According to NumbersUSA, rumors are swirling around Capitol Hill that the Obama administration may provide amnesty for the country's 11-18 million illegal aliens via executive order.

Sens. Grassley, (R-Iowa), Hatch (R-Utah), Vitter (R-La.), Bunning (R-Ky.), Chambliss (R-Ga.), Isakson (R-Ga.), Inhofe (R-Okla.), and Cochran (R-Miss.). addressed a letter to President Obama demanding that he address the rumors.

The senators worry that the White House is formulating a plan with DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano to provide amnesty if Democrats are not able to secure enough votes for a "comprehensive" immigration plan in the Senate.
