Chair. I will vote in favor of H.R. 240 and the amendments thereto. because the bill meets our nations security needs while also maintaining fiscal discipline. H.R. 240 prioritizes funding for border security at a time when it is badly needed and also checks the Presidents executive overreach. This bill holds the President accountable for exceeding his constitutional authority and upholds the rule of law. Though I am opposed to the Presidents executive actions on immigration. I am committed to fixing our broken immigration system. The Constitution authorizes the legislature. not the executive. to reform our immigration laws. and that is why I will continue working with my colleagues to secure our borders and fix our legal immigration system. Rather than trying to go around Congress. I would encourage the President to work with Congress to achieve real. lasting reform.
