Former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy has argued that “impeachment was quite intentionally included by the Framers as the ultimate check against presidential lawlessness,” and former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin said on Tuesday that the illegal immigration issue was the “tipping point” for her in deciding that Obama needed to be impeached for a pattern of lawlessness.
Appearing on Fox News’ Hannity after she called for Obama’s impeachment in a Breitbart News op-ed, Palin said that Obama has already committed at least 25 impeachable offenses, including lying to the American people and fraud, especially on policies like Obamacare and the federal debt.
Palin said the illegal immigration crisis that Obama created issue hurts American workers of all backgrounds and noted that “a great awakening is due in this country.” She said impeachment can send a message to Obama that “he is not an imperial president and lawlessness will not be accepted by the American people.” Saying that protecting the Constitution is a “bipartisan issue,” Palin called on Congress to “do its job to halt an imperial presidency” and “halt the fundamental transformation of America.”
“Let’s get going on that,” she said.
Palin wrote a Tuesday op-ed for Breitbart News in which she said “enough is enough” with Obama’s lawlessness.
“It’s time to impeach; and on behalf of American workers and legal immigrants of all backgrounds, we should vehemently oppose any politician on the left or right who would hesitate in voting for articles of impeachment,” Palin wrote. “The many impeachable offenses of Barack Obama can no longer be ignored. If after all this he’s not impeachable, then no one is.”
Palin said that “because of Obama’s purposeful dereliction of duty an untold number of illegal immigrants will kick off their shoes and come on in, competing against Americans for our jobs and limited public services”:
The federal government is trillions of dollars in debt; many cities are on the verge of insolvency; our overrun healthcare system, police forces, social services, schools, and our unsustainably generous welfare-state programs are stretched to the max. We average Americans know that. So why has this issue been allowed to be turned upside down with our “leader” creating such unsafe conditions while at the same time obstructing any economic recovery by creating more dependents than he allows producers? His friendly wealthy bipartisan elite, who want cheap foreign labor and can afford for themselves the best “border security” money can buy in their own exclusive communities, do not care that Obama tapped us out.
As Breitbart News noted, “Palin argued that illegal immigration and Obama’s lawlessness hurt American workers– whether they are native-born Americans or legal immigrants.” Palin said to “have faith that average American workers – native-born and wonderful legal immigrants of all races, backgrounds, and political parties – do care because we’re the ones getting screwed as we’re forced to follow all our government’s rules while others are not required to do so.”
“Many now feel like strangers in their own land. It’s the American worker who is forced to deal with Obama’s latest crisis with our hard-earned tax dollars while middle class wages decrease, sustainable jobs get more scarce, and communities become unrecognizable and bankrupted due to Obama’s flood of illegal immigration,” she continued. “Who’s looking out for the American workers? Who has their backs? Who fights for them? We should.”
