Congressman Steve King released the following statement after submitting his amendment to the omnibus spending bill to defund executive amnesty: It is the obligition of Congress to restore its Article I Constitutional authority and the balance of power, said King. This omnibus is the best opportunity to support and defend our Constitutional authority. My amendment defunds all of the President's illegal and unconstitutional actions regarding immigration. Beginning with the Morton Memos and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), and covering all of his most recent illegal and unconstitutional acts to expand DACA to 5 million more illegal immigrants. Further, I submitted my language that passed the House floor earlier this year that defunds sanctuary cities. Sanctuary cities shelter criminal aliens that regularly victimize citizens with impunity while being protected by city and state officials. It is time to restore the Rule of Law and put an end to these crimes. This is the second of nine amendments that I submitted to make the Omnibus spending bill a bill that fulfills the promises we all made to our constituents in 2014 and restores Article I Constitutional authority to the United States Congress.
