The action taken by the President in November is a direct contradiction to his own statements. By acting unilaterally. ironically. the President is making it less likely that Congress will act to pass comprehensive reforms. He is undermining the efforts of those of us who favor immigration reform by diverting energy and attention from that goal. I urge my colleagues to give consideration to the proposed compromise that I filed as a substitute yesterday. It will ensure that the men and women on the front lines of the Department of Homeland Security can do their vitally important jobs. it will overturn the Presidents misuse of his Executive authority last November. and it will protect the legal status of children brought to this country by their parents years ago.
