President Barack Obama's impending unilateral order awarding legal status to millions of immigrants is not unprecedented. Two of the last three Republican presidents _ Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush _ did the same thing in extending amnesty to family members not covered by the last major overhaul of immigration law in 1986. There was no political explosion then comparable to the one Republicans are threatening now. (AP Photo/Charles Tasnadi, File) (AP)

Ted Cruz once proudly wore a belt buckle reading President of the United States borrowed from George H.W. Bush. He campaigned and worked for, and helped write a book lavishing praise on, that former presidents son, Dubya. And the endorsement of George P. Bush, the familys latest rising political star, lent credibility to Cruzs then little-known 2012 Senate campaign. (AP Photo/Barry Thumma, File) (AP)
