Sad and disappointing but not a surprise. Sen. Mitch McConnell has showed himself to be the gutless wimp that we’ve all known he is. He has given the Democrats exactly what they have been demanding. In other words, Sen. Mitch McConnell, as majority leader, has shown the same feckless, flaccidity that he showed while minority leader. What he’s done is pass the buck back to the House:
This is a shame. The issue is not only important but it is an easy win. It is the Democrats and the White House that need DHS funded. The GOP doesn’t. Something like 83% of that agency will remain on the job as they are “essential” employees. Not that it matters. Enforcing immigration and naturalization policy isn’t what the are about. They are more busy writing reports on the scourge of “sovereign citizen extremists” than actually doing something useful.
Now the action moves back to the House. Speaker Boehner should stick to his guns and takes as his motto General Grant’s statement during the Overland Campaign: “I propose to fight it out on this line, if it takes all summer.”

And they will start up again a couple months before the general election and tell us how the bunch of rinos will be better than the Rats, or how judgeships are so important we need to "hold our nose and vote for them".
The Pubs won a huge victory in 2014 to end the illegal amnesty, stop obamacare, stop the packing of the courts, stop the radical appointments, stop the govt regulations. All I've seen so far is the tired old rino excuse of ,"we tried, but we couldn't get it done."
Call your Senators and Congresscitters and tell them no to a clean bill. Ask Dems why are they willing to risk the security of America over people who are not even citizens. Tell Repubs that if there is a clean bill passed, the court case ruling by the 26 states will become moot, as the judges will say that is was the expressed will of Congress to fund the the executive action.
No sense complaining in the echo chamber here—we need to make our voices heard—yes, even to Democrats.
I have made my calls—how about you?
This is it-the whole ballgame.
Between controlling the demographics and the internet, America will be in a Communist vise it will not recover fro
And they peddle the GOPe talking points of “moving goalposts” - we need the Senate; we need 60 seats; we need a 67 veto proof majority; we need the presidency; etc.
Okay, we gave it ALL to them in middle 2000’s and what did they do? Grow government. Created DHS which instead of eliminating duplicate agencies and offices they just packed them all under one giant bureacracy and hired more bureacrats. They increased spending, the deficit and the debt.
Just like the Dems.
The GOPe doesn’t want the majority.
They don’t want the responsibility, just the perks.
