Only Congress has the power to write laws, and it is the President’s job to enforce them. Through his partisan, unilateral actions, he has further divided our nation and made it more difficult to address our immigration problems. Right now, we need the President to enforce our current laws and give additional resources to border patrol agencies. Further, he needs to allow local law enforcement and border patrol officials to do their jobs by enforcing the law instead of telling them what laws they can enforce and limiting their access to certain portions of the border. We have to secure borders before we can enact any immigration reform. Most of us agree our immigration system is broken. However, by issuing this executive order, President Obama is encouraging more people to enter the country illegally through our porous borders in the hopes of receiving future amnesty and taking advantage of a government that does not enforce its own laws. I look forward to working with members on both sides of the aisle to address immigration in an appropriate way that reflects the will of the American people, respects the rule of law, and represents the values of our Constitution." ### For information contact: Josh Miller | Communications Director, 202-225-2701, josh.miller@mail.house.gov Angie Gallant | District Press Secretary, 918-351-8700, angie.gallant@mail.house.gov | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
