Congressman Tim Huelskamp (KS-01) issued the following statement:

“As someone who has followed the immigration rules for my own family, it is unfair that President Obama’s amnesty rewards those that have broken the rules and punishes those that have followed them.

“At issue here is ensuring that this spending bill defunds Obama’s executive amnesty now rather than later. That is what I fought for in the Rules committee and what I will continue to fight for.

“I am very disappointed that the Republican leadership refused to allow us to even consider this amendment on the floor of the U.S. House.”
