The White House said today that President Obama will be announcing his Executive Order on immigration tomorrow. Republicans haven’t even seen the details and they’re already issuing threats.
Below is a statement from Pili Tobar, DNC Director of Hispanic Media:
“The President hasn’t even announced his executive order on immigration and Republicans are already hyperventilating – screaming amnesty, threatening to shut down the government, hold up confirmation of nominees during the 114th Congress and even impeachment.
“Rather than threatening to hurt our country and the American people, Republicans should stop sitting on their hands, do their job, and pass a comprehensive immigration bill. Republicans’ failure to act is the real amnesty, and the President is taking bold action to get the ball rolling since they won’t. Now it’s time for them to step up and work with him to pass permanent commonsense reform.”
Obama should just go ahead and do all that he can do as the president – damn whatever the Republicans might have to say about it… Nothing that this president can do will please any Republican that I know of. The Texas Senators – Cornyn and Cruz are the first ones I think of when I say “damn whatever the Republicans might have to say”….
