Obama: 'Consequences' for ICE Officials Who Don't Follow Executive Amnesty

President Obama warned workers at the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement: implement executive amnesty, or else. He made the comments in a town hall event on immigration on MSNBC.

According to the White House pool report, President Obama was asked for reassurance that people wouldn't be deported as the legal battle over the executive amnesty plays out in the courts.

“Until we pass a law through Congress, the executive actions we’ve taken are not going to be permanent; they are temporary. There are going to be some jurisdictions and there may be individual ICE official or Border Control agent not paying attention to our new directives. But they’re going to be answerable to the head of Homeland Security because he’s been very clear about what our priorities will be,” Obama said, according to a partial transcript provided by the pool reporter.

“Not only are we going to have to win this legal fight.. but ultimately we’re still going to pass a law through Congress. The bottom line is I’m using all the legal power invested in me in order to solve this problem.”

“If somebody’s working for ICE … and they don’t follow the policy, there’s going to be consequences to it.”

Can the judge cite him for this? Contempt of Court, among other things?...Yes, and he can shiite in one hand and wish in the other and nothing would change.

Go figure. Do-nothing America.

Clearly, it is those who choose to follow orders from this quisling, that are the REAL danger to this nation. Apparently, we has a surplus of “REAL Dummies” in America, with droves of backups coming across the border from everywhere, expediting the completion of making us EQUALLY as uneducated, unhealthy, uninformed, unable, and unaware, as all of the countries we choose NOT to be like.

America, could suffer no greater tragedy as this. Surely all that 179,220# of copper that is Lady Liberty, can be utilized in a more productive way...like batteries, guitar pick-ups, transformers, EM motors, etc. Or....GIVE IT BACK to France. These days, it’s looking like they should have kept it, eh?
