                 OPPOSING UNILATERAL EXECUTIVE ACTIONS

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, over the last few weeks, many people have 
expressed genuine concerns about the appropriations bill that passed 
Congress in December. Unfortunately, many Washington-based special 
interest groups are confusing the matter with incomplete and sometimes 
false messages aimed more at fundraising for themselves than uniting 
behind our shared goal of stopping President Obama's executive 
overreach on immigration.
  I am vehemently opposed to the President's unilateral executive 
actions granting amnesty to millions of illegal aliens. It is the 
responsibility of Congress to pursue reforms and ensure that a strong 
immigration policy is devised.
  By extending funding for the Department of Homeland Security only 
through February 2015, the House and Senate are prepared to confront 
the President's unparalleled power grab without the threat of a 
looming, government-wide shutdown, and we will do everything we can to 
stop his destructive actions.
