Republicans should use the budget process to stop President Barack Obama’s plans to grant work permits to as many as 5 million illegal immigrants because “he was not elected king,” Rep. Marsha Blackburn told Newsmax on Thursday. “He is president and he needs to realize that he is going to have to come to the Hill and work with Congress on this,” the Tennessee Republican said. “We’re certainly within our right if he does this to come back in and restrict funds and then to pass legislation that would affect that. “This is just an inappropriate action,” Blackburn added. “The president is overstepping his bounds and it’s up to Congress to rein him back in.” Blackburn was among 62 House Republicans who signed a letter urging the House Appropriations Committee include language in any funding bill that would ban financing for Obama’s plans to grant work permits to as many as 5 million illegals and expand a deportation deferral program that could affect as many as 300,000 others.
