Salmonthompson amendment. Daca protects a large number of unlawfully resident aliens from deportation. In addition to constitutional concerns and National Security implications madam chair, the action poses a range of unintended consequences. Case in point the president s policy creates a incentive to hire Illegal Immigrants over lawfully present workers. Illegal aliens who are granted deferred action are exempt from being counted under the 2010 Health Care Laws employer mandate. Which requires employers with 50 or more employees to offer Health Insurance or pay a penalty. Essentially the president s create add situation where employers face a penalty for hiring americans over illegal aliens. Madam chairman, the president s current deferred action expansion promotes the hiring of individuals who have broken the law. Over the men and women who have come through legal channels worked hard, and played by the rules. Congressman salmon and i are proud to offer this commonsense amendment. Th

Actively endorsed by the Current Administration and rigorously enforced by the department of justice.

In 2009, my 2010, my private businesses my nonprofit organizations and i personally have been subjected to more than 15 instances of audit, inquiry or investigation by federal agencies, including the i. R. S. , osha, a. T. F. And the f. B. I. All of these inquisitions began after filing for Tax Exemption. There is no other remarkable event or rationale to explain how for decades i went unnoticed by the federal government but now find myself on the receiving end of interagency coordination into and against all facets of my life. I shared that same timeline as a part of testimony given in february of 2014 at had a hearing before the House Oversight and government reform subcommittee. Time did not permit then
