Lummis Votes against Executive Amnesty

Statement

Today U.S. Representative Cynthia Lummis voted against the clean Department of Homeland Security funding bill that funds the agency through September. In response to passage of the bill, Rep. Lummis issued the following statement:

"President Obama has said time and again, and again, and again that he could not act unilaterally on immigration, citing the separation of powers. Then last November suddenly and completely disregarding the Constitution, President Obama bypassed Congress and legislated by executive fiat, essentially granting amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants. This unconstitutional action must be addressed and what better place to address it than the DHS funding bill. Though now, with the disappointing passage of the bill, we must rely on the courts to hold the President's feet to the fire as one judge in Texas has already done while we find further means to fight this unconstitutional action."
