Yet today. Senate Democrats are currently united in opposing this bill. Recent polling shows that Americans overwhelmingly oppose the Presidents executive immigrations actions 58 to 36. I call on my Senate colleagues to support the Constitution and the rule of law and pass H.R. 240 as it was passed in the House. The Presidents amnesty scheme is not only illegal. it is patently unconstitutional. It creates a dangerous precedent where future Presidents can ignore laws they dont agree with and expand their own power beyond its legal boundaries. threatening the very liberty of the American people. Our constitutionally guaranteed liberties. our rule of law and economic opportunities are precisely the things that immigrants come to America to experience. Our Constitution. rule of law. and economic prosperity are precisely the things that we will be giving up if we allow the President to break our laws to give amnesty and work permits to those who are here illegally.
