Incoming Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell promised on Thursday morning that Congress will respond forcefully in 2015 to President Barack Obama’s imminent executive action that will defer deportation for millions of undocumented immigrants.
In a blistering speech that quoted Obama’s past statements about his limited unilateral powers on the subject of immigration, the GOP leader did not specify what action that his Republican Senate will take next year

Its like David Cameron in the UK saying he’s going to be tough with the EU while their rules allow the cheap labor to keep flowing into the country.
Pure political phony baloney talk.....
As forceful as Obama’s response to some despot violating one of his Red Lines.
You better deliver turkey neck.
Time will tell..... but I’m not holding my breath.
Wow! He expects us to believe he’s going to take time out from his ant conservative activities to go after no and the Dems?
Ok...
He is going to look grave and say,” aww he shouldna done that.”
Translation: “We’ll wait two weeks before we surrender.”
Born to be mild Mitch will give a stern speech in the Senate then retire to his office to finish off the bourbon.
The president can expect a sternly worded letter tomorrow.
And then fold like a cheap lawn chair.
GOP is the White Flag Party.
If it was coming from Rick Perry or incoming TX Governor Abbott, I would feel less anxious.
But McConnell saying he will use ‘forceful action’ is like Pee Wee Herman saying he’s ready to enter a heavyweight boxing ring.
STOP IT!! Give them a chance.....they have no power until January 21.
That would be so bold!/s
Actually, if I were McConnell I would turn Cruz and Lee loose. Waves two purposes, fires up the base and gives McConnell a scapegoat. The mods can just blame Cruz.
With the new people now in the work force will there be a big jump in the unemployment numbers?
Until the Speaker election in January Boehner will be very good, he has to.
After that he can go back to doing what he loves: going along.
Total capitulation again on the budget. !! You cant make these guys up. We could care less if the government shuts down for months. That is a good thing.
If republican “leaders” don’t already have a well thought out response plan, an implementation strategy, and contingency options with the paperwork already printed and a battalion of savvy lawyers ready to go they don’t deserve to be in office.
