Tit for Tat

_{President Obama used executive orders to short-circuit laws he did not like. Another way of stating it is to say that he purposely stopped enforcing laws which were legally implemented by congress. To be more explicit, by refusing to enforce laws, he was effectively writing his own laws. This is certainly not the way the founders intended our government to work. However, his executive orders did become the “Law of the land”. He accomplished this in some cases by defining his executive orders as “selective enforcement” which he claimed was allowed by “executive privilege”.}

_{Ok, since Obama set the precedent of using “executive privilege” in this manner, then it logically follows that President Trump can also use the same executive privilege to suspend the enforcement of some laws. “Selective enforcement” is really supposed to be used when there are limited resources to enforce a given law. So why not use this in a similar manner to accomplish President Trump’s immigration policies which the democrats are stonewalling.}

_{Point number one, in order to provide adequate border security until the wall is built, there is a need to allocate additional ICE officers for border security, and the upgrading of border “barriers”. In addition, there is the need to allocate additional ICE officers to provide “special enforcement” of immigration laws in “sanctuary areas”. There is a need for more ICE resources to destroy the MS13 gangs and other similar groups. It is logical to take the following actions to reallocate immigration resources.}

_{Suspend all “lottery immigration” and “chain immigration” activities thereby freeing up resources which can be reassigned. Drastically reduce the number of legal immigrants who will be allowed access into the U.S. to free up more ICE resources. The resources freed up by these actions will be reassigned to upgrading border “barriers”, increased ICE enforcement in “sanctuary areas”, and dealing with criminal activities by illegal aliens with emphasis on gangs and drug dealers. This reallocation of ICE resources should remain in place until the border wall is built and the “sanctuary area” requirements are no longer needed.}
