myself. but that s not how democracy works. this notion that somehow i can just change the laws unilaterally is just not true. there are laws on the books that i have to enforce. i know some people want me to bypass congress and change the laws on my own. that s not how our constitution is written. for me to simply through executive order ignore those congressional mandates, would not conform with my appropriate role as president. precisely because this is temporary, congress needs to act. steve: so there you have got the president of the united states at the time talking about how what he would eventually do couldn t do. now donald trump is being denounced for having congress to do the job that the president cannot. pete: that s where a lot of us have skepticism. what will congress actually do? they haven t been able to do it before. the words comprehensive immigration reform sounds great but there is devil in the details. if you don t secure the border first with a wall every
there are a number of business leaders. they want these people to be allowed to stay in the country. it s now in congress court. abby: you can t have both. you can t be in favor of the law of the land or rule of law and also have a heart and also have emotions. pete: i think you can be sympathetic to both. abby: you can but the narrative out there is you cannot. the question from the reporter how do you have heart in this? he says of course i have heater for the people. having a heart continue to have rules on the books. that ultimately creates real opportunities on this country. pete: have you hearts for all of your citizens that are here and want to see them all succeed and have the same opportunity. but, of course, reporters and commentators across the so-called mainstream media, some might say fake news media, they found another sinister motive. take a listen. we can there about the policy issues but there is cultural undertow this is
congress, this suspect to you now. i think where the real challenge is going to be is within the republican party. two different factions going on. some that say that are same pathetic. paul ryan siding with nancy pelosi on this one. pete: i love it when paul ryan swidz nancy pelosi. abby: how did l. that infighting go? how will that play out? pete: what do you think about this topic and emails and facebook posts have been pouring in. thomas on facebook says you caused this, mr. obama not working with congress but doing everything by executive order. don t blame trump for your shortcomings. what you ordered was unconstitutional. steve: that s what the attorney general said yesterday. meanwhile an email from linda, president trump did what was right and corrected an overreach made by mr. obama. real people, dreamers, my children are real people with dreams. congress has seemed to have foregotten that. abby: sounds like trump and obama want the same thing. immigration reform and protecti
