In the past, President Obama has been adamant that he won’t use executive action on immigration reform. To cite just one example, he said in 2010 in an Univision interview:
I am president, I am not king. I can’t do these things just by myself. We have a system of government that requires the Congress to work with the Executive Branch to make it happen. I’m committed to making it happen, but I’ve gotta have some partners to do it.
Tonight, he’s expected to announce that he will take executive action on immigration. In the video above, the Republican National Committee assembles some of his past soundbites assuring Americans he wouldn’t take that step.
