President Obama declares himself King and changes immigration policy

President Obama decided to arbitrarily change our immigration policy when he signed an executive order bypassing existing law.
If America is going to change it's immigration laws, it must be done with the cooperation of all branches of our government.
Yes Mr. President, you and others in Congress wanted to pass an amnesty law known as the Dream Act. But it never made it through that pesky Congress the American people voted in to represent them. But just because Congress didn't pass a law that you wanted enacted, doesn't give you the power to flaunt the will of the people and snub them by signing an "executive order."
President Obama stated in a speech several months ago that the existing law and constitution prevents him from making changes to our immigration law. Our country is a constitutional republic with 3 separate but equal branches of government, law needs to be approved by all 3. Evidently President Obama woke up this morning, looked at his falling poll numbers and decided to be King.
Being king is much more convenient and less messy than being a President.
Yes America has an illegal immigration problem because our borders are porous and our existing laws are being ignored. The motives behind this are many, but one glaring reason is that it is being done for political purposes.
At a time when unemployment rate among American citizens is said to be in the 14% range, it is an insult to those struggling financially and out of work, to give as many as a couple of million here in the United States illegally, legal status. They will compete for the few precious jobs available and further burden our social systems.
This "back door, on the path to amnesty" signed by executive order, is a dangerous precedent for our country. Congress and the rest of America need to stand up and tell President Obama, he is not the king.
This country was explicitly founded on the notion that we don't have royalty, we rejected it in 1776 and we reject it now in 2012.

Aye Lad..that's better!
seanomelb | Jun 22, 2012, 12:06 AM EDT
"Mman and I have had many a friendly banter on IC". will that suffice Mman??
Monsoonman | Jun 21, 2012, 11:39 AM EDT
Lad...Perhaps you could use a different simile besides "sword fighting" when you speak of gay issues...jes sayin'
seanomelb | Jun 21, 2012, 06:46 AM EDT
That's your interpretation mine is different.I never stated that Mmans associations were dis-honourable and I have had many a sword fight with the man and I know he would think my comments were in jest. lighten up kaydog and accept posts as they are written and don't muddy the waters with your bleeding heart faux concerns for gay people

SEANOMELB, To quote your specific homophobic statement/remark, see your post to this article Jun 16, 2012 08:14 pm EDT - your reply to MONSOONMAN - "then you know about old queens living in San Francisco as you do." There is no other way to interpret this except as a sniggering implication that MONSOONMAN consorts with older, effeminate gays because he lives in SF, and that such would be somehow dishonorable. Further, that YOU are mocking him for such implied associations. and the discussion group should as well. So now, SEAN, just who exactly is the "simpleton"? Later, "Hater".
seanomelb | Jun 19, 2012, 07:39 PM EDT
I have not made a homophobic statement or remark kaydog1 you are a simpleton.
kaydog1 | Jun 19, 2012, 10:18 AM EDT
RATSLAYER, you need to stop deliberately misunderstanding peoples' posts - the purpose of this forum is to communicate IDEAS, so try to learn from/listen to others. Also, both you and SEANO each need to cut out the homophobic rhetoric ('gaydog'???). President Obama has a whole 'gay agenda' going, in case you haven't noticed, and hostile Lefties spouting homophobic slurs are NOT invited to the Lefty party. God Bless!

Tell that to the descendants of poor old doctor Mudd Mman.

The country was in a revolution/civil war at the time Lincoln signed those "executive orders". An argument for the reason the country was having a revolution/civil war was because the govt was being manipulated unfairly and was not following it's constitution
krisdaly | Jun 17, 2012, 12:48 AM EDT
Executive orders from the President of the United States can trump the Constitution as in the case of Abraham Lincoln suspending the writ of Habeas Corpus,and suspending the US Congress and Senate during the Civil War.
krisdaly | Jun 16, 2012, 08:43 PM EDT
We dont need no stinking kings, Lad.
seanomelb | Jun 16, 2012, 08:14 PM EDT
Mman wishes to depose the king and says long live the new king. Your remark about our old kings and queens really gets me in the nine iron. then you know about old queens living in San Fransisco as you do. four more years coming up and the pretender can retire to his temple in Utah(which he probably paid for).
Monsoonman | Jun 16, 2012, 01:12 PM EDT
I read Kaydogs post and find nothing in it to be threatening towards the President. Ratslayer is delusional
Yankee724 | Jun 16, 2012, 12:43 PM EDT
Mr. Farnan has it so correct! Mr. O wants to be king, and acts as though he is one, but he needs to prove his citizenship first--then maybe we can allow him to not be deported to Kenya, his true homeland!
Monsoonman | Jun 16, 2012, 12:43 PM EDT
The left I see is ready to boot lick the new"royalty" in the white house. You miss your king and queen who kept you poor in your own land...Now you want the same in the new world. Like weak dogs you grovel on all fours and want to be fed and lied to by your master.
Ratslayer | Jun 16, 2012, 11:30 AM EDT
And Ed whines about ``cooperation" on Capitol Hill. Grow up. BO just roped-a-dope. Oh, btw, looks like Gaydog wants something bad to happen to the president. Typical right-wing advocacy for violence against the Black Guy. Hello Secret Service ...
jerrydonovan | Jun 16, 2012, 11:30 AM EDT
Is this an executive order?Yes or no?
kerry214 | Jun 16, 2012, 01:31 AM EDT
Oh, of course the famous Mr. Ed Farnan crawls out from under his rock to his write his usual drivel. I thought you would be out with you friend Rush Limbaugh drinking and calling the Nuns who are protesting Paul Ryan's phony Health Plan, Fem Nazi"s. Your writing is lame, your research is weak. I'm going to ask Sister Simone & all the Nun's on the bus to pray for you.

The GOP party of no refuses to discuss immigration with the president on any level they act.Progress has to made some how and POTUS cannot rely on the legislative terrorist in the house
kaydog1 | Jun 15, 2012, 07:37 PM EDT
The LEFTISTS/DEMOCRATS will never oppose anything that might bring them a brief increase in power, although they will lament this precedent whenever the next non-Democrat ascends to the throne in the Oval Office. Our only hopes of remaining a Constitutional Republic, with checks and balances therefore, lie with the Republicans. I pray that they take some effective action over this unconstitutional, treasonous power grab.
