I fail to see what making a phone call will do, when the message from this particular Congress critter is that “We will only do the right thing if we hear from our constituents.” The fact that our elected representatives won’t consider voting against amnesty until they fear for their jobs is utter lunacy.
This is my letter to my congressman:
Dear Congressman Wenstrup,
Obama’s order to ignore the law and permit illegal immigrants no longer to worry about prosecution is a violation of a power of Congress granted in the U.S. Constitution. For Obama also to offer any benefits including social security, welfare, food stamps, etc. is an illegal act.
First, it’s the illegal appropriation of power not granted him in the Constitution.
Second, in my opinion, it’s a violation of provisions in the Simpson/Mazzoli Act, the Naturalization Act of 1986 that forbids such action by a president.
Obama must be stopped. Congress must NOT fund his actions for an entire year. Either defund ICE now fully or fund everything now with ICE funded only for 2-3 months, so the new CONGRESS gets to revisit this.
As mentioned in the 2nd point above, I believe Obama’s action, once it involves social security, has already been denied a president’s executive discretion by that current Naturalization law.
I would like to see Congress file an amicus brief with each state that is suing Obama’s illegal executive actions.
In no case, do I want my representative fully funding these actions for an entire funding period. In no case, do I want any inhumane or abusive actions taken against otherwise peaceful illegal aliens as they are returned in a humane process to their country of origin.
Thanks for your consideration of my views.
Sincerely,
