So the President isnt even doing what he says he is doing. Instead of removing criminals from our country as required by law. he is just releasing them back into the community so they can continue to commit further crimes and jeopardize public safety. No matter how the President paints the picture. his Executive action on immigration is an abuse of constitutional duty to faithfully execute the law and an overreach of his executive branch authority under the separation of powers doctrine. Under the Constitution. the Congress has several tools it can use to check the President and rein him in when he operates outside of the Constitution. Among the tools Congress has is the power of the purse. Congress appropriates funds and has the authority to dictate where and how those funds may or may not be used. If the President exceeds the limits of his Executive authority to create an illegal program such as DACA or DAPA. Congress has the power to defund such a program. The Department of Homeland Security appropriations bill is a check on the executive branch.
