Greenlighting Terrorism Supporters

House Speaker John Boehner said yesterday that lawmakers are reluctant to enact new immigration laws because Barack Obama increasingly enforces only the ones he likes.  This practice is a threat to our republican form of government and the Constitution that assures the rule of law, not that of imperial presidents.

A case in point is Team Obama’s new decision to enforce selectively the laws prohibiting material support for terrorism. Now, individuals who have knowingly given “minor” assistance to jihadists can be admitted into our country.

Allowing entry to supporters of jihad will inevitably mean giving greater latitude to such activities in this country, too – a top objective of Muslim Brotherhood operatives influential with the Obama administration.  But it is against the law, and Congress must ensure that the law is enforced.
