Mr. Speaker. our immigration system is broken. as evidenced by the fact that there are 11 million undocumented persons who are living in the United States. Instead of engaging in a bipartisan legislative process to reform the system. the House majority has decided to focus on discrediting the President rather than forming policies that benefit our country. There is ample evidence of Presidents long before this one having exercised the same executive order privilege without there having been any great rush by the House of Representatives to go to court to try to stop him. House Democrats would welcome the chance to work on a bipartisan solution to the Nations broken immigration system. but we cant because we simply are not allowed to participateonly to show up to vote. Mr. Speaker.
