Families. Mr. Speaker. are also hurting because they are waiting for other fellow family members to be able to join them here in this country through the legal immigration process. They are patiently going through all the processes that we have set up in this country to process it. and they are hurting as they wait for their family members to join them. As we come here to the floor today as Members of Congress. we understand that this government has to ensure that everyone plays by the rules. including this administration. As Members of Congress. we are obligated to uphold the Constitution. and that is exactly what this House has done by defunding the Presidents unconstitutional actions in which he granted amnesty. Added to that. he provided working permits to over 5 million illegal immigrants. thereby creating additional problems for those Americans who are out of work and creating additional problems for those Americans who are waiting for their fellow family members to come into this country through the legal immigration process. Mr. Speaker. the House has done its job.
