Ted Deutch Issues Statement on President Obama's Immigration Accountability Executive Orders | 2014-11-20 | 2014 | 2014-11 | Democrat | House | FL | Ted Deutch | D000610 | teddeutch.house.gov | legacy | Congressman Ted Deutch (FL-21), a senior member of the House Judiciary Committee, issued this statement regarding President Obama's Immigration Accountability Executive Actions."The Senate passed historic and bipartisan comprehensive immigration reform well over a year ago, only to have Speaker John Boehner deny the bill an up-or-down vote in the House of Representatives. This unprecedented obstructionism has left us with a broken immigration system that tears apart families and hinders our economy. "The commonsense steps announced tonight by President Obama fall within precedents established by previous presidents. While these bold actions will bolster border security and provide some temporary relief to millions of undocumented immigrants and their families, it is ultimately Congress that must finish the job. "Republican leaders in the House now have a choice. They can preserve the broken status quo and assail the President for taking action, or they can put families ahead of politics and our economy ahead of partisanship and finally pass comprehensive immigration reform." | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
