Obama's Immigration Edict

Statement

the following statement regarding President Barrack Obama's June 15 decision to essentially offer amnesty to 800,000 illegal immigrants:

"This Administration continues to act as though there is only one branch of government. The President doesn't get to choose which laws he wants to enforce and which he wants to ignore. This is the latest in a string of occurrences where President Obama has thumbed his nose at the law making process to benefit his own re-election campaign and personal agenda. President Obama's action contradicts present law and violates the Constitutional principle of a separation of powers which grants primary law making authority to the Congress. Selective enforcement is the measure of tin-pot dictators and despots, not constitutional democracies.

"We do need immigration reform, but Mr. Obama's rash actions make it difficult to gauge the true impacts of his policy. There are too many unanswered questions to allow this to go unchallenged. President Obama should suspend this order and make his case with lawmakers and the American people."
