Immigration Activist Suggests Race May Be Why GOP Opposes Obama Executive Action — Then It Was Trey Gowdy’s Turn

Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) interrogated Marielena Hincapie, the executive director of the National Immigration Law Center, during a Tuesday House hearing on President Barack Obama’s executive action on immigration reform after she seemingly suggested race may be the basis behind the GOP’s opposition to the unilateral action.

“I could’ve sworn in response to a question you received… you suggested race is the basis for why we may have this constitutional perspective,” Gowdy said to Hincapie. “Did I understand you correctly?”

“I believe I was responding to the question about, is there an explanation about why…” Hincapie began before being cut off.

“Well let me offer another explanation to you, OK? Not a single Republican who is here right now has ever served under a Republican president — not one. So I hope I do live long enough to hold a Republican president to the exact same standard that I am holding this one. But for you to run to race as the explanation for why we hold the position that we do.”



Gowdy went on to note that Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) had a “very different perspective on recess appointments when there was a Texan in the White House” and Republicans “never accused him of geographic discrimination.”

“In fact — hell — for that matter, Sen. Obama had a different perspective on executive overreach than President Obama, and no one runs to race as an explanation for that. So I would just caution you to be careful when you try to import motives to people,” he added.

Gowdy later grilled Hincapie on the “limits of prosecutorial discretion” and other issues regarding Obama’s executive action on immigration. Watch the exchange below:

Talk about making stuff up as you go along!!!

It's clear that Obama violated immigration law when he granted amnesty. The American public knows this too.

The GOP should, after January, start sending individual bills up to him:  border security, e-verify, h1-b visas for highly skilled.  No comprehensive bills. If he vetoes what is sent up, let Obama know he killed immigration reform. And the public will know it too, because these measures are popular.
