House Republicans demand Obama reveals immigration recommendations

Reps. Spencer Bachus (R-Ala.), Howard Coble (R-N.C.), Lamar Smith (R-Texas) and Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) were among the House Judiciary Committee Republicans who sent a letter to President Barack Obama on Monday demanding he disclose the recommendations he has received for the anticipated executive actions regarding immigration laws.

Obama originally intended to take more actions to curb the enforcement of immigration laws by the end of this summer, but decided to postpone taking action until after the November midterm elections.

“Whether it’s now or November, it is never acceptable for the Executive Branch to ignore the Constitution and unilaterally give amnesty to unlawful immigrants,” the letter said “The least the administration can do is give Americans the opportunity to see the recommendations that you are considering before you take any actions.”

The letter, led by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.), is also signed by Reps. Ted Poe (R-Texas), Tom Marino (R-Pa.), George Holding (R-N.C.), Doug Collins (R-Ga.), Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.), Jason Smith (R-Mo.), Trent Franks (R-Az.), Blake Farenthold (R-Texas), Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.), Raul Labrador (R-Idaho), Steve King (R-Iowa), Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), Jim Sensenbrenner (R-Wisc.), Louie Gohmert (R-Texas), Randy Forbes (R-Va.), Steve Chabot (R-Ohio) and Jim Jordan (R-Ohio).
