In a town hall style meeting on MSNBC, Obama talked about his executive amnesty and the role that he expects Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to play in its implementation. The short version is: Do what I say, or else.
“Until we pass a law through Congress, the executive actions we’ve taken are not going to be permanent; they are temporary. There are going to be some jurisdictions and there may be individual ICE official or Border Control agent not paying attention to our new directives. But they’re going to be answerable to the head of Homeland Security because he’s been very clear about what our priorities will be,” Obama said, according to a partial transcript provided by the pool reporter.
“Not only are we going to have to win this legal fight.. but ultimately we’re still going to pass a law through Congress. The bottom line is I’m using all the legal power invested in me in order to solve this problem.”
“If somebody’s working for ICE … and they don’t follow the policy, there’s going to be consequences to it.”
The “law” he made was not temporary, it was illegal. He does not have the authority under the Constitution to implement amnesty. (Before you yell about all the other Presidents who have done it, let me assure you that they were dead wrong too.)
As for the “bottom line,” he’s not using “all the legal power” he has; he’s using power he was never intended to have. The problem, of course, is that the average citizen has no idea what the limits of the Presidency are, and therefore powerless to do anything about it. Meanwhile, this joke of a White House resident rolls right over those limits, institutes his own agenda, and then blatantly threatens those federal agents who would dare defy him in favor of the Constitution and the idea of American sovereignty.
