Obama Crossed 'Dangerous Threshold' with Amnesty
President Barack Obama crossed a "dangerous threshold" when he bypassed Congress and acted unilaterally with an executive order on immigration, Sen. Ted Cruz told "Fox & Friends."
Cruz said Obama had a "very strange view of how our constitutional system works" when he "demands the policy he wants, and if Congress disagrees with him, he says 'Well, I'm going to enact it anyway,'" despite the will of the voters, who "spoke overwhelmingly" against illegal amnesty in the midterm elections.
"It was an historic tidal wave. And, what does the president do immediately after the election? He responds with anger, with defiance, and says, 'I don't care what the American people say. Even though my policies were on the ballot all across the country, even though the voters said no to amnesty, I'm going to decree anyway,'" the Texas Republican said Monday.
