House Republicans voted Wednesday to overturn President Obama's immigration actions from last November -- and to unravel a directive from 2012 affecting immigrants who came to the U.S. illegally as children -- sending the bill to the Senate where it faces an uncertain fate.
The House voted 236-191 to approve the legislation, which funds the Homeland Security Department through the rest of the budget year to the tune of $40 billion. But as part of that bill, Republicans added provisions to gut the president's immigration directives.
Despite deep Democratic opposition, the House voted 237-190 on an amendment to undo executive actions Obama announced in November that provide temporary deportation relief, and offer work permits, to some 4 million illegal immigrants.
Another amendment would cancel Obama's 2012 policy that's granted work permits and stays of deportation to more than 600,000 immigrants who arrived in the U.S. illegally as kids. That measure passed more narrowly, 218-209, as more than two dozen Republicans joined Democrats in opposition.
Republicans say Obama's moves amounted to an unconstitutional overreach that must be stopped.

as always
Pays the bills I guess.
This morning, an AZ talk radio guy called Boehner & Flake “bought and paid for” whores, and even named the companies who bought em.
Yep, nothing will come of it. Obama will laugh it off. He could care less about what the House and Senate do.
“filibuster”
When the Republicans are running things and want to limit debate, per the Democrats that’s the unfair `nuclear option’.
But when Harry “Damaged Goods” Reid and the Democrats are in the saddle, and want to ram through highly partisan judge nominees, it’s simply expedient; at worst, it’s the ‘constitutional option’.
So now we’re seeing these Obama federal district court judges—rammed through, like Obamacare—overturning state laws and referendums banning homosexual “marriage” by judicial fiat.
OK, GOP. Let’s see what you got.
(We’re keeping our expectations really low because that way we’re less disappointed when you fold like lawn chairs.)
wait, it cost money to deport, but doesn’t cost anything to not deport.
Exactly....
He got da pen....
Good post. The “fighting back” scenario is simply absurd and an insult to the voters who put those weaklings in their positions.
How many times have we seen this pathetic movie before? No reason to get excited over tiresome re-runs.
Thus guaranteeing more support for them from the abject morons that defend them from anything already.
The Right has become the left. They voted for leftist pols pushing leftist causes. They voted for proven liars, voted for evil by justifying it as ‘lesser’ and then come here crying the blues every time their political husband smacks them because it hurt, but he really does love them you see...
“That measure passed more narrowly, 218-209, as more than two dozen Republicans joined Democrats in opposition. “
So Who are the 24 plus -Rino’s ?
Gridlock by the people that just funded Barry for another Trillion bux? I think not.
OK, GOP. Lets see what you got.

They ain’t got nothing. They have a lot of wind, but no wins.
Of course
So, we’re apparently excited that Homeland Security is being funded? I thought this was a CONSERVATIVE site?
