The White House threatened Wednesday to veto the $659 million border bill crafted by House Republicans, calling it an insufficient bill that places “arbitrary and unrealistic demands” on the nation’s immigration system.
In a statement of administration policy, the White House said advisers would recommend President Obama veto the bill if it reached his desk.
The administration slammed the GOP bill as “patchwork legislation,” saying it provides insufficient resources and forces harmful policy changes, according to the statement.
“H.R. 5230 could make the situation worse, not better,” the administration said.
The White House used the veto threat to blast House Republicans for failing to take up a comprehensive immigration reform measure, and argued their border bill would undercut protections for migrant children while setting arbitrary timelines for processing immigration cases that could lead to backlogs.

“”Give us a blank check to bring in millions of Democrat voters!””
What "immigration system" is that? We don't have one of those anymore under the Obama regime.
I don’t get it - why is the house bothering to pass anything regarding this?
Tell him that’s it, take it or take nothing.
We won the house, we control the purse.
I think the idea was to put something up, get them to say what they just said, and then put the bill in the stack until after the election.
I think.......
Kick every one of them back across the border and tell them to hop the same frieght train they used to get here, the trains run both direction
We won the house, we control the purse.
Don't forget to work in Law of the Land, liberals just love that phrase.
Obama’s idea of a compromise, “give me everything I demand and give it to me right now or else I’ll just do what I want to do anyways”.
obama never compromise. He’s willing to work with gop as long as they’re willing to pass everything he want.
Translation:
“My way or the highway and I’ll do it my way, damn the constitution.”
“I have to veto the Congressional legislation because of a do nothing Congress.”
obama works so well with others.
he wanted them to send a bill. they sent a bill.
Let him veto it. Then send him a $329 billion border bill (1/2 the previously vetoed one) and a lawsuit requesting the courts take over administering the immigration laws since Obama refuses to.
Good don;t give them anything!! What they should do is cut Obama’s White House funds in half!!!
Once again: THANK YOU ERIC CANTOR.
By being such an IDIOT and getting your head handed to you in your primary last month, you got the rest of House Republicans to finally WAKE UP and NOT be complicit in the president’s plan to REPOPULATE this country.
Obama learned his battle plan from Hamas. Lob a steady stream of accusations at Republicans, and scream when Republicans try to protect the Constitution. Obama is even using women and children as cover for his illegal activities - just like Hamas. And who should be surprised when our Arab/muslim president acts this way? It’s his basic nature.
