David Strauss. formerly with the Solicitor Generals Office. Laurence Tribe. and even conservative professors like Eric Posner. Five days later. 135 immigration law professors echoed that conclusion and provided substantial constitutional. statutory. and regulatory authority for these actions. not to mention that the President himself was a professor of constitutional law. Finally. this measure. H.R. 5759. goes well beyond preventing the President from expanding deferred action for childhood arrivals or creating a program to protect the parents of U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents from deportation. It would not only prevent this President. but any future President from protecting discrete categories of individuals facing unique dangers and challenges. This means that no future administration would be able to parole in place the undocumented parents or spouses and children of military personnel and veterans. or facilitate enlistment in our armed services by American citizens who have undocumented family members. or grant deferred action to victims of a crime or serious forms of human trafficking. For these and other reasons. this legislation is opposed by many organizations that care about our immigration system and are working to protect the vulnerable among us. including the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. the AFLCIO. the Service Workers International Union. and the National Task Force to End Sexual and Domestic Violence Against Women. Lets think this through carefully. and I urge you to oppose this very dangerous antiimmigrant measure. Mr. Speaker.
