I rise today in support of my amendment to freeze the Presidents Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. which was unlawfully created by executive memo on June 15. 2012. My amendment prohibits Federal funding. fees. or resources from being used to consider or adjudicate any new. renewal. or previously denied application for any alien requesting consideration for deferred action. Article I. section 8. clause 4 states that the Congress shall have power "to establish an uniform rule of naturalization"-Congress. not the Executive. President Obama has circumvented Congress and unilaterally rewritten immigration law from the Oval Office. A Federal judge in Pennsylvania said President Obamas amnesty is unconstitutional and that. number one. "Inaction by Congress does not make unconstitutional executive action constitutional". and. number two. "Executive action goes beyond prosecutorial discretion. It is legislation." That is the reason we bring the amendment.
