   During President Clinton's tenure as President, the nation was ready and willing to call for his impeachment based on… his sexual indiscretions. I feel this was his and Hilary's personal business. Monica Lewinsky was an intern; couldn't she emphatically have said "NO!" Okay, water over the dam.

   President Obama, however, is on the precipice of destroying the best of our nation.

   I have my copy of the US Constitution and its amendments. In Article 4, Section 4 (The States, Republican government), it states: "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence."

   We ARE being invaded! Having citizens of Mexico immigrate to the United States is illegal, however, the gray area showed that these people were working at jobs that Americans (potentially) would be unwilling to undertake. Times have changed, and the terrorist threat is ever present. With the influx of people illegally migrating to the United States from numbers of countries, many that are willing to support those who may commit attacks against our country, jeopardizing our people, our way of life, where is Obama? Is he "Present?" I cannot understand his attitude toward what is happening on the Mexican border, let alone a myriad of other issues. He is behaving with such leniency and what may be perceived as a very careless attitude.

   Thus, referring back to the Article of the Constitution, to which I referred above, I cannot that no one is courageous enough to step up to the plate and offer this as a consideration.

   I have referred to him as a "Pied Piper" from the beginning, when so many were increasingly mesmerized by his rhetoric. Just recently, I have (finally) seen that some publications also have referred to him as such.

     It’s very, very important to read the U.S. Constitution very, very carefully.

     I will not respond to your rhetoric or political viewpoint, only to say that immigration to the United States– even immigration from the country of Mexico– is not illegal. The term “illegal immigration” refers to immigration of those who choose not to abide by our country’s bureaucratic system; if you’d like to lump every immigrant from Mexico into that category, that is your own business and I doubt I could say much to dissuade you.

     But back to the Constitution. You allegedly use a section of Article 4 as support for your argument, that argument being: “The Constitution guarantees that citizens will not be subject to invasion; the country is being invaded by Mexicans; therefore, our country’s leaders (specifically President Obama) are not upholding the tenets of the Constitution.”

     Okay.

     Notice the language you cite. Such application for relief (in your case, relief from being personally invaded by Mexicans) would originate in the Office of the Executive in an instance where the U.S. Legislature could not be convened. The U.S. Legislature can be convened. I’m pretty sure there are some Republicans in the U.S. Legislature. I don’t believe any Republicans in Congress are shy or uncourageous, I just point out that the responsibility (as you would have it) for creating Anti-Immigration legislation does not lie solely with the country’s President.

     Hopefully, you will soon be able to enjoy very strict curtailing of immigration rights, similar to the ones President Bush employed during eight years in office…(?)

     Notice in that sentence
