Harry Reid to Obama: ‘Go Big’ on Executive Amnesty

Harry Reid, who is finishing up his term as Senate majority leader, has some words of advice for President Obama: “go big” on executive amnesty.

“I believe that when the President decides to do his executive order, he should go big — big as he can,” Reid told the press today.

Reid also told Obama to do it fast:

As for the timing, Reid said the President “should do something as quickly as he can.”

Reid then went on to make the argument that other presidents have done what President Obama is about to do. “Every president, since President Eisenhower, have done executive orders as it relates to immigration. Every president. Thirty-nine different times. Now Reagan, Bush and Bush, they’ve done it and we didn’t hear a single word come from the Republicans that they didn’t like that. So why now is this suddenly an issue with the Republicans?”
