CNSNews.com) - Granting "executive amnesty" to millions of people who came to the U.S. illegally "needs to be stopped," Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) told Fox News's Megyn Kelly Thursday night.

"Congress simply has to bar the expenditure of any money to carry out such a scheme because it would be a very expensive scheme," Sessions said.

"How do you shut down funding for a deferred prosecution?" Kelly asked.

"Well, it's real easy," Sessions replied. He noted that in granting deferred deportation for hundreds of thousands of young "dreamers," the Obama administration "gave those individuals ID cards with the words 'work authorization' on it, and gave them the power to take a job, which is improper and contrary to what the laws of the United States are.

Obola should already be impeached.
Or is biowarefare on the Heartland not enough?
Is violating the Constitution not enough?
Is arming al Qaeda not enough?
Is using the IRS against the American people not enough?
Is destroying healthcare for a large fraction of the
US population not enough?
Are murders and rapes by released criminals not enough?

What will it take? Nuclear attacks on US cities?

I hope he runs for President!

If he can keep the dictator Obama in check till the end of the year, we’ve got it made because you all will see a new power for freedom , justice, and the American way rise as the new Republican Congress takes power , finally to have actual power to do things and stop Obama and democrats. finally we have the majority we’ve always wanted

Obama is a dictator. Obama has no authority to do this executive Amnesty. The Constitution makes the presidency a weak office

Obama’s actions are a dictatorial coup. He must be jailed for his many crimes, as they did to Mussolini

Every day procrastinated means more needless rapes,
Ebola, al Qaeda, dead LEO, more paralysis by EV-68,
more needless murders and manslaughters,
more “transparency” of Americans records....

EVERY DAY there is MORE blood on the hands of this
lazy, complicit EXEMPT Congress.

They can’t defund something that isn’t ordered. They have to wait until Obama acts.

Impeachment would hand Obama exactly what he wants, relevancy and a divided country.

Krauthammer explained it best and he is a psychiatrist. Obama is angry at everyone and is desperate to take back the center stage by precipitating
a crisis. The best thing that we can do is enact piecemeal legislation in the house that defunds everything that Obama does. Tie his hands.
They could also keep him busy by demanding meetings on foreign policy actions, demanding to be kept up to date. Just keep Obama busy doing things that he hates doing.

Krauthammer is an Obama voter who supported ObamaCARE,
and supported, and still supports, Romney and RomneyCARE.

Talk is not action.

McConnell has already announced he intends to not allow a “shutdown.” That precludes any defunding measures. Boehner seems to have been in lockstep with McConnell’s submissive attitudes and measures so I am a bit skeptical.
