I think he was very sincere when he gave that oath, and I think that Vice President Pence was even more sincere when he gave his oath. It was very moving to me to witness that testimony out here on the west portico of the Capitol. I want to remind the administration that this action continues, at least as far as the report is concerned; and United States Citizenship and Immigration Services may just need a memo from the White House to cease and desist the unconstitutional actions taking place at USCIS-- very simple, very abrupt, and not very traumatic to anybody in this country--and then start the process of undoing the lawlessness that we have had to submit to under Barack Obama's regime. My strongest encouragement: the earlier that DACA and DAPA are addressed by this President in the keeping of his solemn oath--and that is to the American people--the easier it is going to be. I am encouraging that it happen early and that it not be delayed, because the problems created by Barack Obama are now being compounded by USCIS. I want to also, Mr. Speaker, speak in favor of accelerating the construction of this wall.
