Mr. Speaker. it seems the Republicans will do anything other than put a bill on the floor to pass immigration reform. So far. they have refused to allow for a vote on the bipartisan H.R. 15. they are threatening another government shutdown. and they suggest impeaching the President for doing what is right. When they did put a bill on the floor. it was to repeal DACA. It has been more than a year and a half of refusing to allow a vote on H.R. 15. even though. if it were on the floor today. it would pass. Instead. we have this bill to undo the Presidents executive action. a step he wouldnt have had to take had Congress done its job. This is just another distraction when what we need are real solutions. There are real families at stake who need real immigration reform. American businesses need it. Our communities need it. If Republicans are unhappy that the President acted. there is still an option for themlegislative. Join us in crafting and voting on a bill that will fix our broken immigration system.
