Obama’s imperial power grab on immigration

The Obama administration has taken federal-state relations to a new low in its quest for an unprecedented expansion of presidential power. In response to Arizona’s efforts to identify and arrest undocumented immigrants, the president claims that he can preempt state law whenever its enforcement might irritate a foreign government. This unconstitutional power grab cannot stand.

While the challenge by 26 states to the 2010 Affordable Care Act seeks limits on Congress’s powers, the Arizona law defends the fundamental authority of states to act in contravention of the president’s preferences. There is genuine controversy over the Arizona immigration policy of penalizing illegal immigrants , designed to drive down their numbers and reduce the burdens on the state budgets and institutions, but the case the Supreme Court recently agreed to hear poses broader legal questions that go to our Constitution’s most fundamental principles, executive power and state sovereignty.

Comprehensive Immigration Reform means amnesty for outlaw "immigrants" with cheap and easy American citizenship thrown in, as a bonus, for breaking every American immigration law on the books for years on end.

Only fools and scoundrels reward bad behavior.

Criminal behavior should be punished, not encouraged.

This unconstitutional power grab cannot stand.
