I thank my colleague, the co-anchor for this hour. This has been a very enlightening topic for us to bring attention to. Each one of us has constituents who are impacted, to whom we speak on a regular basis. We cannot allow this administration to make this type of an executive order and not have the consequences explained to the American people. That is what tonight was all about. Sometimes the other side questioned President Obama making executive orders. Well, this executive order that President Trump is proposing directly impacts the working poor in this country. We cannot allow that to happen. We cannot allow children who are homeless, families who are struggling, and the working poor who are trying to do everything they can to keep it together to be impacted by this misguided, reckless, and totally unnecessary rule change being proposed by the Trump administration. Again, we urge the American public to have their voice heard and submit their comments by June 21 or contact their Member of Congress. We are fighting on their behalf, but we need to make sure that every Member in this body understands the implications of this proposed rule change.
