From the Daily Caller:
Two leading Republicans have dramatically quit the House’s “Gang of
Seven” immigration panel, likely dealing a crippling blow to President Barack
Obama’s top-priority effort to push through an immigration rewrite.
The two legislators blamed Obama’s practice of not enforcing
laws, including immigration enforcement laws.
“We have reached a tipping point and can no
longer continue working on a broad approach to immigration,” said
a statement from the two Texas Republicans, John Carter and Sam Johnson, who
were working with four Democratic legislators to craft a bill to increase
immigration.
“Instead of doing what’s right for America,
President Obama time and again has unilaterally disregarded the U.S.
Constitution, the letter of the law and bypassed the Congress — the body most
representative of the people — in order to advance his political agenda,” they
wrote.
“We will not tolerate it. Laws passed by Congress are
not merely suggestions, regardless of the current atmosphere. … Laws are to be
respected and followed by all — particularly by the Commander-in-Chief,” said
the statement. . . . . . read the full article here.
