Everyone Knew that Obama did not have the power to do this.

Announced by Obama and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano last year, the directive gives agents the ability to defer action on people unlawfully in the U.S. if they came to the country under the age of 16, are in school or have obtained a high school diploma, haven’t been convicted of a felony, significant misdemeanor or multiple misdemeanors, and aren’t a threat to public safety or national security.

“The court finds that DHS does not have discretion to refuse to initiate removal proceedings” when the requirements for deportation under a federal statute are met, O’Connor said today in a 38-page decision, referring to the Department of Homeland Security.

Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Janet Napolitano does not have the authority to refuse to enforce laws that require illegal immigrants to face deportation, according to the federal judge hearing the Immigration and Customs Enforcement union’s lawsuit against DHS.

“The court finds that DHS does not have discretion to refuse to initiate removal proceedings [when the law requires it],” U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor said today, per Business Week. O’Connor asked DHS and the ICE union to offer additional arguments before he makes a final ruling on the legality of President Obama’s “deferred action on childhood arrivals” (DACA) program, which invoked prosecutorial discretion as a means of allowing people to stay in the country if they would have qualified for amnesty under the DREAM Act, which never passed through Congress.

This is absolutely a battle that the Right needs to really focus in on. Never mind that attitudes like this towards Hispanics will stop the GOP from ever obtaining the White House again.

So, give up pricipal to get elected

Got it

But this thread is about power of branches of government

But to follow your lead, you would have Obama do this so no republican will ever get in the WH again

Correct?

Should this country be based on the rule of law or not?
I say yes. I also am not completely opposed to Rubio's proposed immigration law. I'm all for them changing the law to make it better, if they can. I am not for ignoring the law that is in place just because you don't like it.

The irony.

The case was filed by attorney Kris Kobach, who also serves as Kansas Secretary of State and is a national Republican Party adviser. Lead plaintiff Christopher L. Crane is president of the National Immigration and Customs Enforcement Council, a 7,600- member federal immigration agents’ union.

Why is it ironic, that a law enforcement officer's union is opposed to their superiors in the executive branch failing to enforce the law after the LEOs do the dangerous grunt work?

Currently the rule of law would require the rounding up, detaining, and deportation of 10 million people, I don't see anyone, from any party proposing that we do that.

And just for the record, there has never been a President to have deported as many illegal aliens as Obama.

I going to go out on a limb here and suggest that their interest in the matter is exactly the same as why prison guard unions spend so much money to lobby against decriminalization of drugs. $$$$$$$$$$

I say yes.

So in your opinion has law enforcement been derelict in its duty in Arizona, Utah, Idaho, Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, New York, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Florida? Adultery is against the law in all of those states, punishable by either a fine or jail sentence (up to life imprisonment in Michigan). It is also an offense under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. When was the last time you ever heard of anyone going to jail for adultery? Newt Gingrich is a Georgia resident and admitted serial adulterer, yet he has never been charged, fined, or imprisoned.

Shouldn't the laws against adultery be enforced? They are on the books! Those same states also have laws against fornication. Should they also be enforced?

But no, adultery and fornication are as common as speeding, which also isn't enforced as long as you don't push it too far. But those snot-nosed little brown kids who were brought here when they were infants, who have grown up here and know no other culture, some of whom don't even speak Spanish, now they are the dangerous ones. Run them out on a rail. Maybe you can get a good kick in for good measure.

I bet he's fine with not enforcing them! Against the Rule of Law he is.

So in your opinion has law enforcement been derelict in its duty in Virginia When was the last time you ever heard of anyone going to jail for adultery?

Don

Virginia just had a case charged for Sodomy. Predictably it was thrown out based on Lawrence v. Texas.

As it should have been, in my opinion, but my opinion is not what matters. But has the law been rescinded? Did the courts strike down the laws against adultery or fornication? According to Kennedy, it would seem that as long as the law is on the books law enforcement should spare no expense to prosecute every offender. Every law must be enforced in every circumstance, or else we become a lawless society.
