Because of Obama’s purposeful dereliction of duty an untold number of illegal immigrants will kick off their shoes and come on in, competing against Americans for our jobs and limited public services. There is no end in sight as our president prioritizes parties over doing the job he was hired by voters to do. Securing our borders is obviously fundamental here; it goes without saying that it is his job.

The federal government is trillions of dollars in debt; many cities are on the verge of insolvency; our overrun healthcare system, police forces, social services, schools, and our unsustainably generous welfare-state programs are stretched to the max. We average Americans know that. So why has this issue been allowed to be turned upside down with our “leader” creating such unsafe conditions while at the same time obstructing any economic recovery by creating more dependents than he allows producers? His friendly wealthy bipartisan elite, who want cheap foreign labor and can afford for themselves the best “border security” money can buy in their own exclusive communities, do not care that Obama tapped us out.

He has a discretion to delay deportation of certain people. But if he does this for every single illegal immigrant or whole class of them, then he's no longer exercising his discretion. Executive action is only valid when he is exercising discretion, like pardons.

Oh, nonsense.

It's like the current trend in New York and other states, where while marijuana is illegal, the police have a standing policy that they are de-emphasising the pursuit of people with small amounts of pot. It's smarter use of limited funds.

Or are you actually saying that you'd rather they spend time and resources going after high school kids rather then focusing on people who are actually doing criminal acts here??

They aren't going after anybody, moreover, they are encouraging others to come. I rather they deport everybody, not by going after them, but creating conditions, like ID-s, so most will leave voluntarily. If the state needs anybody, they can bring people over legal ways. Of course, it takes years and boxes of documents, but that is the right thing to do.

Okay, now you are just being dishonest. 15 seconds on Google would have told you that the Obama administration has been deporting record numbers of people.

And, if you actually cared about the issue rather then the person(s), then you would be all for increased supervision of the large corporations who are openly flauting federal law and hiring illegal workers in unsafe conditions for less then minimum wage.

Oh, yeah. And as for this "terrible problem"

Who are the "persons"? Did I ever said anything about letting corporations to hire illegals? Actually, if you were honest, or maybe deeper thinker, you would realize that ID-s would decrease, if not eliminate, illegal hiring.

No, but instead of focusing upon the people with the means, money and power, you are focusing on the victims.

It's kind of like the drug war... focusing on the users is near-pointless. Focusing on the cartels and smugglers fights the problem.

But hey, that's what this 'dishonest' person who is 'not a deep thinker' thinks when told by someone who doesn't like it when people call them names.

You are wrong - you focus on both.
And sorry for being rude. Just because you called me dishonest, doesn't mean it's OK for me to call you the same, seriously, I apologize.
