Executive Action, Constitution & Slavery

As the war of threats continues to be waged over Mr. Obama’s threat to ratify residency for millions of illegal aliens I think it appropriate that a few (relevant) points be tethered to your considerations:

(1) The President has no such capacity to act unilaterally as to existing law or legislation; he must “faithfully” enforce the law, period.

(2) He cannot, by executive fiat, express or act by writ, any authority not expressed within the Constitution that either commands or self-assigns supplemental authority to the Executive Branch.

(3) It is important to consider that current U.S. law regarding immigration is not broken or is it errant; the problem is that it is NOT being enforced and in fact, it is being suspended by actions affected by and thru the Executive Branch which is not a “faithful” execution of the law.

(4) To allow the President to act unilaterally, and I fully expect that he will, is to send a message to all persons here in the country and those who are would-be entrants. To announce to the world that not only is this a lawless nation, but that our elected officials are themselves lawless. That we ourselves have no regard for the promises espoused by this nation’s founding documents and the foundational principals upon which they are found.

(5) I find that allowing unchecked immigration or tolerating the unilateral suspension of the lawful immigration process conceals several of the most debilitating attributes of all. It creates an institutionalized mechanism that, in effect, creates a slave-class population thereby expanding the poverty level. It deactivates competitive market-wage forces and de-incentivizes stabilized employment and lastly, it exponentially multiplies the economic burden on government services the cost of which is levied, directly, on the individual taxpayer.

It is not an issue of humane treatment, not at all, that is an issue for the country of origin, an individual donor organization and/or a faith based organization; it is not the responsibility of the U.S. Government, the states themselves or the local governments.
