Ok, so I was listening to his speech on the way home and this stood out to me... Just now getting around to looking up the exact statement.

He was basically saying "Don't riot, elect politicians to make changes"

Here's the quote

quote:

The bottom line is, nothing of significance, nothing of benefit results from destructive acts. I've never seen a civil rights law, or a health care bill, or an immigration bill result because a car got burned. It happened because people vote.


So unless he is referring to some other "Immigration Bill", he is referring to his executive action, which is not a Bill.

And I have no doubt he was trying to take credit for passing an Immigration Bill as he tooted his own horn about the Healthcare Law just before.

Or maybe he's talking about influencing the next immigration bill.

Well...since his EO does violence to the Constitution, perhaps he should take his own advice.

So he threw out historical Bills and then a future Bill? Seems a little odd

And if he's planning on a future Immigration Bill, why the need for the EO?
