Conducting such hearings inevitably sets this Committee on a collision course with the longstanding Rules of the House, which you have apparently alluded to as recently as this week.”

"[Democrats] had a chance to show they are serious about an immigration solution for DACA recipients, and perhaps even for the DREAMers they have talked about 'protecting' for years. Instead, today we are considering a political messaging bill. The message: America won’t enforce its laws or protect its people. . . . Republicans want to provide legal status for DACA recipients.
