And it's being completely ignored.
One of only 17 Republicans to vote with Charles Rangle, Nancy Pelsoi, Shiela Jackson Lee, Maxine Waters, Henry Waxmanm, etc. on a immigration/terrorism bill.
Is anyone even curious as to why????
Boehner better learn real quick that Pence and RSC are DONE
with BIG GOVERNMENT Republicanism.Otherwise he will suffer the same fate as Blunt and Delay.
Protest vote? If you find out why, let me know.
Do you KNOW why?
because he is an open borders fanatic.

Yes, I am curious. Would like to know what other Freepers think of this guy.
Why?
Question:“Why did you vote against the recent border security bill, H.R. 4437? Do you support amnesty for illegal immigrants?”
Boehner: H.R. 4437 has a number of strong provisions aimed at stemming the tide of illegal immigration, all of which I support.
I opposed one section of the bill that places a massive unfunded mandate on small businesses. I for one don’t think we stop illegal immigration by strangling the small businesses that are the backbone of our economy. Nor do I believe it is right to turn small business owners into felons for failing to do the federal government’s job of protecting the borders. Had it not been for this one section, I would have supported the bill.
I worked with colleagues of mine to address these concerns, but we were not allowed to offer an amendment. And my committee, which has jurisdiction over these employer issues, was only given twenty-four hours to review the bill. That’s not enough time to fully review a massive piece of legislation and offer substantive changes.
The only way to make my voice heard was to cast a risky vote. I did so, and I have no regrets.
As for the second question: no. I do not support giving amnesty to illegal immigrants. I never have and I never will. Illegal immigrants are just that -- illegal. Their first act upon entering our country was to break our laws and they need to be held accountable.
I am curious as to why.
This immigration/terrorism vote really bothers me.
