I would do so. But were also a nation of laws." On March 28. 2011. President Obama said: With respect to the notion that I can just suspend deportations through executive order. thats just not the case. There are enough laws on the books by Congress that are very clear in terms of how we have to enforce our immigration system that for me to simply through executive order ignore those congressional mandates would not conform with my appropriate role as President. Again. on September 28. 2011. he said: I just have to continue to say this notion that somehow I can just change the laws unilaterally is just not true. We are doing everything we can administratively. But the fact of the matter is there are laws on the books that I have to enforce. And I think theres been a great disservice done to the cause of getting the DREAM Act passed and getting comprehensive immigration passed by perpetrating the notion that somehow. by myself. I can go and do these things. Its just not true.
