McConnell: 'We're Pretty Unhappy' About Obama's Immigration Mandate

(CNSNews.com) - Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) said on Friday he will seek a court order to stop the Obama administration from halting the deportation of illegal aliens who were brought to this country as children.

But King is one of the few Republicans talking about a lawsuit.

On Monday, Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) was asked what Congress will do about the Executive Branch setting mandatory immigration policy without congressional authority.

"Well, one thing -- we thing it ought to require legislative action," McConnell told Fox News anchor Martha McCallum. "The way you get these things done is to have a bipartisan discussion."

McCallum persisted: "But if the White House has gone around Congress in a way that is not above-board, is Congress going to hold the White House's feet to the fire on this and force them to go through Congress, is my question."

"Well, that would require court action, I assume," Sen. Mitch McConnell told Fox News on Monday. "But yeah, I think we're pretty unhappy with the fact that they have now decided to do something they claimed they couldn't legally do a year ago."

McConnell said Obama's decision "raises quite a suspicion that this is all just about trying to ingratiate himself with Hispanic voters."

On Friday, Rep. King told radio host Mike Huckabee, "I’m prepared to bring a suit and seek a court order to stop implementation of this policy."

You plan to sue the administration? Huckabee asked. “That is correct,” King said.

What is it you think he should do exactly?

How does Congress overturn an executive order?

Court action? Yeah - it's called impeachment, you flippin’ moron! There's this interesting document you might want to read called The Constitution of the United States....it lays out little things like the separation of powers and it even explains how laws are supposed to be passed! Maybe if you got a hold of a copy of it, you'd have some idea about what to do next!

They are Republicans - they won’t do a damn thing about it.

Worse, they are establishment Republicans, in partnership with the Chamber of Commerce and the Wall Street Journal - they want illegal immigrants, lots of them.

They increase profits and they don’t have to put up with them living around them in their gated communities. That’s for the average American to bear.

Mitch you’re too old to fight for America, so please, do the patriotic thing and retire and let someone younger, more full of fight take the baton because you’re just worthless to us if you can’t fight the enemy within!

Old Mitchy is unhappy alright. He's unhappy Republicans didn't pass an amnesty, aka Dream Act, themselves. Darn! Now Hispanic voters will hate Republicans forever. Oh, woe!

There is little to no will on the Republican side to expel illegal aliens. In fact, many Republicans leaders and businesses embrace cheap Mexican labor (so long as they don't have to live next to it).

THIS sort of weak, wussy, namby-pamby attitude ("unhappy", I assume) is why Obummer is thumbing his nose at Congress every time he gets a whim to do things his own way. Obama is not upholding his oath of office or the Constitution and what is as bad or maybe even worse, neither is McConnell or his cronies by letting Obama get away with it. We the People need to clean house .... top to bottom.

Where’s the picture of the fish-faced general from Star Wars saying, “It’s a trap!”

The only response to this is the following:

“The Obama Administration, just yesterday, became the biggest spender of money in the history of Earth. Not satisfied with this achievement, they want the all-time unemployment crown and have decided to let over 20,000,000 illegal aliens remain in the country to compete with naturalized and native citizens here for the dwindling number of jobs available.

If you’d like to help the Obama Administration reach the all-time unemployment goal, on its way to officially placing the economy into a depression, please cast your vote for him in November.

Be careful driving home though - one of those illegal aliens may just get drunk celebrating Mr. Obama’s recent ruling and drive the wrong way on the freeway and kill you coming home like that poor woman in Texas. Don’t you worry though, because we are going to pay to prosecute him right here in the US for vehicular homicide and then pay for the best jail cells your tax money can buy.

After all, as a young illegal alien, he’s got a right to be here - mercy demands it - and so when he gets out in four years, he can stay right here in his big melting pot called the USA.”

McConnell and Boner should go have a good cry together. Then, call Sarah Palin and she will tell you what to do next! What a bunch of spineless, cowards these two are! They disgust me!

Here’s a tissue, Might Mouse McConnell, now why don’t you make yourself useless and go cry in the corner with your equally useless sack of crap counterpart, Boner.

“We’re really unhappy about Obama’s Illegal Immigration Amnesty dodge; you see, we really wanted to to it first, and now Obama and the Democrats have gotten the credit. Besides, by saying this we can pretend we are against Illegal Immigration and still not do anything meaningful to stop it. Maybe Mitt will get us right by pushing Amnesty, he sure seems to want to given his latest statements. Anyway, maybe the base will be quiet for a little longer and buy this latest lie by me and the rest of us Pretend Republicans.”
