Mark Pocan (WI-02) tonight issued the following statement on the President\u2019s executive actions to protect nearly 5 million undocumented immigrants living in the United States:\n\u00a0\n\u201cI am proud the President has followed through on his promise to address our nation\u2019s broken immigration system,\u201d said Rep. Mark Pocan. \u201cHowever, I would have preferred Congress debate and pass the Senate\u2019s bipartisan comprehensive immigration reform bill.\u201c\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\u201cThe President is using his constitutional authority to make much needed progress on this important issue while House Republicans continue to allow our broken immigration system to fester,\u201d Rep. Pocan said. \u201cCongress still needs to act to permanently fix our nation\u2019s immigration laws. Speaker Boehner and Congressional Republicans must come to the negotiation table to reach a comprehensive and long-lasting solution.\u201c\u00a0\n\u00a0\n###", 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://pocan.house.gov//media-center/press-releases/pocan-statement-on-president-obama-s-immigration-executive-order"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.1710950639098883, "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"}
