Reed Demands Senators Talk with House on Presidents Amnesty

Statement

Earlier today on his weekly media call, Congressman Tom Reed expressed the need for a conversation between the House and the Senate. On Friday the House failed to pass a measure that would have called for the House and Senate to meet to iron out differences on Department of Homeland Security Funding.

"It is clear President Obama has overreached with his Executive Amnesty. In fact, 57% of the Senate, as demonstrated by the senators' own votes, agree with holding the President accountable on this point. However, it seems the Senate has chosen to ignore the will of the people and fund the very executive amnesty action the Senate itself opposes.

"The House has acted. Now all we are demanding is the Senate talk with the House on how our bodies bridge our differences in executing Congress' shared opposition to the President's unconstitutional amnesty orders. It is only fair this public conversation takes place in order for the American people to see where their representatives stand on the issue. Senate Democrats should not hide behind procedure to block this needed transparent conversation."
