More Illegal Immigrants Under Executive Order

The Washington Times says a new State Department and Department of Homeland Security Program will fly immigrant children from Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador to their parents in the U.S. for free. Any permanent US resident, parolee or illegal immigrant granted or in the process of being granted a work permit under President Barack Obama’s executive order or his deferred action policy, who have children under age 21 living in Honduras, Guatemala or El Salvador can apply for the program. If the application is approved, the child will be granted special refugee status and flown to the U.S. to receive “resettlement assistance” and will be eligible for taxpayer benefits. If the child has children of their own under 21 they can come into the U.S. too, along with parents of the child who is married to the applicant.
The program was created in response to a surge of unaccompanied Central American children making the perilous trek to illegally cross the U.S. border that began last summer.
I may be a little dense, but I don't see that the surge of unaccompanied Central American children across the border last summer, gives any justification for bringing in more children at taxpayer expense.
In addition, what has the Department of Homeland Security got to do with bringing in more illegal immigrant children from Central America. I suspect that since it's all on the taxpayer dime, the State Department had to tie in with the Department of Homeland Security to get sufficient obtuse funding for the program.
Finally, the federal government, through Article I, Section 8, Clause 4 of the Constitution,does have the power to control immigration and the vesting of citizenship in aliens (naturalization). Congressional laws passed in this regard are constitutional and the application is the responsibility of the Executive Branch (Obama Administration). If the Executive Branch is not properly enforcing the laws passed by Congress, it is Congress's responsibility to either modify the laws making it more clear concerning the President's responsibility. If the president is then not properly enforcing the laws, it is Congress's responsibility to impeach him. This is equivalent to a Chief Executive Officer in a corporation following the requirements of its Board of Directors. If the CEO is a maverick, he is discharged.
Look at the attachment for all federal government responsibilities according to the Constitution and Amendments.
