                  THE PRESIDENT'S IMMIGRATION ACTIONS

  (Mrs. WALORSKI asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. WALORSKI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of our 
opportunity as a Congress to stop an unconstitutional action by the 
President and allow Congress to perform its constitutional 
responsibilities: to write and create the laws of this great land.
  Article I, section 8 of the Constitution is clear. It is Congress' 
responsibility to write the law; the President's job is to simply 
enforce those laws.
  Unfortunately, President Obama has initiated some of the largest 
executive power grabs in American history by unilaterally rewriting our 
Nation's immigration laws. These actions have ignored the will of the 
American people.
  This week, the House will address those reforms and prevent the 
President and future Presidents from abusing that authority, breaking 
the law,

and ignoring the Constitution at the expense of resolving a national 
crisis.
