Told ya Obama's decision to delay the Obamacare Employer Mandate would damage his amnesty drive!
It may go down as one of the biggest political blunders of all time!
Rep. Tom Cotton, a first-term Republican from Arkansas, stated it more painstakingly today in an opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal. Bloomberg’s Greg Giroux notes that the party has huge hopes for Cotton, a Harvard University and Harvard Law School graduate who has served in Iraq and Afghanistan — party fundraisers want to run him against Democratic Sen. Mark Pryor next year.
“What’s to stop President Obama from refusing to enforce this law?” Cotton writes of the immigration bill. “After all, he just announced he won’t enforce ObamaCare’s employer mandate because of complaints from big business. It that’s his attitude toward his biggest legislative accomplishment, imagine what he’ll do when big business complains about, say, an employment-verification system (in the bill aimed at preventing the hiring of the undocumented) he never wanted to begin with.”
Cotton reportedly stood in that Republican caucus yesterday and said the same thing the headline on his Journal essay says: “It’s the House Bill or Nothing on Immigration.” That means a bill focused on border security.
