WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Conservative Republicans urged House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner not to capitulate in a fight with Democrats over President Barack Obama's immigration policy that threatens a partial Homeland Security shutdown later this week.
The conservative lawmakers, led by Representative Jeff Duncan, circulated a letter to Boehner and other House leaders telling them to hold the line in opposing Obama's executive actions shielding millions of undocumented immigrants from deportation, a Duncan aide said on Tuesday.
"Now is the time to stand firm against these unlawful executive actions," said the letter, signed by about 20 conservative Republicans so far.

If Drunkin Boner doesn’t sell us out, McConnell will. They probably agreed to take turns, pretending to care about amnesty & Obamacare.
Boner to McConnell: “ How do we structure the argument so that enough conservatives will believe that we tried ? “

So let me throw this out. I think the GOP should pass a ‘payroll bill’ for DHS every two weeks. Everybody gets paid, (FEMA, Airline security, Coast Guard) but nobody can work on special projects that haven’t been authorized. And if they do ... The House files charges against them for unauthorized expenditures.

That Boehner wouldn’t be able to stand firm with an overdose of Viagra administered by Kate Upton in a nurse’s uniform.

Bottom line, for the job this bureaucrat laden Homeland security outfit is doing; it’s obvious we could do without them. For one thing they are not controlling the borders and who needs so many third world types searching so many old ladies at major airports? An independent CIA, FBI and local law enforcement could do a better job while spending a lot less money.

KJV: Ephesians Chapter 6
[10] Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. [11] Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. [12] For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. [13] Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Why won't McConnell move the DHS funding bill through the Senate like Reid moved ObummerCare through. Reid attached Obummer care to another bill to avoid the fillibuster.
To: 11th Commandment
Because McConnell’s bosses want amnesty.

“Firm” on immigration for Boner means continuing his Pro-Law-Breaking position.
