Mike Pence on Executive Action Then
“I think it would be a profound mistake for the [President Obama] to overturn American immigration law with the stroke of a pen. I truly do. I believe that issues of this magnitude should always be resolved with the consent of the governed… Signing an executive order, giving a speech, barnstorming around the country defending that executive order is not leadership, the likes of which we practice every day. I would implore the president to reconsider this path and to demonstrate the kind of leadership that the American people long to see and that is that this administration would sit down with this newly minted Republican Congress and find genuine common ground, border security, there’s a series of piece by piece reforms that I believe could be advanced in this Congress that would be in the longterm interest of the American people.”
