“I take to the floor of the House today to support President Trump's decision as it relates to DACA. America must be a nation of laws, and those laws must be passed by the Congress. This is the promise made in our Constitution and ensured by our enduring liberty. President Obama was incorrect to unilaterally act in this program; President Trump is correct to put the power back in the hands of the people's representatives. America must also be a nation of borders, and we erode the virtue and value of those borders when we draw people across those borders illegally. There is nothing compassionate about telling the rest of the world that, so long as a child arrives here, that child will be treated as if they have the same virtues and values of American citizens, if they committed the criminal offense of unlawful entry into the country. Challenges we have seen with undocumented minors being sent has created humanitarian crises, and I believe that DACA and other programs that draw those across our borders illegally have contributed to those crises. I support the President. We should end DACA. ____________________”
