Takeaways:
- Republicans display great shame for not passing their own immigration policy by stating, "Shame on us as Republicans for having a body that cannot generate a solution to an issue that is national security, its cultural and its economic."
- Angry Republicans called out Obama's immigration policy, calling his overreach, "even imperial..."
- Defending his policy, Obama stated, "Why would we prefer a system in which they're in the shadows, potentially taking advantage of living here but not contributing."
- With the angry Republican response, would this be the same if these were instead Democrats instead?
- Why exactly would Repubicans be calling Obama's "overreach" on immigration "Imperial?"
