"The last time Americans experience major tax reform was in 1986, under President Reagan. Over the last few decades, our broken tax code has failed Americans.

The bill released today includes a means to allow individuals and families to keep more of the money they earn," said Graves.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Representative Sam Graves issued the following statement after the President today announced his decision to end the Obama-era executive amnesty known as DACA. The President called on Congress to replace DACA with legislation before it fully expires on March 5, 2018.
