Boxer: Obama Doing the Right Thing with Amnesty ‘Because He Loves America’

“I thought they are the party of family values. Show me where that's true. Ripping families apart. I thought they're the party of economic prosperity. Show me how that's true when we know from study after study that one of the greatest things we can do for our economy and job creation is get people out of the shadows so they can go and buy a home and hold a good job. They can't or won't pass an immigration bill. They will not do their job ...

I never heard of a Republican complaining when President Eisenhower used his executive order power to help immigrants, when president Nixon did the same thing to protect immigrants, when president Ronald Reagan, their hero, protected immigrants, when George Bush Sr. protected immigrants, when George W. Bush protected immigrants. They all used their authority. Show me one Republican that stood up and said, ‘Oh, this is outrageous. Let’s impeach the president.’ 

But, it's President Obama and they're annoyed because he won twice. Sorry. Sorry. Wake up and smell the roses. He is the president. And he is doing the right thing for America because he loves America. And he understands that these are people who are going to help America move on to an era of greatness and keep going.”
