Conservatives are angered by the House leader’s agreement to a continuing resolution on the budget that would effectively strip Republicans of their power to stop Obama’s plan to allow up to 5 million illegal aliens to remain in the U.S.

…talk host (Laura Ingraham) contended “there’s no mention in your very short bill of funding, and the way to stop [Obama] is to use the power of the purse.” Yoho replied: “I agree with you a 100 percent and that’s the purpose of the CR we are going to come up with, but this [stand alone bill] takes away [Obama's] legal authority.”
Ingraham shot back: “No, it doesn’t. The court can only take away his legal authority.”
She argued the Constitution doesn’t give authority to the House of Representatives to declare a bill unconstitutional.
“The thing you’re left to do is stop funding of this outrage that is killing American jobs,” Ingraham said. “Congressman, I like you, but I’m going to say it … you’re being played here.”

Ingraham asked Yoho if Boehner has pledged to replace the continuing resolution when it expires with a proposal by Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., which would take advantage of Congress’ ability to block funding of Obama’s immigration action.

“We haven’t gone that far,” he said. “What we’re dealing with is crisis management up here, over and over again. [Work authorizations] are self-funding through the fees and things like that they collect. We can’t shut off funds until we get into appropriations process and rewrite those bills.”
Ingraham argued the Congressional Research Service reported that last year’s omnibus spending bill included 16 funding restrictions on fee-based programs.
“So you can cut off the money to the fee-based programs. We did it last year. So Boehner is trying to cook up, ‘Well, we can’t do this because it’s funded.’ Oh bull! He doesn’t want to do it because he wants this immigration amnesty because the Chamber of Commerce wants it, the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce wants it and every big fat-cat donor of the Republican Party wants it,” the talk host said.
“That is the truth, and if more Republicans had the guts to say that on Capitol Hill, you wouldn’t win by one percentage point, which you won by last time, or the first time, you’d win by 20 points or you wouldn’t be challenged like Jeff Sessions,” said Ingraham.
She further asked why Senate Majority Leader Reid, a Democrat, supports Yoho’s bill.

She insisted it’s a matter of trust because “in the end, Boehner really wants what Jeb Bush really wants, which is comprehensive immigration reform, which is concurrent amnesty with bogus promise of enforcement.”
The entire GOP base has been played by Boehner. He needs to be replaced.
They’ve turned into the Republicant party.
Apparently, to be a “leader” in today’s GOP, you have to be more gruberish than Gruber.
Who couldn’t see this ooming????
Laura needs to run for congress. She has an overwhelming advantage with her microphone.
Boehner is nothing less than a TRAITOR to the country. He is not observing his commitment to “defend the Constitution” but is deliberately siding with a Dictatorial usurper to undermine the rules of law and subjugate the American people. He must be removed from office!!!!! He has been bought and paid for by special interest lobbies and in no way is he working on behalf of the American citizens of his district or of any district.
Good for Laura Ingrham.
Unfortunately, it is only a media outlet like WND that is covering these immigration arguments. The establishment GOP media like NRO, is letting itself be distracted by grand jury decision, while Boehner and the GOP skate once again. If only NRO, Hot Air, Fox News, etc., called on GOP House Members to ditch John Boehner, things would change. Unfortunately, popular and powerful GOP media arms prop up Boehner and McConnell, and might just do so until the these guys are 90 years old.
It is time to saturate these media outlets with phone calls and mailed letters telling them to call on Boehner to step down as Speaker. They don’t read the comment boxes on their websites, you have to do it the old fashion way.
Why would the GOPe vote to defund an action that they support?
Why the House Republicans continue to tolerate Boehner is mystifying. Unless, of course, they are just like him.
The GOP is in serious need of a house cleaning. I don’t believe the party can move forward unless it does this. As long as Boehner is there, they will be stuck in the mud and their majority will be short lived.
It has for years and still is the American people who are being played by the DC establishment.
Face it folks, we got played by the GOPe. We’re gonna have to go third party. It will be painful, but GOPe must go the way of the Whigs.

There you are!
“She insisted it’s a matter of trust because “in the end, Boehner really wants what Jeb Bush really wants, which is comprehensive immigration reform, which is concurrent amnesty with bogus promise of enforcement.”
Laura Ingraham is right. Pete Sessions is already blathering about how they are going to push through amnesty for every illegal in the country in 2015. I have no doubt that is the plan and I have no good feeling we can stop it. I can only hope that the few good guys we have elected can derail Boehner’s plans.
“Congressman, I like you, but I’m going to say it … you’re being played here.”...........
All of us are being “played” by Boehner and we should put extreme heat on our individual representatives to NOT support him as the incoming Congressional leader. Instead of “leading”, he has become a traitor.
Tired of being played...it is time to stop playing with them.
