in a place like Lagos or in the rural areas beyond 48hours. SARS is constituted by armed troops, soldiers and police personnel all over the country. Every state government maintains the SARS in the country and these state governments have not bothered to find out what is this bod...
