Like He's Above Law on Immigration
Newsmax - Republicans are attacking President Barack Obama for acting like a “king that is above the law” in deciding to pick and choose which illegal aliens to deport.
“The Obama administration cannot get its amnesty schemes through Congress, so now it has resorted to implementing its plans via executive fiat,” said Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer.
“We need to remind President Obama that we elected a president that serves beneath the law and did not anoint a king that is above the law.”
Joining her criticisms were two other border-state Republicans, Reps. Michael McCaul and Lamar Smith of Texas.
“It’s just the latest attempt by this president to bypass the intended legislative process when he does not get his way,” McCaul said.
Smith said, “The Obama administration should enforce immigration laws, not look for ways to ignore them."
And Florida Rep. Allen West jumped into the fray, too, calling for a House investigation into the guidelines. In an exclusive interview with Newsmax.TV, he accused Obama of “shredding the Constitution” with the new guidelines. “It is a form of amnesty and it does go against our Constitution and it very much concerns me because now we are rewarding people for an illegal activity,” he said.
“Think about the strain that is going to come on the types of services and things that we have to provide,” West added, saying aliens are getting a free pass.
Brewer pointed to a speech Obama made to the Hispanic civil rights group, the National Council of La Raza, in Washington on July 25, in which he rejected the idea of imposing immigration reform without reference to Congress.
“He said, ‘Now, I know some people want me to bypass Congress and change the laws on my own. And, believe me, right now dealing with Congress, the idea of doing things on my own is very tempting. But that’s not how our system works. That’s not how our democracy functions. That’s not how our Constitution is written.’

Blog author's comments -The President needs to have his pen taken away. With every illegal that is now in or enters our country Obama happily sees them as another future voter for the Democrat Party.
Once he is out of office with millions stashed in his pockets, he will have done what he intended to do prior to the election of 2008 - mission accomplished.
With this and now his instructions to be racist in hiring federal workers, Obama is a presidential criminal. He has repeatedly violated his oath of office in directing his administration to disregard the law and Constitution. Congress is also on vacation, but if they were in Washington not many of them would attempt to stop what Obama has done.
How long are we going to sit and allow Obama and his followers to continue destroying what so many have died to preserve? Even if the Republican Party can win the White House, retain control of the House and win the Senate it will take many years to undue even a portion of what the Obama regime has done in less than three years in office.
