Remember, we’re talking about kids whose parents brought them to this country illegally who then went on to be law-abiding normal American young adults. The president is giving them a break. Smell the tyranny:
Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio said it’s “a short term answer to a long term problem,” and House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Peter King told The Daily Caller his committee is “launching an immediate review” of the administration’s activities. South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham called the action “possibly illegal.”
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Lamar Smith called the Obama administration’s plan a “breach of faith with the American people” that “blatantly ignores the rule of law that is the foundation of our democracy.”
Wisconsin Republican Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner, the former chairman of the House Judiciary Committee and current chairman of that committee’s subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism and Homeland Security, said the administration’s announcement was a “political calculation” Obama made during an election year in “an effort to appeal to some voters.”
Sensenbrenner added that he thinks the announcement is “offensive to the millions of Americans still out of work.”
“It rewards law-breaking,” Sensenbrenner said. “And it’s deeply unfair to those who came to this country legally.”
Are you offended that these kids will no longer be punished for their parents’ decisions?
