Tom Carper Supports GOP Protest Over Executive Action on Immigration
I should never be surprised. I should just assume that Carper agrees with the Republicans on any given issue. And yet, he continues to surprise me.
Democrats say they want the opportunity to work out the immigration issue in the Congress.
But Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.), the chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, which has jurisdiction of the immigration enforcement agencies that would be affected, said Obama should wait until next year.
“If I were the president, what I’d say to the Congress — House, Senate, Democrat or Republican — I’m going to give you a little bit of time and in the new Congress expect you to do something,” he said.
Carper said Obama should set a deadline for congressional action on immigration reform early next year and issue an executive order easing deportations if lawmakers fail to meet it.
I have to wonder if he supports shutting down the government in the event of executive action on immigration. If he does, I’m sure the Republicans will “reciprocate” and it will be the vote that ushers in an era of bipartisan peace and prosperity.
Loretta Lynch confirmation is a factor.

There are millions of good reasons to be a chickeshit Democrat and Tom Carper knows all of them.
“If I were president……” And what party would that be in?
You want a deadline Carper?
Friday. Get it done. You fucker. This immigration shit has been around for YEARS and you did WHAT? Not a god-damned thing.
So. Fuck. You.
Fuck you, we the GOP do not want his dumb ass. You voted for him, we did not. Keep your own trash asshole.
The Lynch nomination? Are you suggesting he traded an environmental risk for a vote on a nominee? If so, he’s the Ruben Amaro of the Senate.
Who was the republican’t that ran against him this past time? Who?
Exactly
BTW – Check out the reason Carper gives the reason for siding with the GOP on this issue.
Fucking unbelievable. The GOP is just longing to cooperate and start allowing their sanity and humanity to shine through. The President just needs to chill out and let them. They just need to settle in a little bit and – Lo, I say unto you…a new golden age of bipartisan cooperation will dawn in Congress.
The guy is either mentally retarded or a lying sociopath. And I know he isn’t mentally retarded.
Rachel nails it.

I don’t think Carpers vote for Mary Lynch is a given.
