His job as the Executive is to execute. But that is fundamentally different from taking action that is completely contrary to statute. Of course. that is what the President is doing in this casegranting amnesty to about 5 million illegal aliens when the statute. properly passed through Congress. says these folks came into our country illegally. they are here illegally. and allowing them to stay here and work is contrary to law. Again. it would be one thing if the President had to figure out details consistent with that statute. but instead he is taking action directly contrary to those statutes and that directive. It is not simply prosecutorial discretion. It is not simply saying. well. because of a particular circumstance. we are not going to prosecute that case or this case or that case over there. He is making a broad policy which will affect about 5 million cases. and he has gone way beyond saying: We wont prosecute these cases. He is having his bureaucracyhis administrationactually issue work permits by giving folks who cannot work legally in this country work permits. He is telling employers to hire them because they have this new work permit. He is giving them Social Security numbers and other affirmative identification. Again. that is not figuring out the details on how to execute law. that is not figuring out unspoken details about how to further law. that is acting directly contrary to our law and to our statutes on this very topic.
