| http://blackburn.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=397640 | Blackburn To Oppose House Funding Resolution | 2014-12-11 | 2014 | 2014-12 | Republican | House | TN | Marsha Blackburn | B001243 | blackburn.house.gov | legacy | Congressman Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) issued the following statement in opposition to the House Continuing Resolution, which fails to take the steps necessary to stop President Barack Obama’s executive actions to expand amnesty for illegal aliens.“Unfortunately, this spending package fails to take the necessary actions to defund the President’s lawless amnesty. As a result, I cannot vote in support of this measure. It is not fair that hard-working taxpayers in Tennessee will now have to compete for jobs with illegal aliens to whom the President is unilaterally granting work permits at a time when our workforce participation rate sits at a 36-year low and more than 90 million Americans are out of work. That is why I fought for and passed my bill in the House this summer to freeze the President’s unconstitutional Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. King Obama’s amnesty is turning America into a lawless open borders society.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
