The House on Tuesday admitted defeat after a month-long effort to defund President Barack Obama’s executive action on immigration, and passed a Department of Homeland Security funding bill that leaves Obama’s plan intact.
The vote came after dozens of House Republicans fought to the bitter end to reject the “clean” DHS bill, in an effort to oppose what they see as an unconstitutional action from Obama. The House passed the bill 257-167, and sending it to the White House for Obama’s signature into law.
In the end, 167 Republicans voted against the Senate’s version of the bill. But because the bill was supported by every Democrat, only 30 or so Republicans had to support it to ensure it’s passage, and 75 GOP members voted for it.

GOP funds Illegal Executive Amnesty !!
Pathetic.
why even go through these motions?
Time to ask ourselves why even vote Republican?
Boehner had to depend on democrats to get what HE wanted.
So it truly is a one-party system.
So who are the 75 traitors who voted for this bill?
The result was never in doubt.
No, elections do have consequences. We sent rinos back to washington, and they are stabbing us in the back just like they have done before.
This also gives Boehner another avenue to blame this on conservatives. If the courts uphold the stay, Boehner will claim his plans were vindicated. If it is overturned, he will claim he intended to continue the fight, but conservatives prevented him by refusing the three week extension.
Does anyone in Washington, with the exception of Obama, lie as much as Boehner?
Well, that not only give Obama the money for amnesty, but it yanks the rug out from under the lawsuits against executive amnesty.
Stick a fork in it. The Republic is dead.
Classic line.
The important vote was the one before passage (to table the motion).
98 Rs voted TO MAKE SURE THE MOTION CAME ON THE FLOOR

On the passage vote Boehner could let a bunch ‘pretend’ to oppose it- to fool the voters.
Who are the 75?
Obama to Boehners wife: “Hey, Woman. Hey, Woman! Listen here. Since your old man ain’t got no heart, maybe you like to see a real man. I bet you stay up late every night dreamin’ you had a real man, don’t ya? I’ll tell you what. Bring your pretty little self over to the white house tonight, and I’ll show you a real man.”
“So it truly is a one-party system.”
Yes - the INCUMBENT Party
167 voted against. Check the numbers. The RINOs voted with the rats. It is the R&R coalition.
I know at least two of them off the top of my head. One would be Speaker Bonehead and the other one being that idiot Peter King from New York.
Why do we still have a GOP?
So can I tell my wife to call all her relatives in Cambodia and tell them to forget the Visa process and jump on a plane and get here ASAP? They won’t be deported I guess so why not? Who cares about laws?
No, the real question is who are the 98 traitors who voted to bring it to the floor for a vote. See post 12 below. 23 of those traitors then voted against it for pure show, knowing it would pass if they voted to bring it for a floor vote.
