New national polling I just saw:
70% of all registered voters are against Obama’s Administrative Amnesty plan. And 52% of Black registered voters are against it.
Too bad the RINOs are on Obama’s side.

How can you find out who voted for it? I have written my Republican Congress-critter and told them that if they vote for any immigration/amnesty bill I will do everything in my power to see that they are defeated by their Democrat opponent.

The stupidest president in the history of America walked Boehner and fellow RINOs right into his trap.

This is why the Founding Fathers wanted the U.S. President to always be an American Good catch. ;-)

We all understand that the bill isn’t going to go anywhere but Conservatives/Republicans put themselves in a good position to capitalize on public opinion. It would have been more impactful if the Senate actually voted it down imo. I blame the RINO leadership for that. We(conservatives)will have to drag them along or cast them overboard in November.

How do I know that Obama's tough choices involve subverting the Constitution and permanently damaging the rule of law?

“He later added: “I’m going to have to act alone, because we don’t have enough resources.””
Then why did you arrange for them to come here?

yes. the main thing is to defeat the liberal wing establishment. We are the establishment now, not Karl rove or a bush or Christie. Hillary is sick and floundering. This is our best chance to get a Ronald Reagan.

Boener got all but 4 Republican votes (i.e., 98% of them). For that we should give him credit. Most likely, he could have gotten 60% or 70% of the Republican votes, and nearly all of the Democrat votes...and MUCH EASIER.
That would have KILLED THE PARTY...but he held out until virtually every Republican was on board - including dozens of SOLID CONSERVATIVES.
I’m no fan of Boener...but I have trouble expecting more out of any House Speaker.

**The House legislation was approved on a 223-189 vote. The new version of the bill adds additional funding for the National Guard and includes policy changes meant to speed deportations of illegal immigrant children surging across the southern border.**
Would the Senate ever approve this?

Didnt Boner tell some Chamber of Amnesty group that hed push something through in August? Well, here it is!!!
I remember.
And they can't understand why I'm so angry?
Now rainee, I'm reading posts from people here that say this is a good bill.
I don't know, but what will it look like by the time harry and friends are done with it?

Sounds like good timing to me. Too late for the Senate to grab it and mutilate it and then innocently send it back.
Let Obama try acting alone on this with so much of the country against what he is doing. I think he will regret it.
To: novemberslady
The senate will never see the bill and Harry Reid says that anything done in the house will be dead in the water.
Legislatively its meaningless, strategically its a good move.

The word deportation is being used loosely for “get their a33e3 back over the border.”
To: cripplecreek
The senate will never see the bill
Are you sure about that cripplecreek?
