Washington, D.C.—Congressman Marc Veasey, TX-33, issued the following statement after voting against H.R. 2578, the FY 2016 Commerce-Justice-Science Appropriations Bill, which would fail to protect the safety and security of hardworking American families:
Fort Worth, TX – Hoy, el Congresista federal Marc Veasey, TX-33, ha hecho pública la siguiente declaración acerca de la decisión de la Corte Federal de Apelaciones del 5to Circuito de continuar con la medida cautelar de la implementación de la Acción Diferida para Responsabilidad de los Padres (DAPA en sus siglas en inglés) y la Acción Diferida para los Llegados en la Infancia (DACA en sus siglas en inglés):
Fort Worth, TX – Today, U.S. Congressman Marc Veasey, TX-33, released the following statement after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit's decision to uphold the temporary injunction on the Administration's implementation of Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (DAPA) and expanded Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA):
Another provision of the NDAA authored by Rep. Marc Veasey (D-Texas) would have directed the Secretary of Defense to review how allowing DACA recipients to serve in the military would impact the pool of potential recruits and military readiness. The Secretary of Defense would then brief members of the House Armed Services Committee on the evaluation's results.
That provision remains in the bill, as the House Rules Committee did not allow a vote on an amendment to eliminate the Veasey language.
House Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer (MD), along with fellow Democrat Reps. Pete Gallego (TX), Marc Veasey (TX) and Bill Foster (IL) urged House Republicans to continue the DREAMer amendments in the FY 2016 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
