Rep. Calvert Statement on United States v. Texas Decision

Today, Congressman Ken Calvert (CA-42) issued the following statement in response to the Supreme Court ruling in the United States v. Texas immigration case:

"Time and time again I, along with other Republicans, have spoken out against President Obama's executive actions because they violate our constitutional separation of powers. Today, the Supreme Court's tie effectively upheld the lower court's ruling that agreed with our opinion. Congress writes the laws, not the President. There's no doubt that our immigration system is broken. The first step we must take to fix the system is to strengthen our border security and make the use of E-Verify mandatory."
