Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Pat Roberts (R–Kan.) issued the following statement in response to President Obama’s executive order granting amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants:

“President Obama’s executive order directly defies the clear message the American people sent with their vote on election night. The President has no interest in a constructive working relationship with Congress.  He has no intention of listening to the will American people, and he has no respect for the Constitutional boundaries of his office.

“We are a nation of laws. The President swore an oath to uphold those laws, and this action flies in the face of that promise.
