Constitutional crisis

[yiostheoy]

A constitutional crisis is a situation that the legal system's constitution or other basic principles of operation appear unable to resolve; it often results in a breakdown in the orderly operation of governmentMost commonly, constitutional crises involve some degree of conflict between different branches of government (e.g., executive, legislature, and/or judiciary), or between different levels of government in a federal system (e.g., state and federal governments).

You are preventing nobody from crossing right now.

Umm, there's a wall along the border in all population centers located there, and along a lot of the border that's not populated. That prevents a lot of people from crossing.

If it weren't there, the entire population of Tijuana would have walked into San Diego by now. Probably true for every othe border city, too.

The wall doesn't stop them all. But it stops most of them. It's the ones it doesn't stop, that are the problem.


Yes, there is. It's called a "border checkpoint". And a Customs office. And our normal immigration laws, whoich have been in effect for generations.

They work fine... if we obey them. The problem is, we haven't been obeying them. That's what's led to ALL the immigration "problems" we face today.

The hysterics and liars who say "The system is broken", are wrong. The system simply isn't being used.

And in some cases, such as when Obama announces that children won't be deported, or when Boehner says we will change our laws to that people who entered illegally will be expedited into citizenship (which means we won't deport them, either), the system is willfully thwarted.

Part of "The System" - that is, our immigration policy for the last sixty-plus years - includes our commitment to enforce and obey the laws that say anyone who comes in illegally, or ovestays an expired visa, will be deported. That kept a lot of illegals from bothering to try.

Only when we advertised that we wouldn't do that any more, did millions start violating what laws we had left, and walking in, in hopes of being allowed to stay. (They don't really care about citizenship, they just want to stay and not worry about being kicked out).


No, the only persons "harmed" (actually "affected", we didn't make Mexico a third-world shithole) by our longstanding laws, are the people from foreign countries who wanted to come in or stay without a visa.

Only when we started to violate our own laws and fail to uphold them, did we start harming law-abiding citizens.

Like the stupid drug laws, the law itself is creating the criminal enterprise south of the border.

No, lack of enforcement of the law is creating the criminal enterprise south (and north) of the border.

Now that we've gotten people used to walking over without consequence, it's going to be MUCH more painful to start enforcing the law and boot them all out again, than it would have been to keep them out in the first place, and require that they get visas and go thru the background checks and medical exams that have always been there.

But that doesn't mean we shouldn't do it.

The usual hysterics and liars have been howling for years now, that "the system is broken", that we need to change our laws.

No, we don't. We just need to start obeying them. Umm, that's what they were there for, remember?

If we'd done that all along, we wouldn't have nearly the problems we have now, nor the prospect of huge pain and inconvenience of having to start obeying them at this late date.

But obeying them is still our only viable course. It's just not an EASY course, any more.

yup ... enforce the laws on the books. Why would illegals respect new laws if they won't respect current laws?

The bigger question is why the President of the United States has decided to usurp a power given expressly to Congress by the Constitution.

Just as my OP is questioning.

Which time was this ??
