If you are keeping a list of
impeachable charges against Barack Hussein Obama, you may want to add this one
to the list. Congress passed a bill and Obama signed it into law. Then Obama
defies the law he just signed.
The US
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has had a position of public advocate
that works on behalf of illegal aliens facing deportation. In February 2012,
Andrew Lorenzen-Strait held that position. Earlier this year, Congress passed
HR 933 that eliminated Strait’s position saying they no longer wanted to pay a
federal employee to defend illegals. In March 2013, President Obama signed HR
933 which defunded and eliminated the position of public advocate for illegals.
But you
know how Obama feels about illegals facing deportation don’t you? They are
Democratic voters, even if they do vote illegally. He can’t have the government
deporting his party’s support base.
In a
defiance against Congress and the law that he signed, Obama had the position
held by Strait changed to read deputy assistant director of custody programs
and community outreach. The job description is basically the same as that of
the public advocate and Strait continues to perform the same duties he did
before, mostly defending illegals facing deportation.
Ira Mehlman, Media Director for Federation for
American Immigration Reform (FAIR) is pointing the finger at Obama for openly
ignoring and defying Congress, saying:
"Congress had said [it wasn’t] going to
pay for somebody in the federal bureaucracy to serve as an advocate for the
illegal aliens. Then the administration said, We'll just retitle the position,
essentially leave the same job description, and go ahead and do this anyway.”
“So far they have not run into any serious
resistance from Congress – and so they keep doing it."
"This
is really evidence of the fact that even if we pass a bill that includes strong
enforcement provisions – which the Senate bill does not; but even if the House
were to put [such provisions] in there, there is no guarantee whatever that the
administration would actually carry them out.”
Rep. Diane Black (R-TN) drafted much of the
language of HR-933. She says that Obama’s actions concerning the renaming and
keeping of the position of public advocate is an example of his abuse of power.
She said his actions only help to undermine his credibility with Congress and
the American people. Personally, he lost all credibility when he ran for
President back in 2008 when nothing but lies poured out from his mouth.
President
Obama only obeys the laws when they suit his need. When they don’t, he has no
qualms about disregarding the law as he has never believed that they pertain to
him. He believes that as president he can pick and choose what laws he wants to
uphold and what ones he doesn’t, much like the way many Christian’s treat God’s
laws as contained in the Bible.
Never in the history of the United
States has there ever been a more
corrupt and lawless president as Barack Hussein Obama. Sadly, Congress is just
as guilty for allowing him to get away with it.
