BREAKING: 33 Lawmakers Make Huge Stand Against Obama Over Border Crisis
Emergency shelters across states like Texas and Arizona are filling to the brim, as authorities are not allowed to deport these children and send them back to their families.
Former Alaskan Gov. Sarah Palin believes Obama put this program in place to create the current crisis in hopes of using it for political advantage.
There are 33 GOP lawmakers who have taken a stand against the DACA program, and are hoping the pressure they put on the president will force him to take action.
via Breitbart:
In response to the ongoing flood of unaccompanied immigrant minors illegally crossing the nation’s southern border, 33 Republican congressmen, lead by Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA), are pressing Obama to roll back policies and perceptions that they say have helped spur the onslaught.Awesome. It’s great to see House Republicans continuing to stand up against President Obama and attempt to hold him accountable for his actions.
“As our country faces an unprecedented surge in the arrival of unaccompanied alien children (UACs) at our southwestern border, we call on you to immediately end the failed policies that encourage young individuals to put themselves in peril, leave their home countries, and make a long and dangerous journey to enter our country illegally,” they wrote Wednesday in a letter to Obama.
Since October, more than 52,000 unaccompanied minors have been detained illegally crossing the southern border — many telling Border Patrol agents that they came because they believe they will be able to stay.
According to the GOP congressmen, the president must take the crisis on by first ending the DACA program — which shields certain illegal immigrants from deportation and allows them to live and work in the U.S. — “to send a clear signal to all individuals that our immigration laws will be enforced.”
Further, they call on Obama to “make an explicit public commitment that you will not support legislation that extends legal status to the newly arriving illegal aliens no matter the age.”
They also requested Obama disclose the intent of the Department of Homeland Security’s review of deportation policies.
Signatures include: Rep. Darrell Issa, Rep. Pete Sessions, Rep. Sam Graves, Rep. Lamar Smith, Rep. Blake Farenthold, Rep. Gus Bilirakis, Rep. Marsha Blackburn, Rep. Tim McClintock, Rep. John Duncan, Rep. Tom Cotton, Rep Jim Bridenstine, Rep. Alan Nunnelee, Rep. Gregg Harper, Rep. Doug LaMalfa, Rep. Paul Gosar, Rep. Lynn Jenkins, Rep. Vicky Hartzler, Rep. Tom Cole, Rep. Markwayne Mullin, Rep. Ken Calvert, Rep. Brad Wenstrup, Rep. Virginia Foxx, Rep. Ander Crenshaw, Rep. Phil Gingrey, Rep. Rob Wittman, Rep. Ralph Hall, Rep. Roger Williams, Rep John Campbell, Rep. Steve Stockman, Rep. Dan Benishek, Rep. David Jolly, Rep. Ted Yoho, Rep. Tim Griffin.
This mess was made by Barack Obama, and it’s his duty to take the lead in cleaning it up, and it all starts with ending the DACA program, which is the source of the problem.
Obama is obviously attempting to use this crisis as justification for passing immigration reform through executive order, once again superseding Congress. This must not be allowed to happen.
