WASHINGTON — Even as President Barack Obama prepares to take executive action on immigration, an incoming GOP Senate chairman said Monday he is working on a border security bill and will aim to move it once the new Republican-controlled Congress convenes in January.

Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, who is in line to chair the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, said his legislation would include a guest worker program to reduce incentives for illegal immigration. It would build on work already done by Congress, including a House bill aimed at ensuring that 90 percent of would-be border crossers are stopped.

Johnson outlined his plans in an interview with The Associated Press amid growing GOP complaints over Obama’s plans to act on his own by year’s end to address the faulty immigration system. Obama’s plans, which could remove the threat of deportation for millions, are emerging as a major point of conflict with congressional Republicans who made big gains in last week’s midterm elections.

“Regardless of what President Obama does I’m going to move forward with a very strong border security bill,” Johnson said. “I hope President Obama doesn’t take that executive action because I think for many people that will poison the well and certainly make it more difficult to solve the immigration problem.”

if Odummer does executive amnesty. Each and evry Congress critter should walk enmasse to the WH and surround it and demand the Secret service arrest the treasonous piece of excrement, than frog march his sorry backside to a federal prison, whereby he is incarcerated for entirety of his crimes againsst the USA. Everything Odummer owns is seized by Federal marshalls and is sold off immediately. Michelle and the offspring are stripped of everything. The dark stain of the American first dumb president is wiped away. America moves forward. And the 11 million illegal immigrants are returned to Mexico. In the words of Martin Luther King - I have a dream - hopefully this American nightmare will come to an end.

The elephant in the room is that the law is what Obama says it is.

Precedent has long replaced the constitution as the fuel of our system.

Subsequent presidents will cite Obama's powers, and build on them until we are entirely ruled by diktats from ministers at the EPA, HHS, DOJ etc.

The hard tyranny is here. Elections alone cannot restore freedom.

Article V Now.

Excellent points by all. Eisenhower took 4 years to deport millions of illegals and we should as well. As O’Reilly and others keep saying “we need to be humane” to these illegals who have been here.

What about being humane to US the LEGAL residents of our own great nation. If some thug breaks into our homes, next ozippy will tell us we MUST keep them, house them, let them have whatever they want. How is THAT different from what is being asked of our great nation? Go live at the White Hut with ValJar and we’ll see how SHE likes this.

NO to Amnesty. No one who broke into our country should EVER be allowed to become a citizen OR to vote OR to receive one penny of assistance. Cruel. I think not. It’s the law. We don’t need new ones except EEE’s #5 anchor baby.
