Speech #1130122910

It is clear that it is Congress duty to write the laws. and it is the Presidents responsibility to enforce them. While law enforcement agencies do have the inherent power to exercise prosecutorial discretion. the authority as to whether to enforce or not enforce the law against particular individuals. this power must be used judiciously and isnt an invitation to violate or ignore a law in its entirety. By granting amnesty to 5 million illegal immigrants. this administration has crossed the line from any justifiable use of its executive authority to a failure to faithfully execute the laws. Mr. Speaker. whether you are a Democrat or a Republican. whether you agree or disagree with the Presidents policy on illegal immigrants and immigration. you cannot agree with the Presidents actions. No one is vested with the power to be both President and legislator.
