REP. CALVERT VOTES FOR RESOLUTION REJECTING SENATE AMNESTY BILL

Today Congressman Ken Calvert (R-Corona) voted in favor of a resolution passed by the GOP Conference that stated:

"Resolved, that the House Republican Conference disapproves of the Senate immigration bill."

"It's baffling how out-of-touch Senators are on the issue of illegal immigration," said Rep. Calvert. "This resolution is a clear signal that House Republicans will not vote for a bill that provides amnesty to those illegally in the United States. The American people have demanded that Congress secure the border and enforce the laws on the books. House Republicans are committed to building the fence, increasing the number of border patrol agents and requiring employment verification and not rewarding individuals whose first action was to break the law."
