Congressman Pitts' Comments on Obama Immigration Order

WASHINGTON — Congressman Joe Pitts (PA-16) released the following statement on President Obama’s executive order on immigration policy:

"The President said repeatedly in the last few years that he was not a 'king.' However, tonight he took action outside the laws Congress set to govern immigration policy.

"This isn’t just going around Congress, it's going around the American people, who just spoke in the 2014 elections. This isn't a long-term solution and it puts up a substantial barrier to getting such an agreement during the President's remaining years in office."
