SMITH of Texas. Madam Speaker, today President Trump delivered on
his promise to the American people. He said he would discontinue the
DACA immigration program, which allows hundreds of thousands of illegal
immigrants to stay in the country and receive work permits. By ending the unconstitutional DACA program, he has overturned the
last of President Obama's amnesty agenda and returned to the rule of
law. President Obama, a former constitutional law professor, said many
times that DACA was unconstitutional. Congress and the administration should strengthen our laws against
illegal immigration and ensure that our immigration policies put
unemployed Americans first. The U.S. labor participation rate is at a
40-year low. President Trump is right to discontinue the DACA program and let
Congress address immigration policies, including securing the border.
