Washington, D.C. – Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) Chair Linda Sánchez released the following statement on President Obama's State of the Union Address:
"The Hispanic Caucus stands with President Obama in defending the immigration executive actions announced last November. The President's policy initiatives for middle class families are exactly what our country needs to continue moving in the right direction. Republicans have already demonstrated in the first few days of the new congressional session that they are going to continue playing the same political games instead of addressing our country's most pressing issues. The only message Republicans have on immigration is border security, and as we know, our border is more secure than ever before. The CHC stands committed to championing the pressing priorities most important to Latino families."

Washington, D.C. – Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) Chair Linda Sánchez released the following statement following today's vote on H.R. 240:
"The legislation panders to those in the right-wing of the Republican Party who are unhappy with President Obama's executive action on immigration. Today's bill attacks the most vulnerable in our society. Republicans are consciously targeting millions of families who work hard, contribute to our communities, and are just trying to give their children a chance at the American Dream. As a country, we are better than this. Shame on Republicans for attacking the Latino community yet again."
