While I do agree with President Obama that something needs to be done about our immigration problem and that Congress (yawn) has done absolutely nothing, the way he approached the matter yesterday, by granting immediate amnesty (and that is all this is) to 800,000 young illegals doesn't exactly pass muster.
It would be noble to want to believe that Obama was paving the way for Congress to finally get off its dead duff and address this important issue.
But the fact that we have an election right around the corner, the Hispanic vote is very important, and that Senator Marco Rubio, Republican, Florida, who just happened to be in the process of unveiling a book and a plan to address this very problem, makes one suspicious. Is this all about politics, again?
And will this Executive Order have a negative impact on those American citizens who are looking for work while franctically staving off the clutches of this deep financial recession we are in?
Charles Krauthammer, Fox News Contributor, last night summarized what Obama did yesterday, through Executive Order, as "unlawful." He's absolutely right.
But Obama did elevate an issue that's been simmering on the back burner of this country for far too long.
Will what Obama did light a fire under Congress' a**?
On the other hand, for a President of the United States to brazenly and continually ignore the United States Constitution, which frames what he can and cannot do as President is, as Mr. Krauthammer stated, "unlawful."
In other words, UNCONSTITUTIONAL as Mr. Obama DID NOT consult with Congress about instantly granting amnesty to 800,000 illegals.
Mr. Obama again did another "end around play," thus bypassing Congress, which isn't setting too well with many.
Congress makes our laws, not the President.
It is painfully evident that Obama thinks Obama can do whatever Obama wants.
So what's a Congress to do?
In a strong bi-partisan measure Congress needs to send a very strong message to the President that his willful disregard and disrespect will no longer be tolerated as Congress has already voted on an immigration measure and the votes fell short.
But, isn't it vitally important that Congress tackle this issue again?
In retrospect, as we've painfully witnessed the hugger-mugger uncloaking of this stealth President after almost four years in office...one could/should reasonably deliberate the factual evidence surrounding the President and his persistent, recalcitrant and rebellious dismissal of our laws.
In doing so, Mr. Obama has posited and asserted that he is a self-acclaimed, self-proclaimed and a self-ordained Monarch who is in sore need of a national dethroning.
This country has no place for a President who is above the law.
