DACA Was Only One Part of Obama's Seizure of Congressional Power
By Michael Bargo, Jr.
The DACA program being terminated by AG Sessions was a Federal
program started by President Obama. The program was promoted as an
administrative strategy to provide eligible youth relief from
deportation. Since the entire issue has been clouded with political
rhetoric it’s important to look at its legal and constitutional status.
The DACA program was started when on November 20, 2014 President
Obama issued an Executive Order. It’s important to note that the US
Constitution does not allow any president to set immigration policy.
Since the DACA EO was directed to delay deportation of illegal immigrants it
clearly falls under the authority of the Immigration and Naturalization
Service, and those Federal rules can only be passed by Congress. The Constitution clearly states in Article I
Section 8 clause 3 that only the Congress shall have power “To establish an
uniform Rule of Naturalization.” It further states that all
legislative powers shall reside in Congress, which shall be composed of a House
of Representatives and a Senate.
The power to establish any rules regarding immigration do not
reside in the office of President and never have. So, at this point the
question is moot: President Obama did not have any authority to issue a DACA
order through any “executive action.”
President Obama himself stated twenty-two times that he has no authority
over issues of immigration. This then means he can’t unilaterally change
any immigration laws. But President Obama’s entire presidency was an
exercise in executive overreach, and several of the changes he made to
immigration law were overturned by the Supreme Court.
It’s important to understand that whether or not one agrees with
what President Obama does about immigration is irrelevant: he has no authority
under the Constitution to write or rewrite, or amend, the rules of immigration
passed by Congress such as the 1996 Illegal Reform and Immigration
Responsibility Act. What President Obama frequently did during his presidency
was go around Congress and write his own laws by changing the application of
existing law through new regulations and rules. He has no more authority
to change laws through bureaucratic rule changes than he does to pass a law.
But this was something he established immediately in his first
term. The $800 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA),
designed to work around existing Federal laws, was clearly established to
enable President Obama and his private army of appointed bureaucrats to rewrite
existing laws. The Actstates, on page two, “The Presidents and the
heads of Federal departments and agencies shall manage and expend the funds
made available in this Act so as to achieve the purposes specified in
subsection (a)…”
While this one sentence seems innocent enough, consider that the
department heads were then appointed by President Obama as “czars.” These
czars were discussed by Judicial Watch in a special report published September 15,
2011. The report states “the number of czars that have been appointed by
the President, or by others in his Administration, appears to total 45…there
are as many as 18 other unfilled or planned czar positions.”
These czars were clearly appointed by Obama to spend money on
policies chosen by President Obama. In addition, in 2011, 56% of the Federal budget was
dedicated -- pre-spent -- on mandatory programs. This includes the
entitlement programs that earn the Democratic Party the votes of
program-dependent voters throughout the US. So, between the czars, ARRA
act money and mandatory spending, President Obama’s party had seized the will
and consent of the voters and used the czars to both choose public policies and
pay for them. At the same time, he refused to negotiate with Republicans
on a budget. The Republican House after 2010 was forced to just go along
with existing mandatory spending programs and through this strategy, President
Obama seized control of the Congress as well, even though his party didn’t have
majority control. This is perhaps unprecedented in US history -- just as
the illegal immigration strategy is unprecedented.
The DACA act is just one of many hundreds of major programs.
The strategy President Obama used to create DACA, while unconstitutional, is
minor compared to the trillions of dollars spent on the mandatory programs
already established to keep his party in control of policy and the national
budget.
It’s no coincidence that the nation’s credit rating was downgraded
after Congress passed the Budget Control Act of 2011, which didn’t control the
budget in 2012 or in the future. In fact, the budget of the US continues to
spiral out of control. Its major component now is mandatory spending,
spending that goes on automatically, without the voters having any influence as
to how their will and consent, as expressed in national elections, is realized
through appropriations.
The Democratic Party’s control of the US Government in Washington
is now effectively a fact. Since no one, under existing practices, will
bring mandatory spending under control, the DACA policy can be seen as just one
more usurpation of the power of Congress to control the rules of
naturalization. The far bigger issue is the impact the growing debt,
interest payments taxpayers are forced to pay, and loss of control they have
over Congress has in dismantling the role voters have in the functions of the
Federal government.
There’s no doubt that Barack Obama, the unknown candidate from
Chicago, was put into office to promote the Democratic Party’s control of US
government at all levels, since all units of government, from the smallest town
to the largest state, now heavily depend upon mandatory spending. This
does not bode well for the ability of voters to control the direction of
government or for the US to remain a government that is, in Lincoln’s words,
“of the people, by the people and for the people.”
Immigration is a very complicated system and, inevitably, tinkering with one part causes effects–sort of like that butterfly’s wings over in China–that are difficult, if not impossible, to anticipate:

How President Obama Shrank America’s Consumer Dollar
Tom Cotton Gets The DACA Conundrum Exactly Right
Immigration is a very complicated system and, inevitably, tinkering with one part causes effects–sort of like that butterfly’s wings over in China–that are difficult, if not impossible, to anticipate:
“President Trump took a first step today toward cleaning up the mess that President Obama’s unlawful amnesty left behind. President Trump is right that this amnesty would never have stood up in court. Yet, we now face a situation where 800,000 people, who were brought to our country as minors, face legal limbo. Dealing with this problem is a legislative task, not an executive-branch task. But we must recognize that codifying the DACA program will have two negative consequences: encouraging future illegal immigration with minors and allowing those 800,000 people to obtain legal status for their family members via chain migration, which rewards the very people who broke the law in the first place and further depresses working-class wages. Thus, we must mitigate these consequences by stopping the chain migration that hurts the working class and by strengthening the enforcement of our immigration laws. I’ve introduced legislation, the RAISE Act, that would limit the amount of low-skilled immigration coming into our country, and my colleagues have several proposals to strengthen enforcement. These should be the starting point of our discussions, and I look forward to working with all of my colleagues to come up with a deal that protects American workers.”
While it seems that common justice demands we try to do something for people who were brought, illegally, to the US as infants and who are for all intents and purposes Americans, we can’t be blind to the fact that DACA was the proximate cause of a flood of unaccompanied minors and families with children hitting the border. We can’t, while trying to remedy one problem, create perverse incentives to attract more of the problem.
(I also note that Cotton outed himself as a racist and xenophobe by mentioning ‘chain migration’ which, I’ve been told, actually does not exist outside of white nationalist rhetoric.)
The solution looks easy: give 800,000 illegals a clear path to citizenship. But what about the next 800,000 that will follow?

