When these numbskulls had both house and senate they did nothing because if they did they would own it. They needed some on the other side to take the blame when it fell flat on its face.
As the not particularly bright Obama said (when he was away from his teleprompter) “Don’t call my bluff!”. Slims had no idea that it’s not good to announce you are bluffing.
Why didn’t he fix it when his party controlled congress? What an ass.
Boehner must admit he is a Democrat who
eagerly takes the place of toilet paper for
the first Indonesian Tyrant by his and Pelosi’s fraud.
==================================================
Capitol switchboard...1-866-220-0044.
Call or write your legislator ASAP.
MESSAGE: tell Congress that your midterm vote was specific---a demand that they fight tooth and nail---using both tooth and nail----to demolish the Obama/Reid amnesty plan to force American taxpayers to subsidize the expansion of the Democrat party w/ foreign voters.
AMERICANS HAVE BEEN VERY PATIENT: Americans demand the Republican leadership tell Obama: "If the president unilaterally moves to augment the power of the Executive Branch in an unprecedented and unconstitutional manner via E/O'ing amnesty, then the Legislative Branch will need to increase its powers in order to maintain the balance of powers called for in the US Constitution.
FREEPER EDWIN LAND INSIGHTFULLY POSTED: The Senate can do this in an unprecedented but completely constitutional manner, by providing that the filibuster rule is suspended completely until such time as the president withdraws his executive aggrandizement.
RATIONALE--Obama's temporary amnesty E/O requires temporary suspension of the rule. That should also include Congress passing laws without the president signing the bill.
If it is okay for the president to overreach, then it is okay for Congress to overreach. Obama forgets that the Congress---and Americans---can also say, We have been patient.
================================================
THIS NEEDS TO GO VIRAL----STOP OBAMA IN HIS TRACKS :
(1) Fund every penny that is budgeted now.....except defund all DHS, ICE, HHS and USCIS' rubber-stamp activities. Defund anything and everything that directly and indirectly deals with amnesty: work permits, green cards for illegals, gravy train subsidies, re-situating unaccompanied minors w/ families. Then let Obama defend his amnesty E/O or take the blame for the entire shutdown himself.
(2) As a further warning----no votes on ANY Obama nominees until Jan 20, 2017. No judges, No Attorney General, no sub-cabinet secretaries. NOTHING----thanks to the SCOTUS ruling, Obama could not recess-appoint ANYONE, if the House declares the Congress is always in session.
================================================
Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-ALA), has set up an active war room dedicated to undermining Obama's plans on immigration, and is next in line to chair the Budget Committee. From that perch, he would have the power to set spending parameters that undermine the president's moves.

Both bobola and boner should explain to the 92 million Americans without jobs how giving amnesty to30 million illegals helps their job situation.
Oh Lord please let this be true! Are Americans finally rising up? I sure hope so.
In the 70's, former liberals, then Libertarian, psychiartrist Peter Breggin reported that the liberals, much less the leftists, never read anything to their right. Today, 40 years later with unlimited access to non-liberal writing, with talk radio exploding since 1987, with the internet, throw in Fox News, the liberals/leftists still do not read. watch or listen to anything to their right.
We are an unstudied alien species, whose outlines are perceived through wild propaganda charges: racist, bigot, anti-woman, anti-worker, in other words, simply evil dark beings. The propaganda we laugh at or get outraged over, they, the liberals actually believe it.
It is probable that Obama will continually raise the bar until the Republicans are forced into ignominious surrender or government shutdown or even impeachment. I think Obama probably wants to get amnesty put through so that he can break down American sovereignty as he ensures leftist administrations for a generation but I also believe he is deliberately courting shutdowns and impeachment.
If this is the case, we look at how Boehner and McConnell are handling the prospect. Surprise! They are handling it exactly the wrong way. They minimize the danger of amnesty and they maximize the danger of government shutdown. They take their remedies like the power of the purse and the power of impeachment off the table and in effect tell the American people that these constitutionally provided remedies are somehow inappropriate if not illegitimate.
They should be shaping the battlefield now. They should be educating the American people about why open borders cost them their jobs, their kids educations, their hospital treatment, their physical safety on the streets, their futures. The people should be educated about the constitutional system and why the power of the purse is in Congress. Historical parallels with Mussolini, Hitler, and other despots who ruled free of constraints should be made clear to the people. The power of the purse should be equated with patriotism. The danger of the Gruber/Obama administration must be made plain and related to the lives of people.
One can go on and on, the point is that neither McConnell nor Boehner have uttered a breath in this direction and it is unlikely that they will do so. They have to be forced by the likes of Ted Cruz. It is bad enough that conservatives have the media against us, is it necessary for our leadership to speak out against us?
So after the beat down the dems took on election day, they expected the same status quo...?
Wow, these folks really do live in a bubble...
The American people just want their country back.
STOP Obama. Secure the border. Enforce existing laws. Nobody is living “in the shadows”. Illegals are in our face. The rule of law matters even when a black guy is in the White House.
I’m hoping and praying Hussein Obola goes down in flames on Amnesty. That Republicans get the cojones to defund any Obola Amnesty.
Many Dems and liberals are not in favor of illegal alien Amnesties and the Obama crew knows this. Republicans can win a Federal Govt shutdown over amnesty
In other words, to paraphrase the emminently classy Democrat President Lyndon Johnson: "We'll have them _______(fill in the blank) votin' Democrat for the next 200 years."
It's been broken since 1963. Can we go back to the one before that? You know, the one that favors educated and literate people over manual laborers from the Third World - the way the rest of the smarter countries in the world do it?
“Conservative” stand??? How about AMERICA’S STAND? America is against executive amnesty.
NBC’s Obamacult “Today” show just had David Axelrod on, touting how awesome Obamugabe is.....it was thoroughly disgusting.
Which he played a significant and intentional role in breaking.
Immigration reform? Yeah well let’s start way back at the beginning where there are laws in the books about immigration and go from there.
