Mr. Speaker. that is what this debate is about here. This is about the DACA language that the President has introduced 2plus years ago. and I said then when we had Hill hearings before the Judiciary Committee and Janet NapolitanoI said that we will take you to court on this. this will be litigated. It will be litigated because the President does not have legislative authority. He is only the President of the United States. If the President wants to somehow grant amnesty to one person. he has some prosecutorial discretion to do that. but they argued in the Morton Memos. and they argued in the DACA memosseven times in the Morton Memoson an individual basis only. on an individual basis only. prosecutorial discretion on an individual basis only. They put it in there seven times because they knew they were wrong. and they knew it was going to be litigated. You dont do 700.000 people on an individual basis only.
