I rise in strong opposition to H.R. 5759. the socalled Executive Amnesty Prevention Act of 2014. Let me start by saying that I applaud our President for taking bold action to keep families together. He acted where this Congress has failed to act. A bipartisan. comprehensive immigration reform bill was passed in the Senate more than 500 days ago. Yet Republican leadership in the House failed to bring the bill up for a vote in the House. And so as a result. our President took responsibility to stop the suffering of millions of mixedstatus families who have lived for years in fear and uncertainty.
