As far as immigration enforcement --Ozero and his elte bureacrats, for political and ideological gain, are systemically subverting the law of the land. One can only imagine what such a corrupt administration as this one will do when they enact, interpret, and enforce policy with regards to health care, energy, education, and financial regulation... Is the United States a country ruled by law or a country ruled by socialist elites?

Here it looks like a slow and deliberate fundamental transformation taking place as this administration subverts the law and its duty to uphold and enforce the law by reinterpreting its duty and changing policies to fit its own goals. This administration seeks to keep a certain demographic of illegal aliens in the United States as long as possible --this policy of selective enforcement and disregard for the intent of existing law effectively creates backdoor amnesty.

Once again, Emperor Obama has spoken. This is exactly the kind of arbitrary and capricious rule that brought about the Revolutionary War.

Morton signed a memo that went out to agencies across the country stating any illegal immigrants who have been charged with deportation have their cases reviewed and be released or absolved of any legal issues with the federal government

This is the government giving the Rule of Law the federal finger. Exactly where are those in leadership positions (mayors, judges, congressmen/women, senators, et al) publicly denouncing this flagrant disregard of America's laws? It appears they just don't give a rat's rump whether or not we become a third world nation. They are sleazebags of the lowest order - all of them who remain silent while this administration subverts the law.

So somewhere along the line we became a land of extralegal agencies that answer to no one. A bloodless coup of the bureaucrats.

“Is the United States a country ruled by law or a country ruled by socialist elites?”

I think we know the answer to that question. To know the remedy requires that we know how we got here.

Our founders did not intend the executive to be able to change domestic laws. Yet congress has given the discretion to the president to interpret them as he sees fit. I think there were two reasons for this. One is socialist and one is human nature.

The Socialist reason is just as we saw with the health care bill. The Senate, seeing that it could not foresee all the unintended consequences of the bill, decided to insert “The Secretary Shall” dozens of times. This, in and of itself, is defacto unconstitutional. The Executive Branch is not supposed to have this discretion but the Socialists can’t pass their agenda without giving the president wide latitude to re-engineer the law as unintended consequences come.

Our forefathers knew this was an inherit problem with government. From Federalist 44,

24 They have seen with regret and indignation that sudden changes and legislative interferences in cases affecting personal rights become jobs in the hands of enterprising and influential speculators, and snares to the more industrious and less informed part of the community.

25 They have seen, too, that one legislative interference is but the first link of a long chain of repetitions, every subsequent interference being naturally produced by the effects of the preceding.

The second reason is simple human nature. Both the politicians who get into congress and those that become president want to take responsibility for all the good stuff and point the finger at the other party OR THE OTHER BRANCH for all the bad stuff. By inserting “The Secretary Shall”, they are able to avoid responsibility for their work. Congress doesn’t have to be clear and it isn’t the president’s law. The process is deliberately ambiguous.

The latter is NOT a Democrat or Republican problem. It is a human problem.

The first step that our next congress could take to remedy this problem is to require that the congress approve all regulations before they are allowed to take effect.

Among other effects, over time, that would diminish the modern presidency.

ICE is part of the enemy within. Defund ‘em. Also replace all executive/upper echelon of the Border Patrol. Boy, are we dreaming or what?!

However, there is a catch. The suspected illegal immigrants must be able to prove they are taking care of necessary paperwork with ICE

"Necessary paperwork" = voter registration form?

So what does this mean. Does this mean all illegals are never to be arrested and deported unless that are guilty of a crime? Isn’t it a crime to enter the US illegally?

I knew that Obama was going to do all of this administratively. He’s been successful at avoiding Congress on certain issues that might be too much even for the Dems, and he has already stealthily imposed a lot of changes through administrative means.

Shortly after he took over, he made an “adjustment” to the so-called quota system in order to encourage immigration from Muslim countries. And this is LEGAL immigration, folks. And there’s nothing we can do about it.

sidebar comment: fill your gas tank now, prices seem to have dipped; and keep it topped off. This is due to my uneducated guess that the war is about to start (days or weeks at most), and when it does, Iran will at least try to shut down petroleum shipments. Besides their agents in the Gulf, they also own the north side of the Gulf, and have missiles and operators in Djibouti. Thanks DBeers.

It is pretty bad when a department of the Federal Government charged with enforcing the law decides on it’s own to not enforce the law. It is time for a house cleaning at ICE.

They are not given the option to decide which laws they want to enforce. They’re mandate is to enforce all the laws to protect the citizens of the United States.

"But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."
