Congressman French Hill (AR-2) released the following statement after a Federal District Court Judge in Texas ruled to temporarily block President Obama's executive actions on immigration:

"Yesterday's ruling was a win for those who believe in the importance of the rule of law and the separation of powers. In blocking the President's unilateral decision to implement so-called ‘reform’ of our immigration system through executive action, the court confirmed something that many of us already knew: the President's eagerness to bypass Congress lacks any actual legal foundation. I urge the Senate now to take up the House-passed Homeland Security Appropriations bill that fully funds our needed homeland security priorities and reject the President’s unlawful action. Then, we can come together to properly legislate to fix our broken immigration system."
