A MOST EYE-OPENING SPEECH AND ONE EVERYONE NEEDS TO READ. HERES JUST A SAMPLE: The President and the immigration lobbyists meeting secretly in the White House are trying to implement through executive action the same disastrous policies that were rejected by Congress through the House of Representatives. Once the public learned what was in the Senate amnesty and guest worker bill, they declared: no, no, no. So the President is conspiring to go around Congress, and what does Mr. Reid say—what does the Leader of our Senate say? He tells the President to “Go Real Big” and to bypass Congress with the biggest amnesty you can do. Majority Leader Reid has blocked this Senate from considering the House plan—legislation passed by the House and sitting at the desk—to stop the President from executing this unlawful act. He is determined, completely, to ensure this executive amnesty happens and to do whatever he can to do see that it does. The principles that govern our political system, separation of powers and public debate, are of no importance. But, colleagues, as we know, Reid only operates with the support of his Conference. We saw this vividly when I made a motion that would allow us to take action to stop the executive amnesty and every Senate Democrat except the junior Senator from West Virginia voted with the Majority Leader to enable the President to go forward with his unlawful amnesty decree. It’s unbelievable. And to this day, not one Senate Democrat has spoken up to support the House plan to stop the executive amnesty or demanded that Mr. Reid bring it up for a vote. Every member that supports Senator Reid is as much a supporter of President Obama’s unlawful amnesty as they would be if they were sitting in a room helping him sign the order. This is the time. It’s either stop it now, or it may be too late to stop him. And we need to vote on it, and people need to be held accountable. Every American needs to know where their Senator stands on the President’s unlawful assumption of power to violate plain law of the United States to carry out a political agenda he has that the American people reject. It’s just that simple. It’s about power and it’s about politics—it’s not about what’s best for America.
