Mr. Speaker. I rise to discuss work in the House to secure our borders and address the Obama administrations unilateral actions on immigration. This week. the House will consider the 2015 Department of Homeland Security appropriations bill. which takes a number of steps to bolster border security and law enforcement efforts. To start. the legislation provides for the largest operational force levels in the history of the Customs and Border Protection agency. The measure also supports several critical border security initiatives. including aroundtheclock surveillance of air. land. and sea approaches to the border. Furthermore. the legislation boosts internal enforcement efforts and strengthens related domestic and international investigations. Finally. the legislation will provide for the amendments that will stop the Presidents executive actions on immigration. Mr. Speaker. the Presidents unilateral executive orders should be of concern to each and every Member of this body.
