Congress Goes AWOL On Border Crisis - 'The Truth Is, It Shouldn't Have Gotten to The Point It's At Now'
Greg Corombos / WND
Congressional Republicans are slow to denounce President Obama’s “lawless” actions and doing even less in response, according to Center for Immigration Studies legal analyst John Feere.
As the latest crisis on the U.S.-Mexico border swells, many Republicans accuse Obama of inviting people to come to the U.S. illegally through his unilateral implementation of much of the DREAM Act in 2012 and by endorsing instant legalization through the Senate immigration bill. But while the criticism of Obama has been prevalent, what they’re doing about it appears less clear.
“Unfortunately, Congress has been largely absent. The truth is, it shouldn’t have gotten to the point it’s at now,” said Feere, alleging weak GOP reaction to Obama’s de facto legalization efforts in 2012.
“As soon as President Obama did that, Congress should have immediately reacted and demanded that he stop that lawless program. I mean, the American people have said no to the DREAM Act through their elected representatives numerous times. That wasn’t good enough for the president. He unilaterally decreed it into law through this deferred action, but Congress was largely silent,” Feere said.
And Feere said that response simply continued an existing pattern.
“Years prior, Congress was largely silent when President Obama narrowed the scope through what we generally refer to as the Morton memos, which are a series of memos that limited immigration enforcement to the worst of the worst: the murderers, the rapists, the people who are involved in violent crimes. Certainly it makes sense to go after those people first, but the way those memos operate is to give a pass to virtually everyone who isn’t engaged in the violent crime who’s here illegally,” he said.

I’m impressed…..and yes…..Congress has been more focused on childish political games than the execution of their individual job requirements.
However…You forgot to mention the defunding of the Secure the Fence Act that took place Just Last Summer. (Because Congress is indeed responsible for voting it down. Had the fence been built…..the influx of migrants would be a non-issue).
Hi, babe. I agree with your assessment to a degree. Fences along a border do not for stopping illegal immigration. What do affect illegal immigration are laws charging people, who hire or provide assistance to an illegal immigrant, with criminal offenses. Now this will definitely curve if not stop illegal immigration. ……..Suppress the resources, thus kill the drive to immigrate.
