Faced with unilateral, unyielding inaction on behalf of Republican Leadership, President Obama used his constitutional authority to ensure our immigration enforcement is fair and just. While I commend the President on his decision, his executive action is not a substitute for the comprehensive immigration reform demanded by the majority of the American people. I will continue to call on House Republicans to allow a vote on the bipartisan immigration bill that will keep hard-working families together, fix our badly broken deportation system, strengthen border security and support our businesses.\u201d  \n\t\u00a0  \n\t###\nFor Immediate Release:  \n\tNovember 20, 2014  \n\t\u00a0  Contact:  \n\tEmily Kaufman (617) 332-3333  \n\tDan Black (202) 225-5931 Follow Congressman Kennedy on Instagram, Facebook, and\u00a0Twitter.", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["http://kennedy.house.gov//media/press-releases/congressman-kennedy-statement-on-presidents-executive-action"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.5201480127871037, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
