Raja Krishnamoorthi said "Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong opposition to President Trump's executive order against legal immigration. I was sworn to uphold the Constitution and I was elected to grow our economy and help unify our country. Unfortunately, this order is an assault on the Constitution, it harms the economy by harming working families, and it divides the country. On Saturday night, I went to O'Hare International Airport to help American, legal permanent residents be freed from detention. They are people integral to the success of our community and our economy. I ask my honorable Republican colleagues to stand with them and oppose the executive order. ___________________
