ICE Director Saldana Tells Congressman: We Follow Obama Rules, Not The Law…
Conservative Treehouse ^ | April 16, 2015 | Sundance

Posted on 04/16/2015 11:32:31 AM PDT by Ray76

Those following the Obama Immigration Executive Action legal battles will note yesterday Congressman Young was asking Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director Saldana the exact same point outlined in Judge Hanen’s rebuke of the White House.

So yesterday ICE Director Saldana is on Capitol Hill answering questions when Republican David Young asks Mrs. Saldana about the conflict between the law, and the rules imposed by President Obama that force border patrol agents to: a.) break the law, or b.) break Obama’s executive action rules.

How Saldana replies is, well, JAW DROPPING.

All powers are swirling into the executive vortex.

Elections alone have not, and cannot cure what ails our once republic.

Yet some conservatives tell us to fear an Article V convention to propose amendments to the constitution.

Sheesh.

French King Louis XIV proclaimed, “L’Etat c’est moi!” (”I am the state!”), one of the most arrogant and self-important claims ever made by royalty, seems to be the manner of governance followed by Current Occupant. To hell with any accursed code of law, comply with the command given you.

It’s unreal that things have arrived here. There seems to be no recourse of any action. Courts don’t matter. Legislative branch doesn’t seem to matter. Having the same executive ignoring laws also overseeing the department of justice seems to be the problem. Not the first time but definitely the worst instance.

French King Louis XIV proclaimed, “L’Etat c’est moi!” (”I am the state!”)

And Mussolini said: "All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state."

Obama is partial to the conjunction of the two assertions.

“If I had policies or directives that were contrary to the law, I would understand if they didn’t want to follow them. I would expect them to follow the law first,” Representative Young said.

To that, Saldana replied, “And that’s where you and I probably have a fundamental disagreement.”

Unbelievable.

Surely one of the “policies and directives” is (or used to be) that an ICE employee is to follow the law — or else. Now, it’s don’t follow the law — or else.
