             THE PRESIDENT'S LAWLESS IMMIGRATION OVERREACH

  (Mrs. BLACK asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. BLACK. Mr. Speaker, on Tuesday, President Obama came to 
Nashville to defend his unconstitutional immigration overreaches, but 
Tennesseans aren't buying it.
  I asked my constituents what questions they would ask the President 
during his visit to the Volunteer State, and the response was 
overwhelming. Penny in Springfield asked, ``Why has he chosen to ignore 
the voice of the people on the immigration issue?''
  Janice in Gordonsville asked, ``What does he say to the legal 
immigrants who obeyed the law to become citizens?''
  And Kimberly in White House simply says, ``I want to know why our 
laws are no longer valid.''
  My constituents said it best. We are a Nation of laws, and this 
lawless immigration overreach must not stand.
