Hank Johnson, D-Ga., compares Obama's executive amnesty to Emancipation Proclamation

During a media gathering on President Obama's plan to grant executive amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants, Rep. Hank Johnson, the Georgia Democrat who once wondered if Guam would tip over from overpopulation, compared the plan to the Emancipation Proclamation, the Daily Caller reported Thursday. According to Bloomberg's Dave Weigel, Johnson also "speculated about which of its defenders would star in a movie adaptation of the struggle."
But the comparison is hardly fitting, since the Emancipation Proclamation -- signed nearly 152 years ago by the nation's first Republican president -- did not free all the slaves, but only those in the Confederacy. Moreover, Johnson's claim falsely assumes that illegal immigrants are bought and sold the same way slaves were in the years prior to the Civil War.
Johnson was not the only Democrat to make an over-the-top statement at the meeting, Alex Griswold said. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, the Texas Democrat once dubbed the 'Congressional boss from Hell," said, “We will circle the president on fire. We will be on fire for rightness and justice.”
Democrats, Weigel said, did all they could to encourage Obama to "go big" on amnesty. Republicans, meanwhile, had nothing new to add.
