“The president must follow the rule of law, just like everyone else.” – Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton
Referencing President Obama’s effort to defer deportations for more than four million undocumented immigrants by executive order, Paxton said, “Today, the Fifth Circuit (U.S. Court of Appeals) asserted that the 
separation of powers remains the law of the land,” and added that “throughout the process, the Obama administration has aggressively disregarded the constitutional limits on executive power.”
Under the innocuous title, Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (DACA), it was devised to apply to the millions who have been in the country since 2010 and have a child who is a U.S. citizen or permanent resident. The court has blocked the president’s ploy.
Like the title, even the Justice Department’s reasoning for backing the executive order is rather obscure – “to allow DHS (Homeland Security) to bring greater accountability to our immigration system by prioritizing that removal of the worst offenders, not people who have long ties to the United States and who are raising American children.” Amnesty in disguise.
Twenty-six states brought legal standing to challenge the issue in court.
Justice is reviewing the opinion to determine how best to proceed to accomplish the president’s goal, according to a spokesperson. The immigration rights group, National Immigration Law Center, has encouraged the president to take the appeal to the Supreme Court.
It’s in the Supreme Court where the Obama administration is currently taking on the Little Sisters of the Poor over the ObamaCare contraceptive mandate. Is there anyone who believes the most arrogant president in history will back off on amnesty?
