Congressman ROBERT ADERHOLT. which would prevent the President from carrying out his plans for executive amnesty. Let me be clear: this is tough legislation which completely eliminates all funds for implementation of the Presidents illegal actions. The bill has the support of many leading voices in the immigration debate including my home State Senator. JEFF SESSIONS. Just as important. the legislation makes clear that no Federal benefits can be granted to any alien as a result of the policies defunded and also eliminates funds to consider new. renewal. or previouslydenied applications for executive amnesty. The legislation doesnt just defund the Presidents executive action. The legislation paves the way for stronger border security by increasing funds for border agents. detention beds. and enforcement activities. In order to halt illegal immigration in this country. we must stop encouraging illegal immigration by offering amnesty and instead put more attention on actually securing our borders. I wish this legislation wasnt necessary. I wish President Obama had listened to the American people and enforced our current laws instead of continuing his mywayorthehighway style of governing. instead. he moved ahead with action that clearly violates our Constitution and has poisoned the well for serious conversation on immigration reform. Madam Speaker. I must ask a simple question that has very serious consequences: When will it stop?
