Pete Sessions: “I thank Mr. Gosar not only for his work, but also for working with the Committee on Rules diligently to have this made…”

“I thank Mr. Gosar not only for his work, but also for working with the Committee on Rules diligently to have this made in order. I am very supportive of this amendment to ensure the administration cannot implement what I consider to be an unconstitutional memo expanding the Military Accessions Vital to the National Interest program, I think in clear violation of congressional intent--as a matter of fact, working around Congress. We must ensure that congressional intent is always protected and executed in accordance with the will of the people and rule of law. The purpose of this program is too important to be exploited for those who I believe have used it for a political agenda. Immigration policy must and should be debated in the Halls of Congress, not written in an agency behind closed doors. I am very pleased with the gentleman from Arizona, and I thank him for his amendment and for working with the Committee on Rules to have this made in order today.”
