Recently, Obama has taken to promising executive ‘action’ on illegal immigration.

This is a deviation from what he was spewing before elections. Then, he talked of ‘executive order’ as a means of forcing his personal beliefs on America.

Our U.S. Constitution expressly grants a President “…Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses committed against the United States…” (Art II, Sect. 2)

Granting a pardon or reprieve for illegal entry into the Nation would be executive action.

A President must also “…take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed…” and that’s where many Presidents often try to introduce their ideology in the interpretation.

Deciding how law is to be executed, or executed differently from congressional intent, would be an executive order. Many argue ‘faithfully executed’ means faithful to the law makers’ (Congress) intent…some Presidents believe their ideology should direct intent.

We’ll offer more in-depth data as we go along, but in the meantime, take note that Obama is talking ‘action’ instead of ‘order’…and a Pardon does not confer citizenship.

According to our Constitution, only Congress can do that, having the power “…to establish an uniform Rule of Nauralization…” (Art. I, Sect 8).

And make no mistake – those necessary laws are already on the books…

…Democrats (and Obama) just don’t want to enforce them.

Immigration law isn’t broken…Obama’s oath to ‘faithfully execute the law’ is broken.
