1. I agree that the President is oft times criticized unfarily on this forum. I just want to remind you of something I keep reminding others of. HE IS THE PRESIDENT, and once you get elected, you will be blamed for a lot, many if not most times unfairly. It matters not your party.....it has always been that way and will always be that way.
With the internet availability, it is more noticeable, and more accessible.
This is the reason and the point I keep trying to make to YOU and others who pollute this forum with the one liners and the smart a$$ remarks.
Discuss the issues and why you feel the way you do, not the individual.
The smart aleck defenses of the WH are just as much to blame as it simply enflames the rhetoric that does no body any good at all.
2. You appear to be against enforcing the law. May I ask why you feel that way ? I do not think anyone, including you, me or anyone, can pick and choose the laws we like, the rules we want to play by. They are set and are the law until amended. It is my opinion that lack of any respect for any law is our problem in this country. We have made our base....THE LAW...a political football, and it should not be.

Where did you get the impression that I am against enforcing the law? The problem is laws that do not accomplish the goals that they set out to do should be changed. Laws aren't caste in stone. Both of the articles referenced in the thread explained who and why the prisoners are being released, and under the conditions of their release. The people that I attacked selectively chose what they want to be the case, facts be damned.
Both the illegal immigration laws, and the mandatory drug sentencing laws should be changed. Read this article concerning the strict Alabama immigration laws.

When you take a real hard line, you will fall flat on your face. The Alabama law was so strict some parts of it were unconstitutional. The same thing happened with the Arizona strict immigration laws. The Supreme Court ruled that you can't require people to carry their papers. If they don't have them, you can't legally arrest, or detain them. Given the Supreme Court ruling, how the hell is Trump going to find and deport 11/12 million people?
This is an election year, and the Republican candidates have to appeal to their base especially in the primary. The last thing in the world that their base wants to do is change any laws that helps minorities. They want to take a hard line on everything. You can't be reasonable with unreasonable people.
It is a good thing that Obama executive action on illegal immigrants will be ruled upon, after the next election. Maybe then some common sense immigration laws will be enacted, because then election will be over.
