Kentucky Senator Rand Paul slammed Obama’s executive actions on immigration Friday, noting that throughout history when one individual gains too much power, “egregious” actions are often taken.
Paul specifically cited internment camps in America for Japanese people during the second world war.
“I care that too much power gets in one place,” Paul said in a speech in Lexington at the Kentucky Association of Counties conference.
“Why? Because there have been instances in our history where we allow power to gravitate to one person and that one person then makes decisions that really are egregious.” the Senator added.
“Think of what happened in World War II where they made the decision. The president issued an executive order. He said to Japanese people ‘we’re going to put you in a camp. We’re going to take away all your rights and liberties and we’re going to intern you in a camp.’” Paul continued, citing then-President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s executive order authorizing the internments.
