Congress does not honor their oath of office when they simply don't enforce the law. That may not be illegal, but it is criminal.

Obama's Homeland Security Hobbles Local Immigration Enforcement

The Obama operatives at the Department of Homeland Security have pared back one of the most successful immigration-enforcement programs, known as 287(g).
DHS's Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has stripped the state and local law enforcement agencies in the popular program of the flexibility to design a customized, collaborative arrangement with immigration authorities.
The changes recently implemented force state and local police into a Washington-dictated, one-size-fits-all model. And these changes fly in the face of Congress's original intent for the 287(g) program. There was never any requirement that 287(g) cases involve only actions against "serious" criminals or even be limited to criminal aliens.
