That is all well and good, but the problem here is not that these kids don't deserve to be treated better than their parents or better than people who were criminally liable for being illegal aliens, the problem is that Obama did this on his own.
The LAW provides that these people are to be deported when found. There is no LAW that gives them special treatment. Bush tried to push through legislation that would have done pretty much what Obama did, but when Bush couldn't get the legislation passed, he didn't give an EXECUTIVE ORDER effectively passing the legislation by the stroke of a pen.
Obama should be impeached for what he just did. His job as the EXECUTIVE is to EXECUTe the laws, not make them up as he goes along. Obama thinks he is a dictator, and most of the MSM and the Democrat party and a lot of RINOS like Rubio and Romney are cheering him on.
Absolutely. I agree with that PM.
I was addressing the kids, not Obama.
The odd thing about this is that Obama’s announcement is exactly what has been taking place, apparently, for some time. He simply verbalized it, so it could only have been for Hispanic voter reasons.
Forgive me for conjecturing, but I guessing that GW was lax on enforcing, too. And we know Perry was. Gingrich said he would be, and for that Romney attacked both Perry and Gingrich. Yesterday, however, the cat got Mitt’s tongue, and he could only mumble something indecipherable. And this from the man who excoriated Perry and Gingrich for their leniency. (Shocker: Romney moves left.)
In any case, the only reason Obama can do this is because the nation no longer cares about the constitution. Divided government wouldn’t matter, if congressmen knew their job was to strongly challenge any executive who decided not to enforce the law or to make up his own law.
They would unite and do a smashmouth on the culprit via fiances first and impeachment second. They would get his attention.
We have wimps in Congress. If they’re not banging their girlfriend, they’re banging their boyfriend.
