Rosa DeLauro Supports Obama's Executive Action, Doesn't Fear More Gridlock

Republican lawmakers are already denouncing President Barack Obama's planned executive action on immigration and the idea of another government shutdown has been floated. But Connecticut Representative Rosa DeLauro says the gridlock is a product of her chamber in Washington.

"The House has been recalcitrant. [It] refuses to do it because I believe [that] they believe that it is better to deal with gridlock, and not to move in any direction that the Senate has," said DeLauro. She complimented the Senate's ability to compromise on an immigration bill they eventually passed.

When asked if Obama's executive action could result in more gridlock, DeLauro said she doesn't think it's possible to have any more than they already do.

DeLauro does believe the House has an immigration bill that would pass in the Senate. But since it's not happening in Congress, she agrees with Obama's decision to move ahead on his own. If Congress did pass some reform measures, DeLauro said Obama's executive actions could be rescinded later on.

Connecticut's 3rd congressional district includes New Haven. In a campaign event for Governor Dannel Malloy, First Lady Michelle Obama was interrupted by undocumented youth brought to the United States at a young age. The group, Connecticut Students for a DREAM interrupted both the First Lady in New Haven and President Obama in Bridgeport.

The president is expected to announce his executive actions in a speech Thursday night.

OK, if they can cast Keith Richards as Jack Sparrow’s father, I think we just found his old mommy.

Lauro is yet another example of how true ugliness eventually rises to the surface.

Many liberal/leftie women are lookers when they’re young, but the evil within them turns them into hideous hags, far beyond what the normal aging process brings.

Another Connecticut Communist heard from. You can find her sordid red background in Trevor Loudon’s 2013 book, “The Enemies Within: Communists, Marxists, Socialists and Progressive in the US Congress”, www.pacificfreedomfoundation.org or at Amazon.con.

The photos are worth the price of the book alone. And her husband has some baggage of his own that he doesn’t want you to know about.

#19. My God. I’ve never seen a living, walking Salvation Army clothing bin before.

Who does her clothing designing, Versuckie? K-Mart? Bradley Manning?
