She will wait no longer after today. The other thing I heard from our friends on the other side of the aislefrom Senator CRuzwas that somehow she is lawless because she supported something that every President since Dwight Eisenhower has supported. has asked their Attorney General to do. The Attorney General has looked at the legal issues surrounding the issuance of an Executive order regarding immigration. Every Attorney General since Eisenhowers administration has advised their President on these issues. The first George Bush. the second George Bush. Ronald Reaganwith every single one of these Presidents. there was some kind of Executive order issued involving immigrants. I know because we have Liberians in Minnesota who. because of unrest in their country. have been there for decades under an Executive order. something that sometimes Congress gets involved and sometimes the President reissues. But that is one example of a group of people who have been able to stay in our country legally. work in our hospitals. work in our industries. and raise their families in this country because of Executive orders. So to say that it is sometimes lawlesshow lawless for her to support this simple idea that a President can issue an Executive order. Of course. we can debate the merits of that. We can talk about the fact that of course we would rather have comprehensive immigration reform. That is why I voted it. Of course that would be better. so the President could just tear up his Executive action.
