Uh-oh.....once again we see J Taliban moving the goalposts. First it was a snarky "don't you know how to Google". So just for the pure enjoyment of it, I copy & paste the exact Google definition which only went to prove me right and now J Taliban has to deny the very definition he originally wanted.I think the point here is more, how exactly is any action that Obama has taken on the border construed to be treason? Are we at war with Mexico? Can you point to a single person identified as an enemy of the state that he has directly aided or provided comfort to? Did you not check the definition of treason before you made that claim? Or did you perhaps forget that people can look up the literal definition of treason with about 5 seconds and Google? (spoilers: it doesn't apply)
So a person can only be guilty of treason if their nation is at war?
trea·son
ˈtrēzən/
noun
Barry Soetoro is facilitating the invasion of the United States by citizens of another country. If that is not treason - what in the hell is in your limited little mind?!?
- the crime of betraying one's country, especially by attempting to kill the sovereign or overthrow the government.
(Spoiler: you're an idiot and thus it would be very wise for you to refrain from commenting until an adult explains the subject matter to you).Someone beat me to it. But no, someone can only be guilty of treason if the person being aided is a defined enemy of the United States."Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort."

1) We are not at war with Mexico, therefore Mexico is not our enemy.
2) Some illegal immigrants are criminals, but unless they are recognized enemies of the state, they are not criminals either. (Is the president guilty of treason every time he passes a pardon or makes a statement in favor of prison reform? That is 100% aid to convicted criminals.)
3) If some of the people in the group being aided being criminal constituted treason, then EVERY SINGLE PERSON EVER INVOLVED in foreign aid is guilty of it. Do you honestly think any of the countries the US provides aid to have a crime rate of zero?
The law doesn't just mean whatever you want it to. Could you please jump on any of the more legitimate reasons to hate on Obama? Here, let me help kick off your rehab. The Obameter: Campaign Promises that are Promise Broken | PolitiFact
