After Obama announced his Amnesty plan via Executive Order last night, Senator Jeanne Shaheen sent out the following statement:
Our immigration system is broken and needs a comprehensive, permanent fix. The reform bill we passed in the Senate more than 18 months ago with strong bipartisan support was the best way to address this problem. It invested in border security, reformed our visa programs and provided a tough, practical plan to deal with the millions of undocumented immigrants who are already here in the United States.
It’s unfortunate that the House has refused to act on this bipartisan, comprehensive bill. If it were brought to the floor, I believe it would have the votes to pass. The House leadership should reconsider their opposition to this commonsense legislation while there is still time to pass this bill this year. Immigration reform is a national challenge that requires a long-term, comprehensive resolution by Congress.
Do morons like Shaheen ever stop and think that maybe Representatives in the House are actually listening to their constituents? Regardless of the reason the House hasn’t passed the Senate’s bill, that is how government is supposed to work. There are 3 branches of government for a reason. Apparently Shaheen believes that our country should be run like a Monarchy rather than a Constitutional Republic.
And before anyone in the peanut gallery says that ‘Reagan did it’, please read the following: No, Reagan did not offer Amnesty via lawless Executive Order.
