Press Releases

From Numbers USA:

Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., said that "close to 20" of his colleagues expressed "reservations" about the GOP leaders' package at today’s caucus meeting. With 234 Republicans and 218 votes needed for passage, Boehner may not have enough votes to pass his measure if he loses 20 members.

From the Washington Times:

While this new bill may ‘neuter’ DACA moving forward as the sponsor claims, the bill will be twisted and used by the president—as well as the attorney general, an army of lawyers, and countless pundits—to say this DACA fix bill actually resulted in Congressional approval (i.e., statutory enactment) of DACA from June 15, 2012 until yesterday July 30, 2014,” Rep. Paul Gosar, Arizona Republican, wrote in a letter to colleagues.

From the Washington Examiner:

Gosar said the legislation is “a lot better” than it was Thursday, but he won’t commit to voting until he sees the bill’s wording.  He also said he expects to vote against it unless the House votes first on the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which allows young people who came to the U.S. illegally as children to avoid deportation.

From the Arizona Republic:

In a message Thursday to his House colleagues, Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., complained that the deferred-action bill was not retroactive to 2012 and would not apply to current deffered-action recipients. “The bill also allows for anyone that may have had their DACA 'contract' renewed on July 29, 2014, for instance, to stay in our country for another two years,” Gosar wrote. “This could easily be perceived as de facto amnesty and tacit approval by Congress of the President's mini-Dream Act memorandum.”
