The Constitution ensures that all branches of government are equal, and in this case, President Obamas decision to single-handedly grant amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants does not clear the necessary hurdles. I applaud the 26 states, including Michigan, that made a point to fight this massive overreach. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
