Obama: 'Consequences' for ICE Officials Who Don't Follow Executive Amnesty
weeklystandard.com ^ | 2/25/15 | Daniel Halper

Posted on 02/25/2015 5:18:26 PM PST by cotton1706

President Obama warned workers at the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement: implement executive amnesty, or else. He made the comments in a town hall event on immigration on MSNBC.

According to the White House pool report, President Obama was asked for reassurance that people wouldn't be deported as the legal battle over the executive amnesty plays out in the courts.

“Until we pass a law through Congress, the executive actions we’ve taken are not going to be permanent; they are temporary. There are going to be some jurisdictions and there may be individual ICE official or Border Control agent not paying attention to our new directives. But they’re going to be answerable to the head of Homeland Security because he’s been very clear about what our priorities will be,” Obama said, according to a partial transcript provided by the pool reporter.

“Not only are we going to have to win this legal fight.. but ultimately we’re still going to pass a law through Congress. The bottom line is I’m using all the legal power invested in me in order to solve this problem.”

“If somebody’s working for ICE … and they don’t follow the policy, there’s going to be consequences to it.”

“Obama needs to be arrested.”

He really does. He is overtly criminal.

” ... the executive actions we’ve taken are not going to be permanent; they are temporary.”

IOW, the things he expressly admitted he was not empowered to do, but then went ahead and did anyway.

But there seem to be no meaningful consequences for a president who acts outside the law.

If I was ICE agent, I’d only let ISIS in as long as they promised to go to DC.

I think there is enough power for the good to put this guy where he belongs,in a cell,but can’t understand why it is not being done. I guess it has to do with enough people who value their jobs over true patriotism & not enough people available to march on the WH...properly equipped,of course.

The Judge could probably hold him in contempt but that didn’t stop Eric Holder.

The rule of law no longer exists. Anything that is done within the bounds of the law other than physical removal of Obama is useless.

According to Obama’s leftist thinking, he should be in jail on treason charges because he refused to follow the law of the Constitution.

Some red pigs are more equal than other pigs.

Obama wants to destroy the country to prove that we’re no better than the worst hellhole. Guess he thinks if he tears us down that somehow that process elevates lowlifes. It doesn’t.

This country is faced with REAL SICKNESS.

And the Congress fiddles while America burns. Total tragedy.

There won't be an "enough". Not with the makeup (and very-near-future even worse makeup) of the population. It will all just continue to morph into crap.
