Rep. Gus Bilirakis, R-Fla. (9th CD), has issued the following news release:

Rep. Gus Bilirakis (FL-09) joined his colleagues in writing a letter calling on President Obama to enforce U.S. immigration laws rather than selectively give amnesty to illegal residents.

In August, the President bypassed Congress and announced the administration would only deport illegal aliens who pose a threat or are criminals, allowing thousands and perhaps millions of illegal residents to remain in the U.S.

"This is yet another instance of the President and the administration picking and choosing what laws to enforce, or better yet, not enforce," said Bilirakis, a member of the House Homeland Security Committee. "This latest amnesty plan lets people know that it is okay to be in this country illegally, which completely undermines the legal immigration process that we have here in America."
