The Party of Treason shows that not much has changed since 1865.

“It is time for the House Republican leadership to decide whether they stand with the majority of the American people and the supposed majority of their conference, or if they’re really going to let Steve King continue to dictate the policy of the Republican Party on immigration. Just to be clear, right now Steve King is winning,” Schumer said.

Schumer also set an August deadline for House Republicans to pass an immigration bill; and he said if nothing is done by then, President Obama “would be more than justified” in making “whatever changes he feels necessary” to fix the system for people who are “unfairly burdened.”

Yeah -- damn those laws that "unfairly burden" people by demanding that they follow them. I know that I was unfairly burdened by that speed limit sign a couple of years back when that cop wrote me a ticket at that speed trap.I've got a former student doing 20 years in prison because the law against armed robbery"unfairly burdened" him and his desire to get at the money he believed a family had in their home. And every year, millions of working Americans are "unfairly burdened" by having to pay income tax so that non-working Americans can continue to lounge around on their asses and collect various transfer payments from the government -- what about us and our unfair burdens?

Mind you, I'm sympathetic to some of those in this country illegally -- like some of my students who I know are not in the country legally and have spent almost no time in the country where they are citizens. I might be willing to go for some sort of status for them -- but folks who have flagrantly broken the law for years (even decades) by choice do not deserve that sort of consideration.

And before you start emoting about the "unfair burden" on the American citizen spouses and children of these illegals, let me remind you that there are plenty of American citizens in our nation's jails and prisons who have family members who are "unfairly burdened" because they are incarcerated for breaking the law. That would include the dying mother of my former student whose health does not allow for her to make the more than 500 mile trip to the prison where her son is located. That would include the many Americans "unfairly burdened" by the failed ObamaCare scheme that Schumer, Obama, and the rest of the Democrat scum in Washington have foisted upon them against their will.

Besides -- last time I checked, the executive cannot work by decree to make laws that Congress did not pass and overturn those that were duly passed by Congress and signed by his predecessors.

Or at least that's what the Constitution says.

But then again, since when did the poseur in the White House ever give a damn about following the Constitution rather than destroying it?
