State of the Union: Obama 'disses' fallen cop heroes while honoring lawbreaker
No widows or fatherless/motherless children of soldiers or cops seen with the First Lady
Obama perverts 'prosecutorial discretion' by inviting a deportable to sit in place of honor at #SOTU w/1st Lady
Following Obama's speech, the news media blasted conservative Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, for calling President Obama's special guest to State of the Union address a "deportable." Even some Republicans felt he should have been more diplomatic, but they noted that he was correct -- Ms. Zamora is by law eligible for deportation. "Obama perverts 'prosecutorial discretion' by inviting a deportable to sit in place of honor at #SOTU w/1st Lady," Rep. King tweeted. Zamora -- a university student who’s the beneficiary of a tuition-free program thanks to American taxpayers struggling to send their own children to college -- was displayed as an example of someone benefiting from Obama's questionable executive actions. His unilateral changing of the immigration laws passed by the U.S. Congress permits certain children who came to the United States as illegal aliens to stay in the U.S. without fear of federal law enforcement agents detaining them and bringing them before an immigration judge, according to former police investigator Donald Richmond, an African American cop who worked as an undercover narcotics officer for most of his career. "She wasn't a child or a woman; she is a trophy for Obama to display as if he personally paid for her benefits and tuition," Richmond said. However, Zamora isn't out of the woods just yet, according to a judge's decision last month. A U.S. District Court judge in Pennsylvania issued an opinion that President Obama's unilateral action on immigration -- which permits some illegal aliens to stay in the United States and work -- is unconstitutional. "President Obama's unilateral legislative action violates the separation of powers provided for in the Constitution as well as the Take Care Clause and is [therefore] unconstitutional," said Arthur J. Schwab.Read next: America at 250 - The State of The Union
