President Barack Obama announced recently that he’s bypassing Congress and violating the Constitution by granting amnesty to every illegal alien in the U.S. under the age of 31. This legalizes millions of illegal aliens, plus grants them work permits when more than 20 million Americans are out of work.

This is a blatant and unprecedented attack on all Americans. Illegal aliens have arrogantly defied and violated our laws by not leaving America, and they’ve chosen to stay here illegally. Obama’s rogue actions represent a new level of dictatorial actions by his already law-defiant administration.

All illegal aliens are in the U.S. illegally. For Obama to grant blanket amnesty to lawbreakers is not supported by law, nor by the majority of the American people who have stated clearly in poll after poll that they want our borders secure and our immigration laws enforced.

We all should call on Congress to take immediate legal and congressional action to halt this illegal usurpation of congressional authority by our rogue president.

Our southern border remains wide open and is under attack daily. Legalizing these millions of foreign criminals currently in the U.S. puts all American citizens at risk and weakens our domestic national security.
