If the President truly believed that this approach was in the best interest of the American people, he would not have waited until after the election to make this long-anticipated announcement. “I strongly oppose providing amnesty to those who have entered our country illegally. Border security, enforcement, and removal must be the first response to illegal immigration. President Obama’s failure to enforce our nation’s immigration laws has led us to where we are today and his decision to reward lawlessness with amnesty places additional undue burdens on the American people.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
