Garrett Stands with New Jersey Residents Against President Obama's Unconstitutional Amnesty

Statement

Rep. Scott Garrett (NJ-05), issued the following statement today after voting to end President Obama's unconstitutional executive amnesty:

"Over seven weeks ago, the House stood with the American people by voting to fully fund the Department of Homeland Security, and to put an immediate stop to President Obama's unconstitutional executive amnesty. It was my hope that Senate Democrats would stop performing political gymnastics and answer repeated calls from the House to come to Conference with this bill so we could work on a deal in the best interest of our constituents.

"I supported short-term funding extensions to continue these negotiations with the Senate in good faith, but I cannot ignore the will of my constituents by supporting a bill that allows President Obama's executive amnesty plan to continue unchecked. I stand with the people of New Jersey's Fifth District, law-abiding immigrants, and the Constitution of the United States, and I will continue to fight to undo the damage caused by President Obama's actions."
