Immigration Another Scandal & Another Reason For Impeachment
Monty Pelerin / Economic Noise
This Administration is a scandal machine. Everything they do is close to the line. Much of what they do is on the wrong side of this line.
In my recent book, twenty-six scandals were enumerated. Some might be considered minor, but all show blatant disrespect and disregard for the Constitution and Rule of Law. Several are serious enough to represent valid impeachment processes without consideration of others.
In comparison, Richard Nixon looks like an angel rather than a devil. Looking what is happening today versus the charges brought against Nixon is enough to understand how far this nation has fallen. Bring back the good, bad times!
Immigration Law Enforcement Scandal
The latest Obama Administration scandal is immigration. By my count that raises the number of scandals to 27, unless one wants to count this one more than once. Deciding unilaterally that immigration law will be ignored and not enforced should itself be an impeachable offense. No president has the power or right to arbitrarily choose which laws will be enforced and which ones will not, although Obama has ignored this constraint with respect to much more than immigration law.
Allowing such behavior is a threat to the balance of power intended to protect citizens from tyranny. George Will stated:
Obama, however, has perpetrated more than 40 suspensions of laws. Were presidents the sole judges of the limits of their latitude, they would effectively have plenary power to vitiate the separation of powers, the Founders’ bulwark against despotism.
Each violation of law provides precedent for future presidents. It will be easier for successors to ignore the law than it is for Obama. Overlooking these infringements invites the move closer to dictatorship. That road is a one-way street. A return to previous conditions is rarely achieved without bloodshed.
Congress must act if this country is to survive in its current form. To the extent that Obama is guilty of violating the law, so too is Congress for ignoring these violations. The oath taken to uphold the Constitution is being violated every time Congress fails to act in these situations. This in itself is an impeachable offense, or at least was intended to be.
Is Immigration Part of a Bigger Scandal?
