I have taken an oath of office to uphold our Constitution twice: the first time as an undercover officer in the CIA and. just last week. I took that oath again as I was sworn in as a Member of this body. This bill is about upholding our Constitution and protecting it from executive overreach. but we cant forget that immigration and legal immigrants are an asset to our Nation. not a liability. Everyone knows that our immigration system is broken and that executive action that incentivizes illegal immigration just makes it worse. We need a longterm solution that protects American workers and fosters economic growth. Our Nation has. for many decades. benefited from the "brain drain" from other countries. and we need to make sure that continues. I also want our Nation to benefit from a "hardworking drain." too. If you are going to be a productive member of our society. lets keep you here or get you here. but we must do it legally. There is a longterm solution to our immigration problems. I am ready to work with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle and with the President to find it.
