Speech #1140082698

Mr. Speaker. today I rise to call on House Republicans to halt their proceedings to file an antiimmigrant amicus brief with the Supreme Court on behalf of the entire House of Representatives. The document in question hasnt even been made public. and the House of Representatives is trying to speak on behalf of the entire Chamber and our Nation without allowing us to even see the language. What will the brief say? Will the Court tell the House of Representatives to encourage tearing families apart by rounding up and deporting DREAMers? Will they advocate ending birthright citizenship and repealing part of the 14th Amendment? Will it call for building their big. beautiful. 50foottall wall along our southern border? Comprehensive immigration reform has historically been an issue that receives bipartisan support. and I welcome this discussion. We are here as a nation of immigrants. Lets work together to fix our broken immigration system.
