President's Executive Order to Promote Amnesty.

Since taking office, the President has been an outward
supporter of the Development, Relief, and Education for
Alien Minors (DREAM) Act. Frustrated at Congress'
refusal to pass this legislation, the President took
matters into his own hands. Though I do not, by any
means, agree with amnesty in any form, I am more
disappointed in the President's dismissal of the United
States Constitution. Executive Orders should be only
used when American stability is at risk. I fail to
comprehend how passage of the DREAM Act is a serious
enough matter to completely override how our Founders
desired the Legislative Branch to handle these kinds of
matters.

In a letter to Senator Harry Reid, Homeland Security
Secretary Janet Napolitano stated this Executive Order
would eliminate hundreds of thousands of cases that are
clogging up the courts. She said that this will allow
enforcement agencies to focus on "criminal aliens, those
who pose a threat to public safety and national security,
repeat immigration law violators and other individuals
prioritized for removal."
