Mr. MARCHANT. Mr. Speaker, we must fight to defund and reverse the president's unilateral amnesty.
Last summer, our nation experienced the consequences of the president's refusal to enforce the law. His unilateral actions enticed tens of thousands to unlawfully enter the country. According to the statistics, a vast majority of them remain in the U.S. today.
The president is now going around the legislative process again to grant amnesty to millions more. He wants hard-working American taxpayers to fund this disastrous plan. My constituents will not stand for it.
The president's unilateral amnesty must be completely defunded. Americans' tax dollars should be used to secure the border and keep this nation safe--not to reward those who have broken the law.
