Today, Congressman Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S. (AZ-04) released the following statement after leading and submitting multiple appropriations language and programmatic requests this week to the House Appropriations Committee aimed at securing the border and defunding President Obama's executive actions granting amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants:
"The American people are sick and tired of a lawless executive branch acting unilaterally to enforce their misguided open borders agenda. Throughout the country, we are constantly witnessing the destructive consequences of these failed policies. Innocent children are being murdered by illegal aliens and a drug epidemic has infiltrated the country. I am proud to lead the charge to defund President Obama's executive amnesty actions and to secure the border.
"Additionally, I am pleased to have the support of so many of my House colleagues in demanding Congress start holding this administration accountable for it's shameful actions that are putting our communities at risk. This lawlessness has to stop."
