Walberg Stands Up to President Obama’s Executive Overreach

Washington, D.C. – Congressman Tim Walberg released the following statement today after voting to fund the Department of Homeland Security and stand up to President Obama's executive overreach on immigration.

"By ignoring Congress' constitutional role in making laws, President Obama is undermining the Constitution and the system of checks and balances our Founding Fathers designed. Today we listened to the will of the American people and voted to restore the proper constitutional balance and block President Obama's unconstitutional actions on immigration—actions the President himself said he lacked the authority to implement. The American people are looking for us to secure the border, enforce the rule of law, and develop a workable immigration policy, and I urge President Obama to put an end to his executive overreach and join with us in that effort."

Congressman Walberg serves on the House Education and the Workforce Committee as Chair of the Workforce Protections Subcommittee. In addition, he serves on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. For more information on Walberg's work in Congress visit walberg.house.gov.
