SPEAKER BOEHNER QUOTES ALL 22 TIMES OBAMA HAS SAID HE COULD NOT DO EXEC. AMNESTY

Breitbart:

 

 

House Speaker John Boehner took to the House Floor Wednesday — ahead of a series of votes to block President Barack Obama’s executive amnesty — to take the president to task for his executive orders on immigration.

 

In a pointed speech directed squarely at the president’s actions, Boehner quoted each of the 22 times Obama has said he did not have the authority to do what he eventually did: unilaterally change the nation’s immigration laws.

 

“We are dealing with a president who has ignored the people, has ignored the Constitution, and even his own past statements,” Boehner said. “In fact, on at least 22 occasions he said didn’t have the authority to do exactly what he did.”

House votes to undo Obama immigration actions

WASHINGTON — Shunning a White House veto threat and opposition within their own party, House Republicans approved legislation Wednesday to overturn President Barack Obama's key immigration policies and expose hundreds of thousands of younger immigrants to expulsion from the U.S.

 

The 236-191 vote came on a broad bill that would provide $39.7 billion to finance the Homeland Security Department through the rest of the budget year, legislation that lawmakers of both parties said was sorely needed to pay for counterterrorism, cybersecurity and other priorities at a moment when the Paris terror attacks have underscored dire threats.

 

Democrats accused Republicans of putting that money at risk by attaching veto-bait amendments on immigration, and some Republicans voiced the same concern. But House GOP leaders and most of their rank and file accused Obama in turn of reckless and unconstitutional actions on immigration that had to be answered.

 

"This executive overreach is an affront to the rule of law and to the Constitution itself," said House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio. "The people made clear that they wanted more accountability from this president, and by our votes here today we will heed their will and we will keep our oath to protect and defend the Constitution."

House votes to undo Obamas executive amnesties as part of new funding bill for Homeland Security

posted at 12:41 pm on January 14, 2015 by Allahpundit

 

Two separate anti-amnesty amendments passed this morning: Marsha Blackburns bill, which would freeze Obamas 2012 DACA amnesty for DREAMers; and Robert Aderholts bill, which would defund Obamas more recent executive amnesty and strip away elements of the previous one. The idea in passing all of them is to give Mitch McConnell options in trying to sell the bill to wary centrist Democrats like Joe Manchin and Claire McCaskill. They might not go for Blackburns attack on DACA or Aderholts attempt to nuke Obamas executive overreach. But what about Martha Robys more limited bill to defund the November amnesty, which will presumably pass later today? Would Democrats be willing to vote for that, knowing that Obama will veto it if it passes and DHS will be defunded?

 

Actually, would Republicans?

 

 

Even some of the Senates fiercest critics of Obamas immigration policies, such as Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama, are not taking a tone as aggressive as House Republicans when it comes to holding the Homeland Security Departments funding at risk.

 

We need to fund DHS. I think thats high ground, Sessions said Tuesday

 

Sen. John Thune of South Dakota, the No. 3 Republican in the Senate, was asked directly whether DHS funding was threatened. I dont see that happening. Everybody realizes that there are important functions in that department that have to be funded, he said.

 

A bright spot about the House legislation, Thune added, is that it will give Republicans a chance to publicly protest Obamas actions, even if thats all they do. It does sort of create an opportunity to discuss the presidents unilateral action on immigration, which a lot of people think is unlawful.

Even Jeff Sessions, huh? You know the politics of defunding DHS right now are tough if even Mr. Border Hawk sounds squeamish.
