King Introduces "Defund Executive Amnesty Act"

Statement

Date: Jan. 8, 2015
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Executive Branch Immigration

Congressman Steve King released the following statement after introducing his Defund Executive Amnesty Act. This bill will defund all executive amnesty created by our current, lawless administration.

"My bill defunds all of the President's illegal and unconstitutional actions regarding immigration," said King. "Beginning with the Morton Memos and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), and covering all of his most recent illegal and unconstitutional acts to expand DACA to 5 million more illegal immigrants. To make sure President Obama doesn't attempt to find other ways to circumvent the Constitution, my bill also has a catch-all provision that bars any similar actions in the future and has language to make it clear illegal immigrants are not authorized to work in the United States. This preserves the Constitution, reinforces the separation of powers, and fulfills Republican promises to the American people in the 2014 election."
