CONGRESSMAN: WE CAN DEFEAT AMNESTY, EXECUTIVE ORDERS

Culberson explains power to stop 'most illegal, unlawful president' ever

The Democrat plan to give amnesty to millions of illegal aliens in the U.S. can be thwarted, despite apparent wavering by House Republican leadership, contends a Texas congressman.

In an interview with Michael Savage on his “Savage Nation” nationally syndicated show Friday, Rep. John Culberson, R-Texas, insisted, furthermore, that if President Obama tries to advance amnesty or any other initiative through illegal executive orders, he can be stopped, because the House holds the purse strings and can cut off funding for actions that can’t be justified legally.

“The power of the purse is the secret to this guy – the most illegal, unlawful president in American history,” said Culberson, who had just returned from a GOP retreat in Cambridge, Md., where House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, distributed a two-page list of broad principles on immigration.

Rep. John Culberson, R-Texas Seven months after the Senate passed a bipartisan bill with a “path to citizenship,” House Republican leaders Thursday said for the first time they would be open to allowing illegal aliens to live and work legally in the U.S. but would not offer a “special path” to citizenship.

That step in the direction of the Senate plan has many border-security-first advocates, including Savage, worried.

But Culberson emphasized that Boehner told his Republican colleagues in the House that he wouldn’t allow a bill go to the floor unless a majority of the Republican-controlled House is in favor.

Culberson said an overwhelming majority of the members who spoke at the House GOP retreat said “we need to enforce the law first.”

Primary out Bonehead? The GOP controlled House could remove Bonehead from his speakership today, if they chose to do so. They seem to like him. In fact they are going to help him and the democrats pass amnesty.

Primary out all RINOs. Prepare to support independent candidates if that's what it takes.

What’s your plan then? Tell us all to vote for Jeb Bush because he is a lessor evil than Hillary.

Do me a favor. Please ping me when you aren't asking such a stupid question that doesn't following from anything that I've said.

Thanks.

Primary Bonehead out. Good idea. However, why wait? The GOP
can remove his speakership TODAY, if they so chose. They chose not
to remove him.

My point on B. Hussein’s Catch 22 was that Obama can’t take a penny less than Congress has already spent, and thus there is nothing to cut, because there is no increase in spending.

Congress says that the money hasn’t been spent, only approved to be spent in the form of a continuing resolution.

Obama says that since the approved money has already been spent, “The Richest Nation on Earth” is being forced to print money to cover the expenses that Congress, and mainly the Republicans, refuse to approve to be spent.

Thus, if Obama could only get the Republicans in Congress to approve unlimited Federal spending then the Investments that Obama would then make would pay down the National Debt, and finally get our Deficit under Control.

RE :”Thus, if Obama could only get the Republicans in Congress to approve unlimited Federal spending then the Investments that Obama would then make would pay down the National Debt, and finally get our Deficit under Control.”

Yes.

And because the GOP House refuses to pass Obama’s economic fixes like employer mandates on minimum pay(wage) , paid sick leave, work visas for illegals and equal pay based on sex, the economy still struggles along.

If only they would help Obama ‘get these things done’ we all would have great paying jobs. Employers won't hire till the government puts the squeeze on them.

Don't believe me, read Paul Krugman's book.

BTW, I secretly suspect that when B. Hussein says “We can then get Federal Spending under control” that he really uses the word “we” in the royal sense.
