Does the Obama administration's selective enforcement make the rule of law largely irrelevant?

[bing49]

Immigration as an example

[hrafn]

Liberals aren't real familiar with the concept of law anyway

they think its applicable only to enemy's of Obama

[shen86]

Obama has deported more illegal immigrants than the past three Presidents COMBINED

but, by all means, don't ever let the facts get in the way of your delusions, so don't read the article posted below

for anyone else that wants facts:

Findings by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse show more illegal immigrants were removed from the United States during the first nine months of this fiscal year than during the same period in 2008, when Republican George W. Bush was president and controlled immigration enforcement.

The number of those ejected from the country between Oct. 1, 2009, and June 30 of this year is nearly twice as high as it was in the same period ending June 30, 2005.

The TRAC report also shows the Obama administration is devoting more resources to removing those who have committed serious crimes.

During the first nine months of the fiscal year, TRAC, using Immigration and Customs Enforcement data, figures 136,714 "criminal aliens" were deported. That same figure in 2008 was 85,334.

Most presidents do some form of selective enforcement. However Obama has doubled the deportations over Bush Jr, so perhaps we need to be giving him some credit on the improvement. I'm sort of sick of hearing my fellow cons whine and moan when Obama's got taxes lowest in history, when Obama's got deportations highest in history. Yeah, I get it, there's a recession, and it's not our first and to be honest Obama did not create it. So we need to on occasion back him up on the few things he does that we agree with otherwise we look like selective conservatives.

It makes the law a weapon against the people who oppose him. There is no equal protection in the US under Obama.

The Obama Mob's propaganda about being hard on immigration is a lie. Selective data cherry picked, other ignored, and false assumptions pushed. It's a lie, propaganda. They lie as easily as they breath.

If you listened to Obama he was actually encouraging oil exploration, but that's a lie. Bush opened it up and all the numbers are a result of that. Obama's been working hard to deny as many good oil projects as he can, or give them to George Soros biggest investment Petrobras oil co from Brazil like he did the BP oil find which is worth over a trillion $ and he just gave to them for free. Petrobras also got 2 billion to drill deeper than BP had while Obama stopped US oil companies. AND the oil rigs in the Gulf couldn't work because of Obama's obstruction, happy gain for Soros again, they most went to work for Petrobras leaving the US companies without oil rig support, further obstructing our oil supply.

You were saying?

Then there's this: http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Government-IT/C…
Exactly who is it that is supporting illegal immigration?

Edit: Here's the truth about your "executive order". http://www.factcheck.org/2011/07/did-obama-enact-dream-act/

I feel Obama is only doing his job. He will make the right decisions concerning this country and keep in mind alot of this stuff was already set in place before he got there he is only enforcing and more than likely he is being forced to do certain things. so much pressure lord have mercy.

Yes, i agree
Immigration is one example, also how do they determine who gets a bailout, who gets waivers to get out of obmacare, which companies can get away with paying no taxes. Selective enforcement is a sign of coming tyranny.

Voter intimidation as another example.

The Obama administration's selective enforcement merely shows he's a perfectly ordinary Democrat.
