I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. and I strongly support her amendment to H.R. 240. which prohibits Federal funding or resources from being used to adjudicate any new. renewal. or previously denied application for the Presidents Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. It is that simple. The Presidents DACA program. announced by the President and the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security on June 15. 2012. violates the laws Congress has written and is a usurpation of the plenary authority over immigration law that article I. section 8. clause 4 of the United States Constitution confers upon the legislative branch. For these reasons. I urge my colleagues to support the gentlewomans amendment to defund DACA.
