Since precedent has been established by a certain prior president, let's say he misspoke.

Hmmm, I seem to recall the President saying he was going to have the DOJ look into this question of precedent over the summer. It looks like he found a couple of them. One under GHW and an even better one from St. Ronnie's reign of terror.

Poor rightwing nipplehead's explode as they set their own hair on fire.

That's just history.

They can rewrite that.

It's safe to assume nobody else read the link?

I read it and it confirms what I had asserted earlier; namely, every President since Eisenhower has used executive action to address immigration issues. The actions may vary by style and degree, but they are executive actions nonetheless that involve the use of executive discretion to address immigration issues.

The simple fact is that the budget for the INS and immigration courts only support deportation of a tiny fraction of illegal immigrants annually. This essentially compels the use of executive discretion on this matter, just as the Federal government doesn't bust every every pot smoker in the nation and send them to Federal prison, even though they would be within their legal rights to do so.

I answered that question earlier in this thread but you're ducking that fact.

I searched but did not find an answer, so I will take your word for it though I will still not know what you said.

Speaking of ducking, have you answered this one yet?
