The law clearly states this is the province of the executive branch to enforce immigration law.

So it is. But the law does NOT say that it is province of the exec branch to pick & choose what parts of the law to enforce. Nor does it permit them do the opposite of selected portions of the law. To do these things is de facto legislation and unconstitutional. The entire law must be enforced, at least in a real constitutional republic.

Much of what the EB has been doing for years is clearly unconstitutional. But the congress takes the attitude that since it's been going on already, it would be improper to start enforcing the Constitution now. Just let it continue.

Correct. They do mention that issue in this joint statement.

Let's face it, we have a huge problem with this administration.
