Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman from Texas
for yielding some of his time.

This bill is necessary to make sure that the negative effects
associated with the President's actions do not cause long-term damage to our
country.

As a new Member of Congress, I was sent to Washington to represent
the people of southeast Georgia against the numerous harmful actions
taken by the President and his administration.

From the time that I have been here, I have been shocked by the
actions of the President and the way he directly ignores the will of
the American people, statutory law, and, most importantly, the
Constitution of this country.

This bill makes sure that no funds will be used to implement the
President's executive order that allowed thousands of illegal
immigrants to stay in this country.

This bill also makes sure that no funds will go to implement any rule
or regulation that has been issued by the administration over the last
several years.

It is time to stand up to the President and say, no more. No more,
Mr. President. No more rewarding bad behavior. No more rules that
ignore the will of the American people. No more ignoring statutory law.
And most importantly, no more ignoring the Constitution of the United
States.

Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this bill.
