All good points FD... but, just like the Democrats, you're adopting a very "legalistic" point of view.

You must consider the "tyranny in the name of God" that America broke away from 250yrs ago. We are not a "nation of laws" as the Obama's would have you to believe; Tyrants love to write laws! No, the whole point of establishing a Representative Constitutional Republic was to safeguard the USA from the tyranny of law, especially in the name of God. The US Constitution is an ideal, a definition of liberty, freedom, and equal rights that we, as Americans, are supposed to unite and agree upon, and our laws are supposed to reflect and defend. This is the reason we separate church from state, and our supreme court or elected president do not write laws. Our representatives write laws and the supreme court decides if they are Constitutional.

The problem today is that law in the name of "minority interest" has indeed convoluted the Constitution. Neither law or the Constitution applies to everyone universally anymore. Political correctness has replaced morality and equality so the president is perfectly free to dictate as he pleases, especially if he has majority control of the senate. Today the US Supreme Court is a joke, Constitutionality is no longer a primary focus or concern.

As far as walls are concerned, the first and primary function of any named government is to protect its citizens and borders. That should tell you where our current administration's heads are at!
