At least wait until it gets to a Circuit Court before we get our bacon in an uproar.

I don't know which Federal Circuit the case is in, but a District Court is just a start.

Jeez, judicial activism run amok. The case did not even raise this issue; the Bush-appointed judge just reached for it for no apparent reason.

As Obama said when is congress going to address immigrations with some actual legislation? It's their job to address it why haven't they instead of boohooing about it? I know the answer it's bc it easier to point the finger than offer meaningful solutions.

Would this decision make the same exact actions by Presidents Reagan and Bush Sr. null and void?

Well, a legitimate approach, if not necessarily the best one for the country, is to say that the current laws on the books are fine and no new laws are needed.

I would agree with his approach since it temporary gives productive immigrants in this country time to become legal without the fear of being kicked out at least for now.

How can executive action give a non-resident alien the authority to work in the US? Hasn't Congress set up a system of visas for exactly that purpose?

I'm not sure if he overstepped any law there, but it strikes me as very possible.

At any rate he's trying to goad Congress into passing legislation. The GOP doesn't want to vote on it because it will go from some vague issue that they can hammer Obama with to real legislation that will likely divide the tea party and the mainstream.

Here's one:

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/11/21/us/politics/obamas-immigration-decision-has-precedents-but-may-set-a-new-one.html

Mr. Bush moved in 1990 to allow 1.5 million undocumented spouses and children of immigrants who were in the process of becoming legal permanent residents to stay in the country and obtain work permits. At the time, that amounted to about 40 percent of the immigrants living without documentation in the United States. Mr. Obama’s order would affect about 45 percent of the undocumented immigrants.

Here's the legal justification for such action:

http://www.justice.gov/sites/default/files/olc/opinions/attachments/2014/11/20/2014-11-19-auth-prioritize-removal.pdf

Further, and notably, additional provisions of the INA expressly contem- plate that the Secretary may grant work authorization to aliens lacking lawful immigration status—even those who are in active removal proceedings or, in certain circumstances, those who have already received final orders of removal. See id. § 1226(a)(3) (permitting the Secretary to grant work authorization to an otherwise work-eligible alien who has been arrested and detained pending a decision whether to remove the alien from the United States); id. § 1231(a)(7) (permitting the Secretary under certain narrow circumstances to grant work authorization to aliens who have received final orders of removal). Consistent with these provisions, the Secretary has long permitted certain additional classes of aliens who lack lawful immigration status to apply for work authorization, including deferred action recipients who can demonstrate an economic necessity for employment. See 8 C.F.R. §274a.12(c)(14); see also id. §274a.12(c)(8) (applicants for asylum), (c)(10) (applicants for cancellation of removal); supra note 11 (discussing 1981 regulations).
