Tea Party Congressman Steve King issued a press release on Wednesday outlining a way for conservative House members to be able to support the current House plan on immigration. Rep. King’s office released the following statement on Wednesday, urging conservative members to support the House immigration plan only
Congressman Steve King released the following statement after hosting Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL) as the guest speaker this morning at the Conservative Opportunity Society, a Members only breakfast. Sessions delivered a message which resonated with House core conservatives that the immigration border bill must have two legislative fixes. The result of the breakfast meeting is summarized in the language below that is now garnering support around the Capitol.
Below is the proposal House conservatives provided to House Leadership:
“As
it is currently written, the proposed supplemental (H.R. 5230) is
inadequate to earn our support. If the DACA fix (Cruz/Blackburn, H.R.
5160) is included, and the Chaffetz/Goodlatte OTM/UAC fix (H.R. 5137) is
substituted for the extremely problematic OTM/UAC language currently in
the bill, we will support the bill. This is our effort to get to “yes”
on a bill that addresses the problem, and puts Republicans in the
driver’s seat.”
“This is an effort to get to yes,” said King. “And it is my hope that
with this language we can become a 100% unified conference and stand
together defending the Constitution, the Rule of Law, border security,
and American’s economic security.”
