The plan:
1. Create a crisis
2. Overwhelm the system
3. Act by executive order
The purpose: Consolidation of power.
In practice:
1. Create a crisis by showing that the immigration laws of the United States are not being enforced, while allowing the transport, through the borders of multiple countries, of tens of thousands of illegal aliens.
Questions: Are we supposed to believe that tens of thousands of Central America’s indigents suddenly, all at once, as a group, could come up with the money to pay the coyotes? Or that the coyotes, working for the cartels that control all the smuggling into the country, are not getting paid? Or that the transport of thousands of people on a daily basis is a completely spontaneous, uncoordinated, serendipitous, action?
2. Overwhelm the system (with the added bonus of a national security threat):
National Border Patrol Council NBPC Statement on Influx of Juveniles in Rio Grande Valley Sector (h/t Tree Hugging Sister; emphasis added)
Nearly half of all Border Patrol agents assigned to the Rio Grande Valley are working at duties that would not be considered to be law enforcement. These duties include feeding, clothing, and watching after children. These duties are slowly being taken over by FEMA and other governmental groups, but still leave a small group of agents protecting our borders. The cartels know this and have been actively exploiting the situation. Cartels are forcing juveniles and illegal aliens to cross the border in between the ports of entries because it further ties up Border Patrol agents in the field. In effect, cartels are using these immigrants as a human shield to divert resources that would otherwise be spent interrupting their trafficking operations. Once the agents are taken out of the equation, the cartels are smuggling drugs, weapons, and special interest aliens across the border unfettered. At a time when agents are most needed to deal with the cartel threat, they are unavailable because they are either dealing with a tidal wave of humanity by either arresting juveniles and families in the field or by processing them in the stations.
. . .
This situation, which started due to violence and dire economic conditions in Central America, has now exploded due to the message being relayed that the immigration laws of the United States are not being enforced. Interviews with detainees reflect this and this situation will continue if there are not consequences for breaking the immigration laws of the United States. We cannot continue to release detainees, even with the goal of deporting them in the future, if we hope to stop the flow of illegal aliens through the Rio Grande Valley. Mandatory detention and deportation is the only consequence that will resolve the problem.

3. Act by executive order: If the crisis is severe enough – which at the current rate it certainly will be – Obama will allow ipso facto legal status to all of them. The question is not whether he would do that; he will. The question is, would he grant them citizenship after the midterm elections and before the new Congress takes office in January 2015?
Arguably the most effective president in recent history: “We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.”
