President’s choices going against the laws of the land

To the Editor:

Another vacuous Presidential platitude ... ”it’s the right thing to do for the America people!” Surely he’s joking!

Intentionally or otherwise, young or old, illegals are illegals but if you’re under 30, with misdemeanors, word of honor you’ve been here five years, then it’s ”bingo you’re in” contrary to America’s Immigration laws!

It’s the nose under the tent looking suspiciously like that defeated back door amnesty Dream Act. Presidents choosing to ignore Immigration Laws are welcome signs for illegals! So just when/where will fabricated presidential “choosing” stop? Just what part of the above is the “right thing” for the American people?

Senator Obama campaigned quite the opposite but now unapologetically announced he chooses “not” to enforce some Supreme court decisions/laws of the land. These aren’t multiple option choices!

Congress legally passes laws, the court validates but this President chooses those he likes and dislikes, then decides if they’re enforced or not! Anarchy from the top, from the Presidency?

Law-abiding Americans know this is wrong! It’s against the Presidents oath of office, it’s against American laws, it’s against everything we expect American citizens to do or be, but we’re expected to bankroll, roll over and accept because he thinks he’s King?

Mr. President, you’re no King! Your ruling by arbitrary fiat deliberately ignores your sworn presidential oath of office! Shouldn’t a Constitutional lawyer know this?

It’s your fault our borders aren’t sealed as your job requires and your campaign pledged! Instead you’re sponsoring and sanctioning unlawful actions, defying America’s Constitution and American laws. Stop pointing accusatory fingers elsewhere and encouraging community chaos. You’re the real problem!

Mr. President, do your job ... Article II, Section I in the Constitution and implement your sworn oath “…preserve, protect and defend the Constitution ...” doing otherwise sends Americans the message… “Who Cares ... Get Lost!”
