Saldafias qualifications. In fact I supported reporting her out of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee on November 12. 2014 with every other member of that committee. However. in the wake of the Presidents unilateral changes to our immigration policies through Executive actions. I cannot support her confirmation at this time. The head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement is responsible for enforcing Federal laws governing border control. customs. trade and immigration. But last month President Obama announced that he and his Cabinet do not intend to deport several million illegal immigrants. and I cannot vote for someone who will not enforce our laws. By circumventing Congress on immigration and instituting his will through Executive actions last month. President Obama is eroding the very foundation of our country and form of government. This sets a dangerous precedent where future Presidents can flout any law they happen to disagree with and alter the law without going through Congress.
