Speech #1130114636

The President cannot give work authorizationas he and his people have said he intends to doto people unlawfully in America. The law says they are not eligible to work in America. and they are not eligible to be hired in America. The President cannot say. as he has already done for the young people through the DACA program: You are authorized to work. They are now talking about 5 to 6 million more people. One article correctly said there were 10 times as many adultsmany of them presumably have entered the country illegally only recently. I think we have to understand what is going on. and we need to challenge our colleagues to stand up and be countedcounted with regard to the legitimate authority of Congress. which has passed laws of this country that are due to be executed and carried out faithfully by the President of the United States. He is not authorized to just not enforce the law and not utilize the ICE officers and Border Patrol officers and block them from doing their work. The ICE officers have even sued the Administration. the head of DHS and the ICE director. because they have been blocked from following their oath to enforce the laws of the United States. No wonder this is an important issue. No wonder the American peoples interest is rising on this issue. and they have every right to do so. Well. I am going to explain why this amnesty is unlawful. how it will hurt the American worker. and how it will eviscerate any hope of ever establishing a lawful immigration system in the future if it goes forward. First. lets look at recent events. The President stated at the NATO conference a few days ago that he will give legal status to persons who are unlawfully here by utilizing Executive orders.
