Why? Because he has the authority. His comments that have been repeated over and over again about his lack of authority were. yes. he does not have the authority to convey an immigration status. His executive actions are not on immigration status. They are simply keeping families from being torn apart and mothers and fathers and children from being deported. It is not an immigration status. It is a stay of deportation. And so the fuss that is being made impacts the TSA officer tragically shot in a Los Angeles airport. or New York or Houston or Dallas or Chicago or RaleighDurham. that TSA officer who stands on the front lines of our security and we look them in the eye and tell them they cannot be paid. You know. Mr. Speaker. when the shutdown happened before. it was Democrats who had to retroactively ensure that those workers were paid. We want border security? We wont be paying our Border Patrol agents or ICE agents. Even though it is suggested that fees will take care of it. there are 30.000 employees that the fees will not take care of. So I rise today pleading to have my friends acknowledge that. first of all. they are wrong on the executive actions. As we go to a hearing in Judiciary. I will be able to show that these individuals will probably be vetted more extensively than many others in the immigration process. Fourteen provisions have to be utilized before they can be eligible for the executive action the President has suggested. But what I am going to say.
