Even SCOTUS can’t stop Obama from gutting immigration enforcement

The New York Post reports:

In his huffy remarks after the Supreme Court decision, Obama said when Congress refused to act on so-called comprehensive immigration reform he “was left with little choice but to take steps within my existing authority to make our immigration system smarter, fairer and more just.”

But there is no clause in the Constitution giving the president the power to legislate in the absence of congressional enactments. The president’s own sweeping description of the supposed benefits of his action — a smarter, fairer, more just system — implies its breadth.

It certainly doesn’t sound like a mere act of discretion around the edges — and it isn’t. The appeals court noted that nearly 150 pages of instructions were issued on how to carry out the president’s previous executive amnesty, and only about 5 percent of more than 700,000 applications were denied.

The president of the union representing the immigration workers charged with processing those applications said DHS worked to ensure that they were “rubberstamped.” President Obama himself had said DHS officials who didn’t implement his latest edict would face “consequences.”

We are sure Strongman Obama would start enforcing immigration law if he thought too many white people were coming to America illegally.
