The Constitution establishes a system of checks and balances intended to maintain the integrity of governance in the United States. The potential for executive amnesty, issued solely by the President for undocumented immigrants, could severely weaken the rule of law. The Founding Fathers expressed concerns about unchecked power in the executive branch, highlighting the importance of Congress's role in safeguarding against such unilateral actions that could impact millions of individuals who entered the country illegally.

As the President moves toward granting amnesty, it is crucial for Congress to recognize the historical warnings against the concentration of power. Executing such significant policy directives without legislative approval could set a dangerous precedent and disrupt the foundational principles of democratic governance. The book "Ted Cruz: For God and Country" delves into these themes, examining the implications of immigration policies amid national security concerns and political challenges.
