FULL TITLE: Senators Denounce Obama for Threatening 'Entire Constitutional System' By 'Nullifying' Immigration Laws

On Thursday, 22 Republican senators, including even Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), denounced President Barack Obama in a scathing letter for threatening America's "entire constitutional system" with his immigration "enforcement review" that threatens to "nullify" the nation's immigration laws.

"Your actions demonstrate an astonishing disregard for the Constitution, the rule of law, and the rights of American citizens and legal residents," the senators wrote in a letter to Obama. "Our entire constitutional system is threatened when the Executive Branch suspends the law at its whim and our nation’s sovereignty is imperiled when the commander-in-chief refuses to defend the integrity of its borders."

After intense pressure from pro-amnesty groups who fear that amnesty legislation will not pass this year, Obama's Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson met with advocacy groups last month to reportedly consider administrative actions--such as granting more forms of amnesty, not deporting illegal immigrants who have not committed "major" crimes, and allowing bond hearings for illegal immigrants--to further erode the nation's laws.

This is Jeff Sessions and David Vitter. Don’t give credit to Mitch or the wimps who got on the bandwagon.

These chumps in the Senate wouldn't vote to convict the marxist foreigner in an impeachment trial even if they had 70 members.

Repeal the 17th!

But don’t worry, we’ll still vote to increase the debt ceiling, and pass budgets that spend more money. I mean, those are non-negotiable.

Yawn... stomp stomp, huff and puff, next it will be a red line. The GOP is a fraud pretending to give a shit when they clearly dont . On the same day Boner craps on everyone for not supporting amnesty. Now will somebody please point out the difference between the parties on the matter of immagration? or anything else for that mater.

The America people are on their own with a Government gone adrift.

... with his immigration "enforcement review" that threatens to "nullify" the nation's immigration laws.

For once, Obama is actually defending the Constitution concerning federal immigration laws. This is because, despite what is popularly believed about the federal government's power to regulate immigration, the states have never delegated to the feds, via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate immigration.

So while Constitution-ignoring Senate RINOs are whining about Obama nullifying constitutionally indefensible federal immigration laws, patriots need to support Obama on immigration by doing the following. Patriots need to wake up their state lawmakers so that lawmakers can either make 10th Amendment-protected state laws to regulate immigration, or amend the Constitution to delegate such powers to the feds.

Wow. More harsh language. I’ll bet Obama is simply quaking in his boots over what they might do to him next.
