That is a
process that we do here. But the amendments that I offered before the Rules Committee, all
four of them, every single one of them was turned down, even a couple
of them that I offered last year that were debated here on the floor. The first one was an amendment, and it is this: ensuring that no
funds under
the NDAA would be used to enlist DACA aliens--Deferred Action for
Childhood Arrivals was how President Obama listed it--to ensure that no
funds will be used to enlist illegal aliens into our military,
including our DACA personnel, into the United States military when they
only consider them through the MAVNI program, which is to try to find
special skill sets that aren't available in the United States. That is
what the MAVNI program is about. But President Obama, I will say, distorted that program, Mr. Speaker,
and he began to push the DACA recipients through there. Well, DACA is
unconstitutional. The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, as he
named it, is unconstitutional. President Obama, 22 times, told the
world that he didn't have the constitutional authority to grant amnesty
to people who came into America, at least allegedly, before they were
18 years old--22 times.
