No wonder Senator MCCONNELL referred to that as a cynical act by the President. This was a dramatic event which occurred over weekend. This executive amnesty would include work permits for millions of people who illegally entered the United States or have overstayed their visas and they are here unlawfully. It is a violation of a sovereign. constitutional law passed by the peoples representatives in the Congress. It wipes away the Immigration and Nationality Acts clear rules on who can enter the United States. who can work in the United States. and who can live in the United States. Dont we all agree that our Nation has a right to establish that? Shouldnt those rules and principles be established and followed? We are not against immigration. We have 1 million people come to our country every year legally. They apply. wait their time. and then they have the benefit of citizenship in America. We have one of the most generous immigration policies in the entire world. In addition to permanent immigration flows. we have a huge temporary guest worker program which allows people to come here and take jobs. The President wants to double the number of people who come here and take jobs. but the House has refused to do that. These rules are the bedrock of any Nations immigration policy and sovereignty. and in reality the President is actually and truly proposing to wipe away what amounts to the few immigration rules that are in effect. Through executive action. the President is proposing to repeal the lawful protections to which every American worker is entitled. His action would allow millions of illegal immigrants to instantly take precious jobs from struggling and unemployed American workers by the millions in every sector of the economy. These are not just agricultural and seasonal workers. Under the Presidents plan. these people who are given work authorization would be entitled to take any job.
