Senator Blunt Applauds Congressman Aderholt’s Bill To Stop President Obama’s Executive Amnesty
WASHINGTON D.C. – As part of his ongoing efforts to stop President Barack Obama’s executive amnesty, U.S. Senator Roy Blunt (Mo.) applauded U.S. Representative Robert Aderholt’s (Ala.) bill to prohibit the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) or any other federal agency from using funds or fees made available to them to “implement, administer, enforce, or carry out” any amnesty policies established through executive memos. Aderholt’s bill also bars undocumented immigrants that have been granted deferred action from gaining work authorization. To read more, click here.
“For far too long, President Obama has shown a blatant disregard for the nation’s laws, the Constitution, and the will of the American people,” said Blunt. “I applaud Congressman Aderholt’s efforts, and I’ll continue to work with my colleagues in the Senate to stop President Obama’s executive amnesty.”
As the Missouri Times recently reported, Blunt “has taken the lead in the Senate on opposing President Obama’s executive order granting legal status to thousands of undocumented immigrants bypassing Congress… In the days leading up to the [President’s] announcement, Blunt encouraged voters to call the White House or communicate through one of its various social media accounts. Since that announcement on Nov. 20, Blunt has hardly missed a chance to confront the President – even calling his moves “dangerous” and even ‘illegal.’”
In December 2014, Blunt joined an amicus brief led by U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (Texas) and co-signed by U.S. Senator John Cornyn (Texas) in support of a lawsuit brought by the State of Texas against President Barack Obama’s illegal amnesty. Blunt also voted in favor of a constitutional point of order offered by Cruz and U.S. Senator Mike Lee (Utah) against the president’s executive amnesty.
