President Obama passed a document, a back door amnesty titled, “Maximizing Public Safety and Better Focusing Resources,” while suing Arizona and Alabama because they are enforcing immigration laws already on the books. As a DHS official said with a straight face, “This case-by-case approach will enhance public safety.”
The plenary power of the U.S. Congress allows for passage of laws, levy of taxes, wage wars and hold in custody those who offend against its laws.
Under the Plenary Power Doctrine, Congress has the power to make immigration policy free from judicial review. This doctrine was established at the end of the nineteenth century. The Supreme Court declared that Congress had “plenary power” to regulate immigration, Indian tribes, and newly acquired territories.
Congress makes laws and the President executes those laws. The President is Suppose to be a constitutional law scholar, so one would think that he would know that he cannot simply assume the power to himself to decide who comes into the country and who gets to stay. When we are trying to deliver quality education, health care, and other services to our citizens in a depressed economy, the notion that the president can let foreigners into our country at will and treat them equally with citizens, makes the president’s discretion unlimited. In other words, it makes him a self proclaimed dictator.
Our borders are out of control, our resources are strained, yet this administration is saying that millions of aliens are staying and states must provide for their free education, healthcare, employment, and housing.
The message to illegal immigrants is that if you get in, your chances of being deported are zero. We now have unlimited immigration, limited only by the number of people who are trying to come in.
The ability of our society to provide any kind of quality of life and services to future generations of Americans is uncertain. There are 25 million unemployed looking for jobs right now, out of a labor force of approximately 125 million people, that is 20% unemployment, not the reported 9 percent. Jobs should be freed by deporting people who are here illegally.
We are a nation of immigrants and I cannot blame those who want to come here to have a better life, but there is a legal process to do so. Breaking the laws of our country is not the right way to do it. There are social and financial consequences to a blanket amnesty program:
- diminishes the legal citizenship process
- illegal aliens jump to the head of the line, at the expense of those who had to wait, spend money, and valuable time pursuing legal immigration
- takes away jobs from Americans at a time when we have high unemployment
- strains emergency medical services and bankrupts small hospitals (illegal immigrants use emergency rooms for regular doctor visits such as sniffles instead of a regular doctor whose fees would be much smaller but not free)
- depletes education funds, Social Security funds, housing funds, welfare funds, food stamps fund
- increases criminality (gangs and those who come here with nefarious intent)
- spreads unchecked diseases especially through unvaccinated children in school
- allows terrorists to enter freely into the United States

What is the rationalization of this blanket amnesty? I explained that in a previous post. http://cyberpolyticks.blogspot.com/2011/08/good-news-bad-news.html
There are no limits now to the Executive branch’s authority to give out green cards to millions of new voters. I realize that all Presidents abuse the power of the executive order but never before has the Executive branch said indirectly to Congress and the American people that their wishes do not matter. This amnesty act had already been before Congress, and they rejected it. Why should Congress bother to pass laws if the President is going to ignore them? Limitless, un-reviewed authority to run immigration policies outside of Congress’ authority is nothing less than tyranny. The rule of law must not be ignored or self-determination as a nation no longer exists. Existing immigration laws of the land must be enforced.

Oh by the way, have you seen the news reports about a case involving an illegal immigrant from Kenya by the name of Onyango Obama? He was arrested last week after he almost struck a police cruiser with his SUV.
The incident allegedly occurred in Framingham, Massachusetts. Coincidentally, according to the Washington Times, the 67-year old Obama is being represented by the same lawyer who represented Barack Obama’s illegal alien aunt Zeituni Obama who is still living in the United States.
