Walberg decries House Democrats abuse of House rules to Give Taxpayer Dollars to illegal immigrants
Congressman says democrats will go to "tyrannical measures" to benefit illegal immigrants
WASHINGTON D.C. - U.S. Congressman Tim Walberg (R-MI) today made the following statement after House Democrats changed the result of a vote last night to give welfare to illegal immigrants.
"This week's actions make it clear that House Democrats will go to extraordinary, tyrannical measures to direct taxpayer dollars to illegal immigrants.
"Earlier this week, House Democrats passed a bill that, if made into law, will take millions of dollars in Medicare Advantage funds away from seniors to give health care to illegal aliens.
"If that wasn't bad enough, last night House Republicans were victorious in passing an amendment banning illegal immigrants from receiving food stamps and welfare in the agriculture appropriations bill, but Democrats, in a corrupt display of crass political power, erased the facts and changed the result of vote to benefit illegal immigrants."
"This shameless power grab forced House Republicans to vacate the floor of the House to demonstrate their privileged responsibility of representing their constituents, not illegal immigrants, had been violated.
"It was shocking to me to see that House Democratic leadership is more committed to making sure illegal immigrants are paid, fed and taken care of with taxpayer dollars than caring for taxpayers themselves."
Background:
Last night House Democrats gaveled the close of the vote before receiving the actual vote tally card from the clerk, a violation of parliamentary rules written primarily by Thomas Jefferson and used in the House for over 200 years
This is an unprecedented event in the history of the U.S. House of Representatives

My comment: As if we needed we needed more proof that democrats don't care about solving the illegal immigration problem. It's a sad day when those elected to represent the American people instead choose to represent non-citizen criminals.
