Jeff Sessions dares Obama to veto bill blocking funding for amnesty
The Blaze ^ | 11/12/2014 | Pete Kasperowicz

Posted on 11/13/2014 5:49:22 PM PST by sheikdetailfeather

Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) on Tuesday night said there is growing support in the Senate to deny President Barack Obama the funding he needs to executive his immigration plans, and said Obama’s veto of that legislation would not be supported by the American people.

Sessions said on the Mark Levin Show that Republicans will be looking to pass a government funding bill that prevents Obama from using any money to implement an amnesty program for millions of illegal immigrants. Sessions admitted that passage of this language might have to wait until next year, when Republicans take over the Senate.

....Does anybody remember the flood of young children that we started paying attention to back in March? All of a sudden, out of nowhere, droves and droves of accompanied young children from El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua (not Mexico) started arriving in literal droves.

We found out, "You know what? We have a little aspect of immigration law that nobody remembered, and that is we cannot send back minors who come from countries that are not Mexico. We have to keep them. We can't send them back." I wonder who in the Regime found that one. Now, I have never believed that that just happened. I don't believe that parents in Nicaragua and El Salvador and wherever the hell else, put their kids on trains for 45 days and a hell trip to get to the United States, unaccompanied.

I just don't believe that happened.

I don't believe it sprung out of nowhere.

I don't believe that's the normal thing parents would do.

I think the Regime is behind it. We found a jobs posting on a government website dated in January in which the government was seeking transportation logistics companies for the purpose of relocating children arriving illegally at the Southern border. They were looking for lawyers as well. When these unaccompanied children began arriving, they weren't even given proper health checkups....

Much more, from El Rushbo, here....

It was the liberal republican leadership that allowed the CRs to replace the budget.

I agree with you 100% on the budget.

Joseph Robinette Biden was born in Scranton, PA to two US citizen parents. He played football for a Catholic high school and in college.

He has many wrongheaded ideas, but I would trade “Obama” (or whatever his real name is) for Biden in a heartbeat.

Also, O'Reilly made my blood boil tonight

Why should the Congress, which has sole authority over immigration and naturalization, have a deadline?

What does it matter that Congress "doesn't act", for six months or six hundred years? Action on immigration and naturalization is at their sole discretion, and discretion means they are as free to not act as to act.

If Obama does what he threatens, he should be detained by the military, which SHOULD give Congress a deadline to act on his removal from office.

What does Joe Biden have to do with impeaching Obama for high crimes and misdemeanors? Irrelevant. In addition in the unlikely event the Senate removed Obama from office Joe Biden would be a slight improvement over Obama.

However he is probably too low key and serious to get elected.

I don't think that would hurt him with most voters, and they might be weary of bombastic politicians such as Obama and others. But the MSM would go back to his kindergarten years trying to find something they could twist as being racist.

Mainly a question if he would have any interest at all. And it would be best if he stayed quiet about it until an announcement was necessary.

Sessions is great.

I couldn’t believe the talking heads tonight on FOX, listening while they made excuses NOT to stand up to the law. This country has lost direction.

They shouldn't, bit Obama has turned things upside down and Republican cowards in Congress, the MSM and most all Democrats have allowed him to do it, or helped him do it. Somebody has got to "step up" and make moves to seriously challenge him.

I didn't watch O'Reilly tonight because I expected about what it seems he said.

Yes. Fox people want to walk on eggs with Obama. I get sick of them biting their nails over a govt. shutdown.

And Fox having their guests agreeing by their talking points, in my view that Obama should be impeached but don’t it
because of obstacles that the republicans would face in 2016. Preserving our constitution is being ignored, right in our faces.

May be no republicans should not run in 2016, and let Hillary have a 100% democrat congress. Then the country will know whom to blame when illegals flood the country from every hell hole.

Me too. He’s getting to be like Juan Williams. Whenever someone brings up a good point, he just says ‘that’s not true and won’t let them finish. The dark hair girl was speaking the truth about the Mexicans taking jobs. BOr was just an as%.

Dear, Billy O'Reilly, No Congress is ever obligated to give ANY president any bill to sign. For Congress to take no action on any legislation is actually a form of action by their inaction on an issue. Do you get that Bill? Or is that too difficult for your New England mush-brain to understand.

Also Bill, who are you listening to come up with your political views? Teenagers?

What part of enforcing the laws already enacted don't these people in Congress understand?

The dark haired girl was Andrea Tantaros.

You can see her on Outnumbered# at noon to one EST on Fox, and many times on the Five at 5 pm EST on Fox.

She did not let O’Blowhard railroad her. He was really controlling tonight.
