Mr. Speaker. earlier this month. the American people sent a strong message to Washington. one that was apparently not received by the President. His latest threat to unilaterally grant amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants would not only serve as a massive abuse of power. but also make clear the unprecedented disconnect between this administration and our citizens. The American people deserve a government that can demonstrate both the ability and the commitment to enforcing our Nations laws. not a President who continually sidesteps Congress and the American people to advance an agenda which appeals exclusively to one side of the aisle. I urge the President to end the political ploys to go around the laws we have on the books and start working together toward an immigration system that is in the best interest of the U.S.-not one that endangers our citizens. even takes some of their lives and some of the lives of our law enforcement officers. but truly one that secures our borders. respects the rule of law. stops violent criminals at the border. and prevents future illegal immigration. I call on the President to work with Congress.
