An excellent question from Conn Carroll, especially in light of the news from CBO this morning that the Corker/Hoeven “border surge” will supposedly reduce illegal immigration by one-third to one-half. (The original Gang of Eight bill would have reduced it by just one-quarter.) That conclusion depends on a lot of assumptions, but the core assumption is that Obama will in fact enforce the new law as it’s written. Will he? He now refuses to enforce a key provision of his own signature legislation because it’s politically inconvenient for his party to do so. Come 2016, if Democrats are in trouble and desperate for Latino turnout, why wouldn’t he “delay” some of the Gang of Eight’s border provisions? Don’t forget, he’s taken unilateral action on immigration in the name of winning elections before.

If Obama can unilaterally delay ObamaCare’s employer mandate, why wouldn’t he delay new border security measures too? « Hot Air
If Obama was on the up and up he would have call for and appointed independent counsels for Fast & Furious and the IRS scandals. As it is, the FBI took nearly a month to investigate Benghazi, they have yet to come up with one arrest.and as far as the IRS is concerned even Director Mueller doesn't know who is handling the investigation. Would Obama enforce the law as written. So far he's proven to be an abject failure in that department.
