And she isn't wrong, because ain't shit been done about it. Just committee hearings, and lip flapping. This shit will continue until either (A) Federal agents arrest these people, (B) The electorate finally gets fed up and votes these people out, or (C) the population gets fed up and heads start to roll. Until there actual punishment for government corruption, the government will continue to be corrupt. |

I guess the flip side of that is we get to chose the laws we obey.

So if you make everything illegal, then you can prosecute anyone for anything, and allow anyone to get away with anything.
Seems like a good way to pervert the system to allow you total control over every aspect of the people's lives.

Yes, kind of fucked up. Here's more and the worst part of this is that the GOP could have written the same thing. Keep an eye open Rubio worshipers.
“But, I think it does point to why this bill needs to be passed, because what we want our officers doing is focusing on narco-traffickers and human smugglers and money launderers and others who misuse our border and our immigration system,” Napolitano said. “By having a process by which those in the country illegally can pay a fine, pay fees, register so we know who they are, by dealing with the employer demand for illegal labor, by opening up the visa system, that will have the effect, basically, of confirming the focus of resources where they need to be.” |

Before Obama was elected in 2008, the US Attorney in the Tucson, AZ district refused to prosecute any Mexican citizen apprehended by Border Patrol, Customs, Immigration, DEA for smuggling marijuana across the Mexican border into the United States unless it amounted to 500 pounds or more. US citizens found to be smuggling minimal amounts were prosecuted. Refusing to enforce the laws against illegal alien criminals is nothing new.

The executive branch does have that ability and it's cheered whenever it benefits the party that is cheering it on. Bush certainly decided what the enforcement priorities were for his admin as did Clinton, Bush Sr., and Reagan. The other branches do not get to tell the executive branch how it will allocate it's department's resources, time and priorities. I don't agree with Obama on his priorities but that is the way it is and it has been for forever. |

"Given a limited budget, we have a priority list, of which laws to enforce." That's basically the argument that the DHS is making. What I'm saying is that the Executive branch does have the ability to selectively enforce laws. It makes me uneasy. The entire idea has always made me uneasy, but I still pray that the cop who pulled me over is just going to give me a warning.