How President Obama Shrank America’s Consumer Dollar
President Obama’s great stimulus spending and QE programs saw disposable income of average Americans reverse historic trends and stagnate or actuallydecline. There has been a huge increase in the taxes they have to pay for everything from gasoline to cell phones and property taxes. And since government is responsible for these taxes and the big states are all run by Democrats with liberal news media, these facts are seldom reported.
A December 2015 study of the American middle class done by the Pew Research center found that for the first time in over forty years the middle class no longer includes the majority of Americans. The plain fact is, after the largest so-called stimulus government spending program in world history, conducted by President Obama and his Democratic Party, both the number of persons in the middle class and the proportion of the population shrank.
The Pew Hispanic Center May 2016 Study found that at the end of President Obama’s second term, the middle class had been shrinking in the vast majority of metropolitan areas of the US. The important of the metropolitan areas is that 1) 76% of all Americans live in metro areas, 2) metro areas are the areas where most jobs are located, and 3) illegal immigration is promoted in metro areas all across the nation.

While the shrinking middle class proves that government cannot raise the incomes of middle class persons in the US through stimulus spending, at the same time it shows that the increasing tax burden on the middle class eats away at their disposable income and their lack of spending hurts the local economies.
The biggest flaw in traditional measures of taxation is that the great majority of studies, including those done by the Census Bureau, primarily record state and Federal income tax burdens. They usually do not account for such things as property taxes, motor fuel taxes, alcohol taxes, cigarette taxes, and sales taxes. These taxes have increased at rates faster than the rates of income taxes, proving that local and state governments are placing a great demand on the incomes of local residents throughout the US.
The Tax Foundation has compiled state tax burdens per capita. In 2016 the highest tax burden state was NJ, followed by CT, VT, NY, and IL. The states that are dominated by the Democratic Party have the highest property taxes. Similarly, the states with the highest per capita tax burden were such states as CT, NJ, NY. In New York, for example, each person paid an average of $6,993 in state-local taxes. A family of five paid close to $35,000.
Wireless phone tax burdens have increased as consumers are making less money. The three highest tax rates are, naturally, found in IL, WA, and NY, since these states care the most about economic justice and the middle class. As monthly subscription rates have slowly dropped due to increased cell phone provider competition, the states need to make it up by charging more.
The demand of government upon the middle-class wallet increases
by the day. The state of Illinois, which has the largest unfunded
pension liability of a state, at $251 billion, and the lowest credit
rating, also has not paid state vendors about $15 billion. The
interest alone on these unpaid bills amounts to $20 million per day.
And Illinois is the home of both Barack Obama and Hillary
Clinton. Barack Obama created more debt for the
middle class than any president in US history, and
also had the only huge QE programs: $4.2 Trillion.

Chicago illustrates how rising public pensions impact disposable income. Today 100% of the property taxes in the city go to pensions. If these public pensioners, the great majority of whom earn higher salaries than residents, had 401K programs; the property tax revenue would only go to pay for public services. This reveals an easy way to put a number on the amount: the property tax revenues are then equal to the extra disposable income people would have if the pensioners had 401Ks. Since sales and other taxes are increased to fund the public services (to replace revenues that go to pensions) then this amount is equal to the loss in disposable income. More money would be available for small and medium size businesses and the city would grow. Today Chicago iscollapsing.
These debts not only constrain government spending but reduce the disposable incomes of American workers now and for the foreseeable future.
The great demand upon middle-class incomes comes from government. In California, there are over 40 public servants who have salaries from one to $2.4 million per year. And many hundreds take over $500,000 a year. They expect comparable money to be given to them when they retire. It’s difficult for the average working American who expects a Social Security annual retirement of $17,000 a year to understand how public workers in California can get pensions over $1,400,000 a year, and in Illinois pensions over $500,000 a year. If working middle class residents of these states are expected to have a 401K, so should theone-percenter public servants.
The Tax Foundation also looked at the sources of state and local taxes and published a study in June 2017. While property taxes remain the single greatest source of tax revenues, the idea that the property tax goes solely to fund public services such as police, water and sewer maintenance, street lighting, etc. is now a lie in many areas. The Illinois Policy Institute audited all the cities of Illinois and found that in 10 of the cities including Chicago, all of the property taxes collected go only to pay public sector pensions. This leaves a huge gap in the funding of local public services, which is why Chicago has the highest sales tax, some of the highest taxes on tobacco products, alcoholic beverages, etc.
OXFAM reported that during Obama’s terms,
95% of the wealth created went to the top 1%
of the world’s wealthy. This can be
interpreted as proof that stimulus programs don’t work or, as I
have argued, that the spending was never intended to stimulate the
economy: only to bolster the equities values of public sector union
pension plans, since they are the largest contributors to the
Democratic Party’s national machine in all fifty states. We are
losing our incomes because we’ve been forced to subsidize
Obama’s political party. The debt, Fed balance sheet, and financial
instability indicate there’s no end in sight.
