     A Republican state representative and legal immigrant slammed President Barack Obama’s immigration action tonight on “The Kelly File.”

Arizona state Rep. Steve Montenegro legally emigrated from El Salvador with his family at 5 years old. He called Obama’s action on immigration “a slap in the face to immigrants.”
“This is utter lawlessness. This is a phenomenal disregard for this country, for the laws of our country,” he said.
Montenegro said the plan is an “inflammatory action” that’s pinning Americans against Americans.
