Im trying to find out which RINOs voted no. This is not even a big deal. They are just investigating it.

It was only 218 votes. I wonder if Cantor is behind this. He’ll probably go to his district and do another one of his faux speeches , “ I told Trey Gowdy to investigate Benghazi and I told Steve King to investigate the criminal aliens release.”
I want these sobs impeached!! The borders are now over run !!! we need militia on the borders now. We need leaders . This is madness. GET THESE ILLEGALS OUT OF OUR COUNTRY!!> Be prepared to help.
Since when do the representatives of the people need to pray for compliance with the laws — from those charged with executing them?
What a travesty that Barry has not taken swift action to gain the Marine's release.
You’ve just answered your own question. The Marine in the Mexican prison is a US citizen, and like himself, the undocumented democrats are not.
