“I’m pleased to see President Obama taking action to fix our broken immigration system. His executive actions fall well within the clear legal authority of his office and will help to secure our borders while also providing relief to millions of hard-working and law-abiding immigrant families across America. President Obama is not the first president to issue executive orders related to immigration. Indeed, other past presidents – including President Ronald Reagan and four other Republican presidents – have also used executive authority to act on immigration policy.
Congressman Dan Kildee (MI-05) today was elected by his Democratic colleagues to serve as Regional Whip for the Midwest Region in the 114th Congress.

Congressman Dan Kildee (MI-05) today expressed strong opposition to a bill being brought to the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives giving a foreign oil corporation a multi-million dollar tax break while at the same time potentially leaving Michiganders on the hook for the costs associated with the spill of foreign tar sands oil in the U.S.
It may be awhile before freshman U.S. Rep. Dan Kildee (D-Flint) ever sits in the majority.

Congressman Dan Kildee (MI-05) today spoke on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives disapproving of the decision by Speaker of the House John Boehner (OH-08) and House Republican leadership to forgo legislative action on a multitude of items awaiting a vote in favoring of a dangerous lawsuit against the President intended as an election-year gimmick.

Rep. Dan Kildee (D-Mich.) on Thursday said that Congress doesn't deserve its five-week August recess.
"Creating opportunity for hardworking American families and reigniting the American Dream should be the top priority of this Congress," Kildee said on the House floor.

Congressman Dan Kildee (MI-05) has successfully amended the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) with two amendments, both focused on improving the lives of service members in Michigan and around the nation. On a unanimous bipartisan vote late last night, the amendments were passed by the U.S. House of Representatives.
“I am pleased that the House adopted both of my amendments to care for our wounded men and women returning from overseas and to protect service members near military bases from predatory lenders,” Congressman Kildee said.
