I don't see actually how he can just choose to "not enforce" one aspect of the law, yet enforce another. It would be like a DA not prosecuting bank robbers for armed robber, but ticketing them for jay walking to their get away car.
Obama gets away with it so much because republicans are scared that the media will call them names if they really try to do something about it.
