The Presidents actions to grant de facto amnesty has broadreaching consequences for many of my constituents and constituents all across the United States as well. It is unfair. It is not only unfair. it is irresponsible to divert resources away from legal applications of those who. as I said before. are patiently waiting and going through the legal process of immigration to give it to those who have broken the law. It is also reckless to reward those who have blatantly broken the law with work permits. allowing them to compete directly with those Americans and those American families who are hurting because they are out of work today and are finding themselves in a hard position to find work. So because of this. Mr. Speaker. I call on our Senators who are blocking a vote on the bill: do not turn your backs on the millions of Americans who are struggling to find work. do not turn your back on those who have immigrated here legally. and do not turn your back on those who are still waiting to try to immigrate into this country legally as well. It is time. Mr.
