A Vanderbilt University law professor told a House committee on Tuesday that President Barack Obama’s failure to enforce federal immigration law is a “dereliction of duties” that puts Americans at risk.
“President Obama’s failure to enforce federal immigration laws raises the question of whether we are a nation of laws or a nation without the courage of its convictions,” Professor Carol Swain said in her opening remarks. “This dereliction of duties places our citizens at risk, and it damages our national sovereignty and standing in the world.”
The hearing before the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration Policy and Enforcement focused on the impact of illegal immigration on American workers and unemployment in the United States.
“The failure to enforce immigration laws means that American citizens are unprotected from a massive influx of people of foreign-born persons who have entered the country without authorization and have openly stolen jobs, goods, and opportunities from law-abiding American citizens,” Swain said.
Instead of enforcing federal immigration law, the Obama administration is thwarting state and local efforts to do so, she testified.
“Not only is the current presidential administration not adequately enforcing immigration laws, it has used the power of the federal government to fight states and localities (that) have made good faith efforts to assist the federal government in performing its constitutional duties to protect the citizenry against domestic and foreign threats.”

The reality over the Obama machine with full abstruction for the law, is certainly a slow crawl across America.
Certainly, Prof. Carol Swain has my full attention, and we in AZ, thank her.
But where’s the rest of our electors, law enforcers, and the rest of America who own this problems as well?
All of you who do have understanding about this failure, to secure our borders in the S/W, must understand that we are losing this full blown war in North America.
Border States are broke paying for the cost of it.
Two border states, CA and New MX, have never acknowledge there HAVE a problem.
Sanctuary status continues in CA and 70 other cities across America.
To the 29 States, that have passed stricker laws ( E-Verify) and enforced the Federal Laws , they certainly realize o how and what they will become as more refuse to become Sanctury , which IS violation of Fed. Law.
I haven’t heard any leadership from D.C. ever address this run away freight train. I have never heard anyone address the full duplicity of Banking, over this issue.
If cartel held assets were frozen through our American banking system, certainly a tactic utlized after 911, do you think it would do unpresented damage to the cartel organizations? Do you think?
