Speaker. I rise to join my colleagues in urging that we reject this motion to concur in the Senate amendments. The Senate removed the Housepassed provisions that would prevent the President from acting unilaterally on immigration. The President said on twentytwo occasions that he lacked the authority to act unilaterally on amnesty. but that is exactly what he did. A vote against this motion is a vote for the rule of law. Yes. we are a nation of immigrants but we are also a nation of laws. Any changes to our immigration laws should be done legislatively. They should not be done unilaterally by the Administration. nor should they be changed by the courts. We have millions of Americans who are still looking for work.
