Pelosi Slams House Republicans For Pushing ‘Anti-Immigrant’ Agenda
Source: CBS
SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi criticized a resolution brought forward by House Republicans on Thursday, St. Patricks Day, that will authorize the Speaker of the House to file what she described as an anti-immigrant amicus brief in the Supreme Court.
Rep. Pelosi (D-California) said House Republicans refrained from telling members of the House or American people what they are planning to say in the amicus brief.
The House Republicans voted Thursday to intervene in a Supreme Court case over deportation relief programs announced by President Barack Obama in 2012 and 2014, which many Republicans consider amnesty for undocumented immigrants.
Pelosi and other Congressional Democrats argue that members of the House were voting to authorize the creation of an amicus brief, but were not actually allowed to know the contents of the brief.
