I thank the gentleman from Texas for yielding some of his time. This bill is necessary to make sure that the negative effects associated with the President's actions do not cause long-term damage to our country. As a new Member of Congress, I was sent to Washington to represent the people of southeast Georgia against the numerous harmful actions taken by the President and his administration. From the time that I have been here, I have been shocked by the actions of the President and the way he directly ignores the will of the American people, statutory law, and, most importantly, the Constitution of this country. This bill makes sure that no funds will be used to implement the President's executive order that allowed thousands of illegal immigrants to stay in this country. This bill also makes sure that no funds will go to implement any rule or regulation that has been issued by the administration over the last several years. It is time to stand up to the President and say, no more. No more, Mr. President. No more rewarding bad behavior. No more rules that ignore the will of the American people. No more ignoring statutory law. And most importantly, no more ignoring the Constitution of the United States. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this bill.
