“If anyone had any doubt about President Obama’s lack of respect for the Constitution, the separation of powers or the rule of law, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano dispelled that doubt on Aug. 18.

Napolitano has announced rather cavalierly that her department will no longer enforce the nation’s immigration laws. According to White House spokesperson Cecilia Munoz, our immigration laws will henceforth be enforced “in a smart and effective manner.” Reading the fine print, this translates into deporting only illegal aliens who commit “serious crimes,” and all others will get the benefits of “prosecutorial discretion.” This amounts to amnesty by White House decree, not by act of Congress.

Over 300,000 existing deportation orders will be disregarded by the agents of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency, and millions of future cases will never get that far.

State-level enactment of mandatory E-Verify laws and tough sanctions against employment of illegal aliens is the best way – indeed, in the short term, the only way – to obstruct and neutralize Obama’s unilateral, administrative amnesty.

The Obama amnesty ought to be the provocation for a national citizens’ movement to institute mandatory E-Verify laws in every state. Over 20 states besides Arizona allow initiative ballot measures, and several states have passed strict anti-illegal immigration laws through the legislature. It’s time for dozens of states to initiate such legislation, and there must be a national, coordinated effort to assist states in doing so.
