McCaul Statement on on Federal Court Ruling Blocking President's Immigration Executive Amnesty

AUSTIN, TX –This morning, following the announcement that a U.S. federal district court has issued a preliminary injunction blocking President Obama's unconstitutional executive amnesty, Congressman McCaul released the following statement:

McCaul: "The announcement that the US District court has ruled against the president's unconstitutional executive amnesty orders reinforces what President Obama said 22 times - he does not have the authority to ignore the law. I applaud this ruling and urge the President to recognize that he must work with Congress to secure our border and follow the rule of law when it comes to interior enforcement. Furthermore, Senate Democrats who claim to oppose the president's executive actions on immigration should immediately stop playing political games and let the Senate begin debate on a Department of Homeland Security funding bill."
