Speech #1130112812

Mr. Speaker. my House Republican friends never cease to amaze me. Once again. House Republicans have turned control of their agenda to Senator Speaker TED CRUZ. The last time they did this. they shut the government down. and look at how that worked out for them. Some people never learn. Mr. Speaker. it is not enough that House Republicans. despite Speaker BOEHNERS promises of a more open House. continue to block consideration of comprehensive immigration reform. No. they need to go even further. Last night. after a lengthy meeting with Senator Speaker CRuz. House Republicans caved in a desperate and partisan way and produced an extreme bill that would prevent President Obama from building upon the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
