Isn't that the expectation?
Same old Ted...
It will NEVER get passed the House.
How about “Stroke of the pen, law of the land, PRETTY SLICK..!”
How would that grab them..?
Just like the repeal of commie care they put forth what won’t pass.
The time to put this forward was trumps first day in office.
Repubs blew their chance as usual.
Come on Mitch... Be McConnell 2.0 and don’t slip back into Turtledom. Don’t accept BONDAGE to the open-borders Chamber of Commerse. Be an AMERICAN PATRIOT. Do it!
Maybe we could do it like Obama:
Implemented portions of the DREAM Act, which Congress rejected, by executive action.”
“Killed four Americans overseas in counter-terrorism operations without judicial process.”
“Extended the deadline to enroll in Obamacare.”
“Illegally delayed Obamacare verification of eligibility for healthcare subsidies.”
“Illegally required people to violate their faith via the Obamacare contraception mandate.”
“Illegally targeted conservative groups for heightened IRS scrutiny.”
“Secretly obtained phone records from staff at the Associated Press.”
“Threatened to arrest military priests for practicing their faith during the partial government shutdown.”
“Illegally sold thousands of guns to criminals, in the operation known as Fast and Furious, and then refused to comply with congressional subpoenas about the operation.”
“Illegally revealed the existence of sealed indictments in the Benghazi investigation.”
All spending bills must originate in the House. Obamacare was started in the Senate by using an appropriations bill already passed in the house, and amended it by striking every single word out of the bill, including the title, and amending it with the Obamacare bill language.
A bit late.
That would be an excellent Christmas Gift to Americans from Sea to Shining Sea!
Then, start slashing government spending across the board, and cut off all payments to countries that hate us and want us dead.
MAGA! :)
Lets see if Trump POTUS keeps his promise that he will let the democrats shut down the government if he doesn’t get funding for the wall.
Flake says he will not vote on anything until the bill to protect Mueller from being removed is passed.
Now that it’s safe to propose it. Reminds me of Obamacare where they said they supported its repeal when it was “safe” for them to do so, but as soon as it was really doable, oh no, they don’t support it.
Kabuki theater.
woo hoo!!!
Don’t spending bills have to originate in the house?
Don’t spending bills have to originate in the house?
Bingo!
Deem it so Scotty!
closing existing loopholes that provide illegal immigrants with
federal benefits and tax credits

Interesting if it can be passed in both Houses.
It won’t increase tax moneys but use money going to illegals.
If they can’t get funds from the gov’t they will have to find
work, scrounge from other sources or leave. No more handouts.
...reconciliation over the Christmas holiday - like Obamacare.
That would be just as good as Mexico paying for the wall. In fact, even better in the long run.
Unfortunately, such a bill will not pass in this Congress, nor the next. The wall was effectively defeated in the midterm election.
Where the F##k have they been for the last 2 years when we had the house?
Once again, when there’s NO CHANCE this becomes law suddenly Republicans are talking the talk.
This bill should have been introduced on January 20, 2017 and signed into law by January 21, 2017.
