But when you have a President of the United States that takes an oath
of office to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the
United States so help him God, and in that oath it is specified in
another section of the Constitution that he, meaning the President,
take care that the laws be faithfully executed--we call that the Take
Care Clause--well, the President, President Obama, did not take care
that the laws be faithfully executed. He refused to enforce the law. He
refused to enforce the immigration law, and he issued orders that
ordered his subordinates throughout the executive branch of government,
including the Border Patrol, custom border protection, ICE, and USCIS,
to defy the law. The law of the United States says that, when law enforcement
encounters someone who is unlawfully present in the United States, they
shall--not ``may,'' but ``shall''--be placed into removal proceedings. That is the law.
