Dear Conservative,
Yesterday, we saw the resignations of VA Secretary Eric Shinseki and White House Press Secretary and Habitual Liar Jay Carney. Both resignations came within hours of one another, something that is seldom seen in the modern presidential era.
Shinseki obviously had to go. I have been calling for his resignation/impeachment from the beginning. While I respect his military career immensely, he presided over an unprecedented level of corruption within the VA. Jay Carney was equally bad; however, I think I am going to miss him giving me the propaganda of the day. Even on my worst days, Carney could always make me laugh with the nonsense he would spew.
There is, however, another story brewing in Washington, D.C. that has been overshadowed by these two resignations and it needs your absolute attention. The Obama administration is making some serious moves on the illegal immigrant amnesty front…
Barack Obama has ordered that the internal review of his administration’s immigration policies be delayed until the end of summer. The review is specifically focused on the administration’s immigration and deportation policies which have been arbitrary, at best. Now, I know what you are saying: “Isn’t it good that Obama is delaying his immigration review?” NO!
By delaying the review, which could have otherwise been released any day now, Obama is essentially blackmailing Congress to pass immigration reform before the end of the session. I told you about this a few days ago; how Harry Reid promised that Obama would use an executive order if the GOP didn’t pass an immigration reform bill in the next few weeks. Now, Obama is signaling that he is prepared to do just that. The assumption among policy experts is that within this delayed deportation review is a dramatic conclusion that deportations are not working and that they are unethical. No, you can’t make this stuff up…
The Obama administration is prepared to put an end to deportations and give amnesty to illegals right now, but the President wants to give Congress one more opportunity to acquiesce to his will. That CANNOT be allowed to happen!
It is my sincere hope that Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson will resign or be impeached. I know that he’s not a household name like Janet Napolitano was, but he is absolutely a stain on this administration (which is actually saying a lot considering how awful Obama’s presidency has been…).
Jeh Johnson (that’s how you spell his name) is the man who Obama has charged with reviewing the country’s immigration policies. That’s fancy talk for “find a loophole to give out amnesty.” He is authoring the immigration report that Obama has now delayed and, based on everything this man has said, he supports the idea of ending deportations and handing out amnesty to illegals.
Now, hold onto your hats, because this is going to get bumpy. In testimony before the House Judiciary Committee this week, Jeh Johnson released a statement condemning Congress’ oversight and accusing your legislators of trying to “micromanage” the Obama administration.
“I think that the legislative branch,” Johnson said, “whether it’s the enforcement of immigration laws, the enforcement of criminal laws or how we conduct counterterrorism operations, needs to be careful not to intrude into the discretion that the executive branch should normally have.”
Congressman Trey Gowdy, everyone’s favorite fiery interrogator, asked Johnson a simple question: what is the difference between “prosecutorial discretion” and simply ignoring parts of the law that the administration doesn’t like? Secretary Johnson’s response is absolutely startling.
“The legislative branch can and should and has the prerogative to set the broad parameters for national policy, and the executive should be given a certain amount of discretion based on existing circumstances to implement and enforce those laws,” the Secretary replied.
Now, that is a nice way of sugar coating the fact that no matter what laws Congress passes, no matter how specific their language may be, the Obama administration will continue to pick and choose which laws are enforced and which are not! Secretary Jeh Johnson, while an idiot, isn’t the problem. The problem is that not only does this administration not understand the rule of law and the constitution, but the Obama White House actually believes that it can rule the country by executive orders!
Obamacare enrollment must end on a certain date? Obama doesn’t care; he’ll just change the law!
Can’t pass gun control through the Congress? Don’t worry, Obama has executive orders for that!
No movement on “immigration reform?” The administration will just stop deporting illegal aliens, regardless of how many crimes they commit!
This is our reality! The President is blackmailing Congress, saying that if they don’t give him what he wants legally, then he will use tyrannical executive orders to achieve it!
We aren’t asking Congress to do a lot. We are just asking that they find their backbones and don’t capitulate to the terrorist occupying the Oval Office who is threatening to destroy this country with the stroke of a pen!
Sincerely,
Joe Otto
