Chris Stewart (R-Utah) released the following statement ahead of President Obama’s immigration speech. President Obama is expected to issue an executive order tonight on immigration. "A presidential executive order on immigration clearly goes against the powers outlined in the Constitution. As the Constitution states, it’s Congress’ responsibility is "to establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization”. Like most Utahns, I recognize that our immigration system is broken and must be reformed, but the President's use of executive orders and a call for amnesty isn’t the answer. Not only are his actions unconstitutional, but it goes against the will of the people and of Congress. If the president wants to reform immigration it must happen through the proper channels within Congress." | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
