Wagner Statement on United States v. Texas Decision

Statement

Today, Congresswoman Ann Wagner (R-MO-02) released the following statement after the Supreme Court ruled against President Obama's plan to implement executive amnesty, which would grant legal status to an estimated four million illegal immigrants:

"Today, the Constitution won. The Supreme Court's decision reaffirms the vision of the Founders that the Congress makes law, not the President. For nearly 300 years, our democracy has represented the People, and President Obama's plan for executive amnesty not only threatened our nation's security and economic opportunity, but undermined the spirit of self-governance for which our nation was founded.

"Over the past several decades, it has become clear that our immigration system is broken and we must find meaningful solutions to secure our borders and fix the de-facto amnesty we see today. The solution to this issue will be solved only when the President enforces existing law and works with the elected members of Congress. I am pleased the Supreme Court today reminded the President there are three branches of government and he cannot legislate on his own."
