(BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA, MARCH 2011) -"With respect to the notion that I can just suspend deportations through executive order, that’s just not the case, because there are laws on the books that Congress has passed — and I know that everybody here at Bell is studying hard so you know that we’ve got three branches of government.
Congress passes the law. The executive br...anch’s job is to enforce and implement those laws. And then the judiciary has to interpret the laws."
"Today, as America watched, Obama firmly established his dictatorship by bypassing Congress and the will of the American people with the stroke of his Presidential pen on an executive order doing exactly what he publicly stated last year was UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND BEYOND HIS SCOPE OF POWER."
Are you saying that his policy is now not to deport any illegal immigrants? My understanding is that he simply allowed ICE to use prosecutorial discretion to emphasize the top priority is the deportation of those most harmful to the United States, and to allow certain immigrants, such as those who serve in the Armed Forces or are seeking education, who provide a benefit to the United States to be the lowest priority.

Outrage-of-the-day... :yawn: He didn't do anything that bypassed Congress' legislative powers. But he sure made them look stupid trying to defend their obstructionism-at-all-costs to the Hispanic population with their weeping and wailing...
How's that Latino vote coming for ya? (And women?...and LBGT?...and Seniors?...and Blacks?...and ...)

Some illegal aliens are more legal than others?
Well, at least he doesn't have a zero tolerance policy.

I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

No, if you read my post, and the executive order, some illegal aliens pose more harm to the United States than others. I believe most reasonable Americans would prefer those who commit felony crimes, those who are terrorists, etc. to be deported quicker than those who serve in our Armed Forces, or who are seeking a higher education.

I'm surprised Barry didn't have the Secret Service pounce on this guy and send him off to Club Gitmo!
