BREAKING: Boehner-Led House Just Bowed To Obama With This Massive Change For America
House GOP leadership bends over and lays down.
Norvell Rose — March 3, 2015
The debate is over, the impasse is broken, the Republicans have caved, and Obama has been handed a huge victory in the fight over total funding for the Department of Homeland Security, including a provision to proceed with executive amnesty.
The House has approved the “clean” bill to fully fund DHS.
Buried amid the avalanche of news coverage of Bibi Netanyahu’s speech to Congress was an agreement by House Speaker John Boehner that could forever alter the landscape of American political power.
The Republican-led House, following the cue of Boehner and others in the GOP leadership, has just given up the fight against authorizing money for President Obama’s executive amnesty as part of the bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security.
The New York Daily News reports that Boehner addressed his deeply divided caucus Tuesday morning, arguing that the issue affecting millions of illegal immigrants is now in the hands of the courts, and that Congress should move on with other business.
Many conservatives have long argued that allowing Obama’s amnesty order to be funded means the president’s program will continue, despite what the courts may rule, as the administration has previously shown its willingness to defy or bypass court orders.
And once amnesty is in place, critics contend, non-citizens falling under its protections could well be put on a path to the voting booth that would give their Democrat enablers a virtual lock on national political power.
The Daily News article notes that Speaker Boehner acknowledged to his GOP colleagues that Obama’s actions are unconstitutional, even as he agreed, in effect, to support them.
It’s time to move on to the impeachments of Boner and Ditch.
