H.R. 5759, the Preventing Executive Overreach on Immigration Act of 2014, is another political ploy taking direct aim at the President\u2019s legal executive action to protect millions of hard-working, law-abiding students and families that live in our country. \u00a0\nHouse Republicans should re-focus their energy on passing comprehensive immigration reform that secures our border, protects our workers, unites our families and provides an earned pathway to citizenship.\nLet there be no mistake, the President\u2019s executive action is only a temporary fix. The only permanent solution lies with Congress. \u00a0I stand ready to work with House Republicans when they stop playing games with the lives of immigrant families and come up with a feasible permanent solution to fix our broken immigration system.\u201d", 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://veasey.house.gov//media-center/press-releases/rep-veasey-votes-against-harmful-republican-anti-immigrant-bill"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.020799158141017, "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"}
