Obama shows disregard for law on immigration | TheGazette

?

In March 2011, President Barack Obama addressed a town hall forum hosted by the Spanish-speaking TV network Univision.

He was asked this question: ?What if, at least, you grant temporary protective status, TPS, to undocumented students? If your answer is ?yes,? when? If your answer is ?no,? why not?? Undocumented students are the children of immigrant adults who entered the United States illegally.

This was his answer: ?There are enough laws on the books by Congress that are very clear in terms of how we have to enforce our immigration system that for me to simply through executive order ignore those congressional mandates would not conform with my appropriate role as president.?

Yet on June 15, Obama ignored the role of Congress in immigration policy (and his legal judgment) and issued an executive order giving protective status to young people who are in the United States illegally. His action shows that he has no real regard for our government system of checks and balances, our Congress or the rule of law.

Giving protective status to the children of illegal immigrant adults is another way for Obama to move the country, against its will, toward legalizing the 12 million-plus illegal immigrants who violated our laws by entering our country illegally. He has violated his constitutional role as president and should be removed in November.
