The president does not make law, congress does.... The only immigration “REFORM” I will accept is to begin vigorously enforcing the laws already on the books without exception.
Laws are written and passed by Congress. The President may sign or veto bills. The president enforces the law. Congress mandates enforcement and funds it.

Might I suggest that you rearead the Constitution and Federalist Papers over the weekend?

“The president enforces the law”.
Ah, not this one, I would like to see him personally “Enforce” some of the alleged laws he has pushed!
What laws he does “Enforce” are selective and politically motivated.
In reality the “President” does NOT enforce anything, that is left to the alphabet agencies he stacks with his sycophants as directors.
Thus we end up with constant changes via “Law” being “Reinterpreted” with each change of agency head.
Loads of fun for lawyers, not so much for business and the public.

“Congress mandates enforcement and funds it.”
Again, not too true of late, our congress ignores most existing law to ingratiate themselves to special interest groups by passing “New” redundant laws.
Valid laws are left unfunded, or the funds allowed to be “Redirected”.
Czars and illegitimate offices are created, and congress does NOT force their de-funding.

At present our system is badly damaged, if not broken.
The (ignored) constitution is rendered moot under these circumstances.

I will stand by my statement, the intent was clear.
