“I thank my friend from Alabama for yielding, and I support his amendment. The House already has voted against the President's executive amnesty several times. The language this amendment seeks to strike would legitimize the President's unlawful immigration actions, which violates Congress' constitutional authority over immigration policy. Serving in our military forces and defending our country should be a privilege reserved for those who are citizens and legal U.S. residents.

The Chair will remind Members to refrain from engaging in personalities toward the President. {time} 1715”
