Congress Hopeful To Practically Close Borders Recently, President Obama announced his plans to grant amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants through executive order. His plans were met with immediately backlash, with members of Congress calling the action an overreach of the office. Many Americans fear the Obamas plan rewards people from breaking the law, instead of encouraging those seeking to become a citizen to do so legally. Our nation is based on a legal system, but our laws must be respected in order to uphold this foundation. Obama continues to show little respect for the powers given to each branch of government, as clearly defined by the Constitution. He does not have the right or authority to write laws as he sees fit, and ignore Congress in the process. The Constitution charges the President with the responsibility of ensuring that the laws of Congress are faithfully executed. Obama has clearly been abusing this power. Fortunately, Congress will use the power of the purse to defund Obamas actions. What do you think? Do we need a leader who secures our borders and respects our system of government?
