Robert Aderholt: “Again let me just say before the gentleman closes, the amendment here before us today prevents any funds appropriated…”

On the recordJanuary 14, 2015
Again let me just say before the gentleman closes, the amendment here before us today prevents any funds appropriated, or user fees collected by any Federal agency, to be used to carry out the executive actions that were announced on November 20, 2014, which would grant deferred action to an estimated 4 million people in the country illegally and unlawfully. Again, this goes back to a promise that was made by the Republican House of Representatives at the end of last year, and we addressed this issue saying that we would work on this issue, make a commitment to address this issue of the President's action when this bill came to the floor, and this is fulfilling that promise today. Again, I would ask my colleagues to support this amendment. I yield back the balance of my time. {time} 0945
