This resolution makes a political statement. one that represents the House majoritynot the entire House of Representatives or even the entire Congress. since a major part of it has been left out of this altogether. This resolution seeks to put this whole Chamber on record when there is significant. vocal. and strong opposition. In fact. 186 House Democrats. along with 39 Senate Democrats. have joined together for our own amicus brief in support of the Presidents executive actions. Not only were the Presidents actions constitutional. they are in line with decades of bipartisan action by Presidents on immigration itself. including action by President Ronald Reagan and President George H.W. Bush. This is a rarely seen ploy. seeking to file an amicus brief as the whole House. leaving out completely the voice of the minority.
