There is no doubt our immigration system is broken, but unilateral and unconstitutional action by the President cannot be the way forward. We are a nation of laws, but President Obama’s plan would reward people who came here illegally. I will keep fighting to curb President Obama’s continued executive power grabs and remind him that he cannot govern through executive actions with his pen and phone.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
