The measure – which would kill the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program – is scheduled to come to the House floor Wednesday as part of a bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security through the end of September. But more than a dozen House Republicans have told the GOP whip operation that they will not vote for the amendment, according to people involved. These Republicans say the leadership is catering to the far-right elements of the party, and they disapprove of the underlying policy.

Hundreds of thousands of young central american invaders INVITED by Obama and cleared through through Mexico for transit to ‘Estadoes Unidoes’ (sic).

They ain’t ours and if Elian had to go back to his pappa in a Communist hellhole then send these youngun’s back too (including the 20 year old gang bangers playing at being teenagers again).

Supposedly a dozen bozos have said they won’t vote for such a bill......the GOP has way more than enough votes to pass this. It is up to US to hold their feet to the fire and make it so

Democrats and RINOs are determined to destroy the nation and turn us into just another flyblown third world toilet populated with parsitic, illiterate, mud people sucking on the government teat and voting for their plantation masters.

"... more than a dozen House Republicans have told the GOP whip operation that they will not vote for the amendment..."

Out of how many, 247? So, less than 5% oppose this, and Politico is making a big deal of it?

It’s the usual try to shape the news before it becomes the news. When the vote happens, then it will be time to have the headline “GOPe caved to Obama”. Then lets see them get through a primary.
News by innuendo not so much.
