Top Senate Democrats are sick of waiting for the House to take up comprehensive immigration reform. If Republicans don’t act in July, President Obama will, they warn. After all, he still has a pen and phone, right?
Via The Hill:
"We're at the end of the line," Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) said Thursday during a press briefing in the Capitol. "We're not bluffing by setting a legislative deadline for them to act.
"Their first job is to govern," Menendez added, "and in the absence of governing, then you see executive actions."
Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) piled on. Noting that a year has passed since the Senate passed a sweeping immigration reform bill with broad bipartisan support, he urged House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) to bring a similar bill to the floor.
"I don't know how much more time he thinks he needs, but I hope that Speaker Boehner will speak up today," Durbin said. "And if he does not, the president will borrow the power that is needed to solve the problems of immigration."
White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest made similar remarks in an interview with MSNBC’s Chuck Todd:
“[W]e’re not just going to sit around and wait interminably for Congress,” he said. “We’ve been waiting a year already. The president has tasked his Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson with reviewing what options are available to the president, what is at his disposal using his executive authority to try to address some of the problems that have been created by our broken immigration system.”
Given the current unaccompanied child immigration crisis at the Southwestern border, however, Boehner says passing any legislation this year will only be more difficult.
“The president's making this harder and harder every day for us to try to deal with this in a responsible way," Boehner said. "We've got a humanitarian disaster on the border. Most of it, at the president's own making, in my opinion, and so it makes our jobs much more difficult because of the actions he's taken or not taken with regard to the border."
Doing what nazis do. They just want to be called ‘progressive’, but their pedigree has been found out.
Time for the governors of the border states to declare a state of emergency and put the national guard on the border then dare the jug eared clown to do something about it.
Then the states need to start filing criminal charges against people in the Obama adm., including Obama, for violating state laws.
Make sure the crimes they are charges with are crimes against children and the left wont know which way to turn.
If the president pardons all the illegals, there will be no injunction. Then the only court cases will be about the status of pardoned illegals and whether or not they can be deported.
‘ALIPAC.COM—— Congress toll-free numbers:
Flood the Congress w/ Phone calls—”we will not subsidize Democrat vote-buying schemes. No tax dollars for illegals.”
1-800-828-0498 1-800-459-1887 1-800-614-2803 1-866-340-9281’
I tried these Congress toll free numbers, the first 4. The first number is a defective number, the second is a Bob Evans survey number, the third is a sales pitch for seniors, the fourth is a conference call, I didn’t wait to find out about what or who it was.
Don’t waste people’s time with phony numbers. Which side are you on?
‘Blackmail is exactly what it is, and I pray that everyone understands that we must defeat the rats in November. ‘
As long as the dems are counting the votes as we just saw in Mississippi we have no chance thru the ballot box, time to take to the streets and disrupt every dem demonstration and meeting. Last option I can see before we have to open the last box.
