Elections have consequences, Mr. President

Posted December 01, 2014 4:01 am

President Obama took an oath of office to protect and defend the Constitution and to enforce the laws of this nation. We have seen what happened when Obama refused to defend DOMA in front of the Supreme Court - we now have gay marriage rapidly spreading across the country.

So who knows of the untold consequences the president's reckless act on immigration will have on this nation? An act that even the president has declared he doesn't have the authority to do!

We are a nation of laws, and we must act within the law and stop picking and choosing which laws to enforce. The people of this country support legal immigration, not illegal immigration, Mr. President. You once said elections have consequences.

Well, Mr. President, the people have rejected the direction you are taking the country, so respect the people's decision and let the lawful order of business take place and put on hold any unlawful acts you may harbor and all the unintended acts of good intentions.
