Garrett Opposes Executive Amnesty with ‘No’ Vote on Omnibus Spending Bill
Dec 11, 2014
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Rep. Scott Garrett (R-NJ) issued the following statement after voting against the $1.1 trillion spending bill that included funding for President Obama’s unconstitutional executive amnesty.
“I remain committed to undoing the damage that President Obama’s unprecedented and wholly unconstitutional executive amnesty is having on our republic. In light of the fact that today’s $1.1 trillion dollar spending bill funds the president’s executive power grab, I cannot support this legislation. In addition, the American people sent a very clear message in November demanding that Congress work together to get things done. As it has done since the start of the 112th Congress, the House should be passing stand-alone funding bills, and following regular order. Passing a 1600-page omnibus is not the course of action the American people demanded.”
