Mr. Speaker. the editorial boards of several national publications have supported amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants. It is a credit to their intellectual honesty that the media now admit that President Obamas threats to use executive orders to undercut immigration laws are wrong and contrary to his constitutional responsibilities. For example. a Washington Post editorial commented: "In Mr. Obamas own words. acting alone is not how our democracy functions." The Wall Street Journal editorial board said: "We support more liberal immigration but not Mr. Obamas means of doing it on his own whim because hes tired of working with Congress." Even The New York Times admits "the President cannot rewrite immigration law." But the media isnt alone. Public opinion polls show a strong majority of Americans disapprove of the Presidents issuing executive orders to grant amnesty. The President should listen to the American people. not to those who want him to violate his oath of office to uphold the Nations laws.
