Indeed. he said: We have a problem. and we need to fix it. He then threatened to veto the very legislation the House proposed would fix it. This is what happens when a President openly and proudly is contemptuous of his obligation to faithfully enforce the law of the land by not only issuing an Executive order in 2012 that is beyond his legal authority to do but also by saying that because Congress has not done what I want them to do as far as reforming our immigration laws. I am going to further expand my Executive order and refuse to enforce the law with regard to more and more people. That is not a secret. It is well reported in the newspapers and on television. and it is not lost on the people who make money exploiting this system nor the people who want to come to the United States outside of our immigration laws. Sadly. I can only conclude that although the President plainly knows what we need to do. as do his cabinet members. and although prominent Democrats have plainly identified what we need to do to fix the problem. when he doesnt demand that the majority leader allow a vote and a solution to that problem.
