Barack Obama (2011 version) on why he, as President, does not have the authority to stop the deportation of students who are here illegally:
“With respect to the notion that I could suspend deportations through executive order, that's just not the case, because there are laws on the books that Congress has passed …The executive branch's job is to enforce and implement those laws and then the judiciary has to interpret the law. There are enough laws on the books by Congress that are very clear in terms of how we have to enforce our immigration system, that for me through simply an executive order ignore those mandates would not conform with my appropriate role as president.”
