“The Constitution is clear: Congress shall make the law, the judiciary interprets the law, and the executive enforces the law. The President, however, seems to think he can make and interpret the law. Last year, Congress passed the Visa Waiver Improvement and Terrorist Travel Prevention Act. It requires foreign nationals from certain countries to obtain a visa before they come to the United States. Now the administration has decided to waive this new requirement. The President plans to allow dual citizens and people who have traveled to places like Syria, the Sudan, Iraq, and Iran to waltz back into the United States without a visa. The Department of Homeland Security estimates that 5,000 Westerners have made the journey to Iraq and Syria to fight with militant groups like ISIS. Allowing this new executive edict will only weaken U.S. national security. The Founders implemented the separation of powers to protect the people from an all-powerful--omnipotent--government. The administration's executive overreach violates the Constitution and puts Americans and our security at risk. And that is just the way it is. ____________________”
