Former President Bill Clinton has issued a statement of strong support for President Obama’s planned executive action on immigration — a somewhat curious stance, given the so-called bad blood that’s divided the two first families for years.
Mr. Clinton said that Mr. Obama stood on “pretty firm legal ground” on his executive plans for immigration, The Hill reported.
At a gala for The New Republic’s centennial celebration, Mr. Clinton said: “As far as I can tell, every president in the modern era has issued some executive action on immigration, so I imagine he’ll be on pretty firm legal ground.”
The show of support from Mr. Clinton comes just a few weeks after author Edward Klein pointed out in his book “Blood Feud: The Clintons vs. the Obamas,” that the two first families have been political enemies for some time.
