Santorum
Responds to President Obama's Immigration Edict
VERONA, PA - Former presidential candidate, former U.S. Senator, and
Chairman of Patriot Voices issued the following statement in response
to President Obama's executive action to provide amnesty to 5 million
illegal immigrants.
Rick Santorum said: "Tonight's announcement by the President is just
another in a long line of power-grabs by this Administration.
Despite saying as recently as one year ago that he was not the
'emperor' of the United States, this President simply does not believe
that the Executive is a co-equal branch of government. Time after
time, President Obama has ignored the rule of law, ignored the balance
of power between each branch of government, and ignored the will of the
American people. Today's executive order is a slap in the face of
the democratic process and every voter who came out in this past
November's election."
"We need an immigration policy that first and foremost stands for the
best interest of America and the American worker. President
Obama's executive order providing amnesty to millions of illegal
immigrants is the antithesis of this goal. At a time when
millions of Americans are struggling to find work and coping with
stagnant wages, the President has decided to allow an additional 5
million individuals to legally compete with the existing American labor
pool - diluting wages and opportunities for American workers
further. This decision flies in the face of basic principles of
supply-and-demand and any interest in the welfare of the American
worker," Santorum continued.
"I urge Speaker Boehner and incoming Majority Leader McConnell to use
any means available to stop this unconstitutional attack on our
liberty. President Obama's executive overreach must be stopped -
not just for the interest of the American worker, but for the interest
of our country's future," concluded Santorum.
