Sheriffs: Obama Amnesty Is ‘Destruction of Our Democracy,’ ‘Gaping Hole’ for Terrorists
by Craig Bannister
Sheriffs from Maryland to Massachusetts warned of the extreme danger of Pres. Obama’s plan to grant executive amnesty to millions of illegal aliens in the U.S.
Speaking out on Monday, they said amnesty would spell the beginning of the end of democracy in America and would embolden both terrorists and violent criminals.
Sheriff Chuck Jenkins, Frederick County, Maryland:
“In my opinion, based on what I’ve seen, every county in America will become a border county. This is absolutely going to worsen the crisis.
What we’re going to see is not only the cost to healthcare, social programs, and education, but the increase in criminals coming into our country, you’re going to see increases in crime, infiltration from transnational gangs, the drug trade and human tracking.”
Sheriff Paul Babeu, Pinal County, Arizona:
“The law applies to you and I as citizens, and yet it appears there is no law when it comes to illegals. The message the President’s action will send is this: if you can get to the border, you’re home free. It completely undermines the rule of law and makes the job of every law enforcement officer – which is already difficult – impossible.
We already have our hands full because the border is not secure: imagine what the situation will look like when the President gives executive amnesty to those already here. It would unleash a tidal wave of illegal border crossings, overwhelming law enforcement. It will be open season for the cartels. Again: the border is not secure now – to give a presidential amnesty would be to make matters dramatically worse for our officers who are trying to do the job the President won’t.”
Not only will Mr Obama not do the job, he forbids law enforcement throughout the nation from doing their jobs as well.
This is a national disgrace that uses illegals cynically as puppets and threatens the sovereignty of the United States.

With a stroke of His Imperial Pen, Mr Obama has shredded the US Constitution and driven the United States towards the realm of any given pathetic banana republic. Perhaps Mr Obama is simply trying to create more stars and bars upon the epaulets of his faux uniform.
Unlawfully and unconstitutionally, Mr Obama has decided unilaterally that he can create his own nation-changing law and bypass Congress entirely — which means he has completely done away with a full third of foundational American government. For those requiring a reminder, the three branches are: Executive, Judicial and Legislative. Mr Obama has kicked aside the Legislative branch: the US Congress.
This is a day of infamy. A day of Constitutional infamy.
What will this do? It will incentivize people from far away — think Central America and South America, like the children a few months ago — to attempt to invade our southern border. Some will come from the north and some from our lateral coasts.
“The problem is the central attribute you have to have as any leader, in any walk of life and certainly in government is trust,” Ron Fournier of the National Journal said. “This president has destroyed the credibility of his administration himself and government itself.”
Hugh Hewitt said that condescension is the proper response to Mr Obama’s executive order. And I would tend to agree. What is not warranted is any kind of reaction to include either a “shutdown of government” or an “impeachment.” That would be playing right into the seriously stupid hands of Leftists.
That said, I don’t trust the GOP to not be stupid. I wish I were more assured of a proper GOP response.
An edict such as this, no matter its name, is a precedent set that few people will want. It is a precedent that can be referred-to in the future by future presidents. Republican presidents. Actions presidents take, unhalted, do nothing but provide fodder for more power-taking in the future. Demorats fail to see and understand this concept. They apparently can only think of the here and now. This is nullification of laws and an essential re-writing of laws. By one man.
Leftists “justify” Obama’s actions by pointing to Ronald Reagan, who they say created his own Executive Order with regard to immigrants. And that is completely INcorrect. Please see this very important article by Gabriel Malor.
This nation has checks and balances for a reason. There can never be an Imperial President. There can never be a monarch in the United States of America. However, when Leftists and Demorats set a precedent, they fail to realize that a reverse precedent can thusly be set. A presidential temper tantrum cannot and should not set precedent but it appears to be. Where is his stated authority for this?
Which means: what if a president decided to turn a blind eye to lynching homosexuals? What if a president decided to declare no borders? What if a president decided to declare drugs fully lawful?
What if this president sets precedent for the reverse?
Further:
What if this means Americans can pick and choose which laws THEY wish to obey and which laws they wish to disregard. Goose/gander.

P.S.
Demorats and Leftists and parts of the GOP tried to bury us Conservatives. They didn’t realize: we are seeds.
