Sam Graves Statement On House Action To Stop The President's Executive Order On Immigration

Statement

Date: Jan. 14, 2015
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Executive Branch Immigration

U.S. Congressman Sam Graves made the following statement after voting in favor of H.R. 240, the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, which stops President Obama's executive amnesty order.

"The American people spoke loud and clear this past November in opposition to the President's executive amnesty," said Rep. Graves. "Today, the House took action to fully defund the President's executive order on immigration," he continued. "The President's actions not only reward those who cheated the system and punish those who went through the legal immigration process, but are also a blatant disregard for the constitution."

"We are a nation of laws and no one is above the rule of law -- not even the President. The President should enforce the laws currently on the books and work with Congress to strengthen the defense of our borders."
