Obama immigration amnesty to include middle school dropouts http://dailycaller.com/2012/08/15/obama-immigration-amnesty-to-include-middle-school-dropouts/#ixzz23m5aQesI I don’t get this. First the prez issues blanket “amnesty” to a certain class of people, which is, I guess, a legitimate constitutional presidential power. But what exactly is amnesty? Amnesty synonyms: absolution, pardon, forgiveness, remission, remittal (release from the guilt or penalty of an offense) OK, I get it. He absolves them of their sins (coming into the country illegally), pardons them (if they have been caught and convicted), negates their crime(s) and remits their sins. But what about their “right” to remain in our country? It does not give them the right to get a job or a DL or allow them to remain in the country as unregistered citizens. That is not “amnesty”. Those are changes in the law written by the Congress and disobeyed by the Executive Branch. We call it legislation. And how is anyone going to determine whether the univited guests are 30 or 31, much less at what age they were brought into the country? Or, even, from which country they hail? Or is it Constitutional to differentiate between someone due to age? Or how well they did in school? I take that back. This is not legislation. This is an Amendment to the Constitution. Congress has the power To establish an uniform rule of naturalization, and uniform laws on the subject of bankruptcies throughout the United States : Article I, Section 8, clause 4 of the US Constitution. Is the Constitution really unenforceable? Is any of it enforceable? Can it be ignored or amended at will by the POTUS? By what right does the current govt derive their just powers if not the Constitution? IMHO, the written contract with We the People is broken. Null and void. With the demise of the Constitution, Declaration of Independence becomes the true Supreme Law of the Land by default. Our inalienable God given rights. http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/declaration_transcript.html It’s time to convene an Article V convention. · US Constitution ARTICLE V The Congress, whenever two-thirds of both houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to this constitution, or on the application of the legislatures of two-thirds of the several states, shall call a convention for proposing amendments, which, in either case, shall be valid to all intents and purposes, as part of this constitution, when ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several states, or by conventions in three-fourths thereof, as the one or the other mode of ratification may be proposed by the Congress: Provided, that no amendment which may be made prior to the year 1808, shall in any manner affect the first and fourth clauses in the ninth section of the first article; and that no state, without its consent, shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate.
