Stop making things up. You are confusing what the legal argument is. Nobody is saying about about "choosing to not execute laws". Do I really have to google this for you?
"As the Supreme Court explained in Arizona v. United States, “a principal feature of the removal system [used to remove immigrants from the country] is the broad discretion exercised by immigration officials.” When confronted with an immigration who is eligible for deportation, executive branch officials still must decide “as an initial matter, must decide whether it makes sense to pursue removal at all.”"
It's just not true that not deporting somebody is not executing laws. It's legally accepted in the canon to do just this.
