BTW, it is within the power of the legislative branch of our government to change the laws, and the ways that breaking the law is handled in this country. It is also proper for the Executive Branch to promote a position i support of, or against a change in the law to the legislators.

Why would seeking to change the law constitute not executing it?

It wouldn't, if he was executing it in good faith while seeking such legislation. He's straddling, doing neither.

Take a hypothetical governor who opposes capital punishment: he can work to repeal the law while faitfully carrying out the executions until such time as new legislation is enacted.

That's not true.

You may not find the current level of enforcement and border protection to your satisfaction, but it's there regardless.

That is unless you can show proof that the administration has ordered the agencies that patrol the borders and enforce immigration law to stand down.

Can you?

You sound like the oft-suprised Dems.
They only thing he is straddling is a 50 state sweep in '04. Your rhetoric not withstanding.
