How interesting that the author frequently uses the phrase "We the People" found in our Constitution, yet conveniently ignores the fact that this legislation is totally unconstitutional.

Hmmm, Mr. Salvato seems to have missed this small section of the bill:
Section 102(c) of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (8 U.S.C. 1103 note) is amended to read as follows:

`(c) Waiver-

`(1) IN GENERAL- Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Secretary of Homeland Security shall have the authority to waive, and shall waive, all laws such Secretary, in such Secretary's sole discretion, determines necessary to ensure expeditious construction of the barriers and roads under this section.

`(2) NO JUDICIAL REVIEW- Notwithstanding any other provision of law (statutory or nonstatutory), no court, administrative agency, or other entity shall have jurisdiction--

`(A) to hear any cause or claim arising from any action undertaken, or any decision made, by the Secretary of Homeland Security pursuant to paragraph (1); or

`(B) to order compensatory, declaratory, injunctive, equitable, or any other relief for damage alleged to arise from any such action or decision.'.

The only person who determines whether a particular law applies to this is the Director of Homeland Security. He doesn't have to justify that decision to anyone and that decision is now removed from judicial review. Also, isn't it interesting how Congress has no problem removing this matter from judicial review, but they can't seem to remove other non-federal issues from judicial review.
