Island when my father was recruited to work at a Textile Factory there. My parents, like the parents of those who might be eligible for deferred action under the president s executive authority, came here in pursuit of the American Dream for their children. Last month, president obama announced policy changes that bring muchneeded humanity and transparency to our immigration system. The president s actions are well within the scope of his authority. He is relying on the doctrine of prosecutorial discretion which you heard about which provides the department of Homeland Security as well as every Law Enforcement agencies in this country the authority to set enforcement priorities to target resources and to shape how the law will be implemented. The doctrine of prosecutorial discretion is well established with solid constitutional, legal and historical grounds. First, it is well settled in the courts that the executive officials have wide latitude in exercising this prosecutorial discreti
Fully to our society. Reasonable minds might disagree on the politics or whether this is even real good policy. But what issen deniable is that the status quo is wholly unacceptable. Lupita, the brave 13yearold who is in the audience today, understands the psychological trauma the threat of deportation can cause. I met her over eight years ago when her father was detained in a large Los Angelesarea raid. During the years that followed, lupita suffered and struggled. Most americans understand that u. S. Citizens like lupita need their parents to help them grow. The president s actions are good news for lupita and her little sister. Because her mother isabel who is also here today should qualify under this new Deferred Action Program. Every daughter needs their mother. And our nations laws should support Strong Families rather than rip them apart. What is truly at stake here today is the fight for the sole of our nation. Are we going to continue ripping parents away from their children .
To make a 30second comment on what you just said. I am not going to yield to you. Im going to ask my questions of the gentlemen. The president has dispensed the law, suspended the law until he says otherwise. That is not what you normally think of as prosecutorial discretion, typically involves suspensions of criminal law, not the Immigration Laws, at least the civil aspects of immigration. And president obama sites an opinion of the justice Departments Office of Legal Council to justify his executive legalization of millions of unlawful aliens. Isnt it true that the Legal Counsel doesnt have a particularly great track record when it comes to questions of executive power. The Obama Administration in 2012 touted an olc opinion justifying the president s controversial recess appointments. Didnt the Supreme Court rule those appointments were constitutional in a unanimous 90 ruling. He lost 90. The Justice Department office of Legal Counsel states that the sail yen feature of classbased af
