Issa on Obama's Unilateral Immigration Action: "We Cannot Let This Stand"

Congressman Darrell Issa (R-Cali.) has been chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee since January 2011, and has been aggressive towards holding officials accountable for the several scandals plaguing the Obama Administration including Fast and Furious, the IRS targeting conservatives, and Benghazi.

Issa's strong belief in democracy and a transparent government shown through his work on the Oversight Committee has him up-in-arms over President Obama's announcement to unilaterally act on immigration. 

He said this in a statement:

“The President’s unilateral actions on immigration are a violation of his responsibilities and the trust the American people have placed in him. President Obama is playing a dangerous political game with lives and deepening the mistrust that the American people and Congress have in his ability to faithfully execute the law. The President is not respecting our system of checks and balances–we cannot let this stand.” 

As the 113th Congress comes to an end, Congressman Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) has been elected Chairman of the House Oversight Committee for the next Congress. He has also been very outspoken towards government corruption as a member of the committee and has promised to carry out what Rep. Issa has started. 

"I have great respect for Chairman Darrell Issa and can’t thank him enough for his many years of dedicated service leading the Oversight Committee...I look forward to working with new and current Members of the Committee, Ranking Member Cummings, and other leaders in the House as we continue to ensure that taxpayers’ investment in government is spent effectively, efficiently, and transparently,” said Chaffetz in a press release.
