re: #88 Gus

Sounds like a plan. For one. It’s not even an EO. It’s a DHS directive. Bozo Twitchy morons are drinking the Malkin Koolaid once again. But yeah. A lot of chest beating and downright near Rense.com paranoia. FEMA camps iz next!!11ty

Like I pointed out upthread, the President is well within his rights to direct enforcement of laws on the books. It’s the last-ditch option for the executive when he/she doesn’t like what the legislature has passed and they’ve overridden his veto - or in this case, stalled indefinitely without passing the bill containing the desired non-enforcement.
