Spicer: ‘Obviously Concerning’ that Gov. Malloy Won’t Follow Immigration Law
EXCERPT:
SPICER: "The idea that Governor Malloy would not want the law followed as enacted by Congress or the by Connecticut legislature in any fashion seems to be concerning. Whether you’re a governor, a mayor or the president, laws are passed in this country and we expect people and our lawmakers and our law enforcement agencies to follow and adhere to the laws as passed by the appropriate level of government. So it’s obviously concerning. I think — it’s troubling that that is the message that he would send to his people and to other governors. Because we are a nation of laws and I think that people need to understand that whether it’s the laws that he passes as the governor of Connecticut or the laws that are passed through Congress and signed by the president, there’s a reason our democracy works. It's because the people speak, our representatives at every level pass a law and the executive in that particular branch of government signs or vetoes it and we live by those rules."
