I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker. everyone in Congress and most people in this country understand that our immigration system is broken and needs to be fixed. Our colleagues on the other side of the aisle have blocked a bipartisan Senate bill from coming to the floor. and President Obama has taken action that he is legally permitted and morally obligated to take. Executive orders are not unusual. Every President since President Eisenhower has used this authority to take action on immigration issues. including six Republican Presidents. So. Mr. Speaker. when the gentleman from Florida said voting against his bill is like voting against the Constitution.
