DES MOINES – Republican candidate for U.S. Senate, Joni Ernst, issued the following statement regarding President Barack Obama possibly taking executive action on immigration:
Joni Ernst
Barack Obama came to Washington on the promise of hope and change. Instead, he has governed with divisive arrogance, and a ‘my way or the highway’ attitude.”I strongly urge the President not to sidestep Congress by granting executive amnesty. By acting alone, he will only be encouraging more illegal immigration, and worsening the existing crisis on our border. His actions would also punish the millions of people, around the world, who are waiting in line and trying to come to this country legally. What is even more outrageous for Iowans is that Bruce Braley voted to allow the President to grant executive amnesty.
“We all know that Washington is broken and out of touch. What is most alarming is that instead of fighting to change Washington, Bruce Braley is rubberstamping it. When I’m in the Senate, I will fight every day to change the direction Washington is taking out country, and replace Washington values with proven Iowa common sense.”
What she says is true.
