Williams votes to prevent funding President's amnesty orders

Congressman Roger Williams (TX-25) issued the following statement after the House voted to pass the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act of 2015.

"Two weeks ago, I pledged to do everything in my power to prevent President Obama's unlawful actions that would grant amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants in the United States. Today's bill not only does nothing to thwart the President's unilateral actions, it provides full funding for them. My constituents are outraged by the Administration's neglect of our border and disregard for enforcing our current laws. While there are many good provisions in this bill, I cannot allow President Obama to receive funding to usurp Congress and implement his amnesty-driven agenda. Fully securing our border needs to be a top priority, and we can't afford to take this huge step backwards."
