  • Declaracion de Wasserman Schultz sobre Estados Unidos v. Texas

    06/24/16
    Estoy frustrada y decepcionada por la decisión interbloqueada de la Corte Suprema de Estados Unidos v. Texas, la que tendrá consecuencias devastadoras para millones de niños y familias en los Estados Unidos. Esta decisión está dividida 4 a 4, aunque sin ofrecer valor de precedente, aún mantiene en su lugar la decisión errónea del tribunal inferior, y es un doloroso recordatorio del extremo que los Republicanos del Senado están dispuestos a ir para negar a dar una sesión al candidato de la Corte Suprema del Presidente Obama, el Juez Merrick Garland. La facilidad con la que los Republicanos del Senado ponen los conflictos partisanos antes del bienestar de los trabajadores estadounidenses es alarmante.

  • Wasserman Schultz Statement on United States v. Texas

    06/24/16
    "I am extremely frustrated and disappointed by the Supreme Court's deadlocked decision in United States v. Texas, which will have devastating consequences for millions of children and families in the United States. This 4-4 split decision, though offering no precedential value, still keeps in place the lower court's flawed decision, and is a painful reminder of how far Senate Republicans are willing to go in refusing to give a hearing to President Obama's Supreme Court nominee, Judge Merrick Garland. The ease with which Senate Republicans put partisan politics before the well-being of hardworking Americans is alarming.

  • Wasserman Schultz Statement on GOP Politicizing Legislative Branch Appropriations Bill

    06/10/16
    Today House Republicans injected divisive partisan politics into one of Congress' most non-partisan bills – the Legislative Branch Appropriations bill. The bill funds, among other things, the operations of the United States Capitol, which is a shining beacon of democracy and freedom across the world. Unfortunately, House Republicans have decided this bill was the perfect vehicle to force the Library of Congress to continue using the subject heading "Illegal Aliens" – even though it had decided to stop doing so. It is truly shameful that House Republicans forced the Library of Congress to use a term that millions across America find outdated and offensive, but it is no great surprise. I voted against this bill – and I stand against this kind of appalling politicization that House Republicans have forced on us time and time again.

  • Wasserman Schultz Statement on House Republicans' Anti-Immigration Resolution

    03/17/16
    House Republicans doubled down on their failed strategy of obstructing and opposing President Obama's every move – this time by formally opposing executive actions which would benefit millions of children, parents and families who have come to this nation and especially to Florida. President Obama's executive actions fall well within previous executive actions by presidents of both parties, and would help keep families together. Instead of standing with families, my Republican colleagues, many of whom tout their so-called "pro-family" credentials, chose bitter and divisive partisanship over commonsense reforms that would keep our nation safer and lift up millions of people.

  • Wasserman Schultz Response to President Obama's 2016 State of the Union Address

    01/12/16
    President Obama delivered a strong, inspirational address to the nation this evening. I was thrilled to hear the President reiterate his longstanding calls for comprehensive immigration reform, paid family leave, a higher national minimum wage, and protected and strengthened Medicare and Social Security programs. The American people should be proud of President Obama's accomplishments on their behalf, and know that because of his leadership, our best days indeed lie ahead.

  • Wasserman Schultz Statement on Pope Francis' Address to Joint Meeting of Congress

    09/24/15
    I was deeply moved by the message delivered by Pope Francis this morning to a Joint Meeting of Congress. His words focused on dialogue and the moral imperatives of shrinking poverty, compassion, embrace of immigrants through recognition of our common history as descendants of immigrants and the urgency of taking care of our air, the environment and nature.

  • Rep. Wasserman Schultz Statement on the Fifth Circuit's Decision

    05/27/15
    Today's Fifth Circuit decision to maintain an injunction on the President's executive immigration actions aimed at keeping families together, is a step backwards that will continue to hurt families all across the nation and Florida. The President's actions fall well within previous executive actions on immigration by presidents of both parties. President Obama's actions would provide compassion and much-needed clarity to millions of our neighbors, family and friends. Instead, the decision of two judges in one circuit continues to pull families apart and allow a broken system to remain that way. I will continue to fight for common sense immigration reforms that keep families together and make us safer as a nation.

  • Wasserman Schultz Statement on House Yoho Immigration Bill Vote

    12/04/14
    The President has repeatedly asked Congress to send him a comprehensive immigration reform bill, and in Republicans' refusal to do so, the President has clearly communicated to the American people that he will act within his executive authority – as his Republican and Democratic predecessors have done – to strengthen our borders, bolster our economy, keep families together, and bring dignity to those living in the shadows.

    11/20/14
    "I applaud the executive action taken today by President Obama on immigration, using his lawful authority to provide compassion and certainty to millions of our fellow neighbors, family, and friends.
