I guess I missed the part of the Presidential Oath Of Office where it says  the president can disobey the laws he doesn’t like

President Barack Obama on Monday told a student who has received a deportation notice that he does not want to deport her — he wants people like her to succeed.

The exchange happened during a town hall event sponsored by the Spanish-language television network Univision at a Washington, D.C., school.

A student, who appeared via Skype, asked: “My question for the president is, why [is the government] saying that deportations have stopped — or the detention of many students like me, why is it that we are still receiving deportation letters like this one?”

Obama answered, “We have redesigned our enforcement practices under the law to make sure that we’re focusing primarily on criminals, and so our deportation of criminals are up about 70 percent. Our deportation of non-criminals are down, and that’s because we want to focus our resources on those folks who are destructive to the community.

Or, we could actually contain our borders and stop them from coming here. Then he got to his “oh, sh*t, did I just say that? Crap, gotta cover my butt” moment

The president later added, “America is a nation of laws, which means I, as the president, am obligated to enforce the law.”

Um, then you should be deporting people, like the student who asked the question.
