“It is not too late to do the right thing, and that is hold the President responsible for his immigration policies. His ignoring immigration laws and weakening immigration laws through executive orders has caused the border crisis. It has encouraged tens of thousands of illegal immigrants to undertake a dangerous journey north. The burden rests on the President to enforce current immigration laws. Otherwise, he will continue to reap the whirlwind of displaced families and an unsecure border. To those who say, ``We have to do something,'' the answer is, ``Yes, tell the President to uphold the Constitution and faithfully execute the laws.'' The President doesn't need more power. He doesn't need more money. He just needs to keep his oath of office. ____________________”
