Matt Salmon Responds to Obama's Plan to Go
Around Congress on Immigration Reform...
EAST
VALLEY - Matt Salmon, former Congressman and candidate for Arizona's 5th
congressional district released the following statement regarding President
Obama's unilateral change to immigration law:
"Once again, President Obama has proven that the only job security he truly cares about is his own. Instead of heeding the calls from our leaders in Arizona and other border states to work with Congress on securing our national borders immediately, he has chosen to institute another policy designed to aid his faltering re-election campaign. Instead of working with Congress on meaningful reform, he has chosen to go around it. This is exactly the kind of politics that American citizens have grown tired of."
"Our national borders continue to be unprotected while the threats of terrorism and drug cartel violence intensify daily. This administration has failed to fulfill its constitutional role of securing our borders and enforcing our laws. Even worse, it has allowed guns to walk across the border without any accountability and instituted pandering polices designed solely to garner votes. True immigration reform can never happen until our federal government secures our borders first, and I will lead this fight when I return to Congress."
