We know this is a planned invasion... But Boehner (Boner) has beat the drum of 'Obama does not uphold or enforce the law." Hint hint: Obama really, truly doesn't... But...

She said it was also their responsibility to do something about the crisis at the border. "As congressional leaders, you have the ability to...
