Speech #1140086358

Mr. Speaker. yesterday the State of Texas argued before the Supreme Court that the Presidents executive amnesty violates Federal immigration laws and the separation of powers enshrined in the Constitution. The Constitution is clear: Congress has the sole power to write laws. including immigration laws. and the President must faithfully execute the laws. whether he agrees with them or not. In fact. President Obama has said dozens of times that he doesnt have the power to unilaterally rewrite immigration laws. However. when the House of Representatives refused to approve the Presidents mass amnesty policies. he violated his own words and acted alone. The Supreme Court should uphold the rule of law and stop the Presidents unprecedented executive amnesty policies.
