Rogers on United States v. Texas

Statement

Congressman Mike Rogers made the following statement today after the Supreme Court oral arguments began this week in United States v. Texas.

"Over the past seven years, it has become clear that President Obama has little regard for the word "no." President Obama's executive amnesty joins Obamacare, anti-growth environmental rules and other executive overreaches in the Supreme Court. I firmly believe the President's unilateral act to grant legal status to millions of illegal immigrants clearly undermines the power of Congress and the Constitution's system of checks and balances. I have signed on to amicus briefs to courts throughout this case and was proud to give the House an official voice in the Supreme Court by voting for H. Res. 639 in March. What President Obama is attempting to do with our broken illegal immigration system goes against our Constitution, and I will continue to fight against it and defend our rights," Rogers said.
