Mr. Speaker. well. it has been quite an interesting couple of days coming back from Thanksgiving. and this morning. there was an interesting conference. what to do about a President who. for a number of years. a couple dozen of times or so. has made very clear he is not a king. he is not an emperor. he would rather not have to deal with Congress. Congress is a messy thing to deal with. but he cant just do what he wants regarding immigration without following the Constitution and that means. under the Constitution. article I. section 8. Congress has sole authority when it comes to issues like naturalization and immigration. Prior Congresses have passed laws and made it clear what it takes to become a United States citizen. Now. those laws need fixing. There is no question about that. and despite all of the rhetoric. our friends on the other side of the aisle. when they controlled the majority in the House. majority in the Senate. with President Obama in the White House. chose to absolutely do nothing about correcting immigration problems. securing the bordernot even amnesty. Why? Because they know. they see the polls. and the polls make very clear that the American public did not want any type of amnesty.
