Speaking this morning to talk radio host Laura Ingraham, Florida
congressman Allen West, a Republican, blasted President Obama's
immigration plan to use prosecutorial discretion not to go after young
immigrants who came to the United States illegally. Obama announced his
new immigration plan on Friday.
"What country did we wake up in on Friday?," West asked. "It just
causes people to ask, where are we? You know, the last time we had this
was with King George III, and we didn't like it too much.
And I think
that you’re seeing the resurrection of an imperial presidency, and the
arrogance thereof.
To think that you can come out and basically tell the
American people that this is what we're going to do ... and don't
question me."
The big hold up for West seems to be Obama's decision to bypass
Congress and the law of the land.
"America is not about ruling by verbal
edict or just whims; the president has been elected to enforce the laws
of this country. And he doesn't get to pick which laws he likes or
dislikes. And I find it very perplexing and ironic that when he had
control of the House and Senate, this did not seem like a very important
issue."
