DAVENPORT | Iowa's Republican congressional delegation unanimously backed a move in the U.S. House Wednesday to overturn President Barack Obama's executive actions on immigration, tying the measures to a Department of Homeland Security bill that now will go to the Senate.

Reps. Rod Blum, Steve King and David Young all backed passage of the bill, along with the amendments aimed at undermining the president's moves on immigration that would allow millions of undocumented immigrants the ability to stay in the U.S.

On a conference call with reporters, Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, said she had not decided yet whether it was appropriate to tie the immigration measures to the Homeland Security funding bill.

"I know that we have to have homeland security. That’s very important," she told reporters on a conference call Wednesday. "I don’t agree with the president and his executive actions. So we’ll see what they come up with …"

In a statement, Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, called the House's action a "good first step." He said the president was "unilaterally changing immigration policy."

Oh, brother/sister - now that really honks me off - here we go again. Another turncoat right out the gate??? Did JOhn B get to you to play nice? You swore an Oath to the Constitution, not John Boehner and his puppetmasters. You have been chosen to make the response to the State of the Union address - the Fix is in, and we the People got duped one more time.

C'mon Joanie---give it a shot.

REFERENCE In a major suck-up to illegals, Oboma "announced" he was issuing an E/O and planned a "signing ceremony" at a Las Vegas gathering of illegals. E/O and signing ceremony never happened.

Obama was photoed signing "memos" on AF One---not an "executive action." Why? B/c an E/O comes w/ legal baggage that the conniving Boobamba wanted to evade. Both "memos" are now on the Whitehouse website.

The scam works this way: signed Boobamba memos "delegate" to federal agencies orders to come up with plans (that must advance Boobamba's global conspiracy to overthrow the US govt w/ Third World federales and their cadres jumping the US border).

The federal agencies then "invent" Committees to do this (the better to overthrow the US govt). Then "Administrative Rules," after a comment period, will be published in the "Code of Federal Regulations," which magically turns them into law........ using federal fairy dust.

So Boobamba is shielded from responsibility---he doesn't have to take the hit. Behind closed doors, he tells federal factotums what he wants.....and faster than you can say "the combo plate w/ extra hot sauce".....the overthrow of the US govt commences.

====================================================

THE "DELEGATION" HORROR STORY--A Federal agency MO since 1946. It's down to a science: (1) publish a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), (2) make the comment period really short, (3) stonewall any negative comments, and, (4) publish the rule, which (5) NOW has the force of US law. No Congressman was ever involved, and Boobamba doesn't leave his DNA on it. Yet again, why "Delegation" is ominous for liberty---why the writing of administrative law by federal agencies - is un- Constitutional. (Thanks to FReeper Regulator's info.)

===================================================

FREEPER ACTION NOW: Write your governor; call your state attorney general. Nullification means power to the states and power to the people.

The judiciary has consistently ruled against the nullification doctrine, asserting its unique, judicial right to declare laws unconstitutional. But this executive order isn’t a law. And given its extremely shaky legal footing, it isn’t difficult to imagine a federal bench recognizing the states’ right to disregard federal orders that don’t clearly have the force of law.

And that would be a tremendous — tremendous — blow against the executive’s assumption of legislative powers.

But in the shorter, more direct term: It would force the Obama administration to go on offense, perhaps suing the states to enforce a law........ that isn’t a law.

AS OF TODAY---25 states have joined in the nullification action.

Was she just another lying campaigner? If so, she needs to be reminded that she represents her constituents and is not another Obama-style free agent.

Joanie---this is all you need to know.

Obama sucks-up to illegals---signs "amnesty memos" on AF One.
Both "memos" are now on the Whitehouse website.

The first of Obama's presidential action memos is entitled: “Creating Welcoming Communities Fully Integrating Immigrants and Refugees,” filed Nov. 26 in the Federal Register at Vol. 79, No. 228, (http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2014-11-26/html/2014-28191.htm).

In the category “Presidential Documents” at page 70769, Obama ordered a White House Task Force on New Americans to “engage with community, business, and faith leaders, as well as State and local elected officials.” The task force is designed to “help determine additional steps the Federal Government can take to ensure its programs and policies are serving diverse communities that include new Americans.”

The second of the presidential actions entitled, “Modernizing and Streamlining the U.S. Immigration Visa System for the 21st Century,” filed Nov. 26 in the Federal Register at Vol. 79, No. 228, in the category “Presidential Documents” at page 70765 (http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2014-11-26/html/2014-28191.htm).

This empowered the secretaries of State and Homeland Security, in consultation with the director of the Office of Management and Budget, the director of the National Economic Council, the assistant to the president for homeland security and counterterrorism, the director of the Domestic Policy Council, the director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy, the attorney general, and the secretaries of Agriculture, Commerce, Labor and Education.

The order was to make a series of recommendations “to reduce government costs, improve services for applicants, reduce burdens on employers, and combat waste, fraud, and abuse in the system” of issuing immigrant and non-immigrant visas.

ABOUT THOSE "WELCOMING COMMUNITIES"

DHS' JEH JOHNSON AND SECY OF STATE JOHN KERRY SIGN OFF ON OBAMA'S ORDER to welcome into the US, immigrants with 'limited' terror contact
The Daily Caller | 2/5/14 / FR Posted by Nachum

The Obama administration has issued new exemptions to a law that bars certain asylum-seekers and refugees who provided “limited material support” to terrorists who are believed to pose no threat from the U.S.

The Department of Homeland Security and the State Department published the new exemptions Wednesday in the Federal Register to narrow a ban in the Immigration and Nationality Act excluding refugees and asylum seekers who had provided limited material support, no matter how minor, to terrorists.

“These exemptions cover five kinds of limited material support that have adversely and unfairly affected refugees and asylum seekers with no tangible connection to terrorism: material support that was insignificant in amount or provided incidentally in the course of everyday social, commercial, family or humanitarian interactions, or under significant pressure,” a DHS official explained to The Daily Caller.

Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson and Secretary of State John Kerry signed the exemptions. DHS contends that the law change is “commonsense” and that immigration procedures will remain the same in other respects. (Excerpt) Read more at dailycaller.com ...

I TOLD you ALL Joni had a RINO Streak to her.

[TomGuy]

Sounds like Joni is still a bit dizzy-headed from being selected to give the Republican reply to the SOTU.

How many pieces of silver, how many perks, before she succumbs to Potomac Fever?

If she hasn’t already decided regarding illegal immigration, then she is already knee-deep in with the establishment Republicans.

[dowcaet]

I see a bunch of you are ready to throw her to the hogs. Yes, it is a bad sign she’s already waffling on immigration, a signature issue for all of us. Let’s see how she votes on a number of issues before we put her in the RINO column, but this is very disappointing to say the least.

[apocalypto]

We need to contact Joni Ernst. It can make a difference. From her comments, I believe she can be influenced by an outpouring of our arguments against “amnesty,” “immigration reform,” etc.

She hasn’t made a decision yet. Instead of jumping the gun and condemning her as a RINO, see what she does first.

Where did I condemn her as a RINO?

[EternalVigilance]

One very old American definition of an “honest politician” is “one who stays bought.”

She was backed heavily by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. So, it will be interesting to see if she is an honest politician or not.

“The national business group the U.S. Chamber of Commerce recommitted itself to Republican Joni Ernst’s bid for the U.S. Senate on Tuesday, pledging “all-in” support in her race against Democrat Bruce Braley.

The Chamber, a massive lobbying and fundraising force in Washington, D.C., previously supported Ernst in the GOP primary earlier this year, airing TV ads on her behalf in the days leading up to her surprisingly easy victory over four other candidates.

That effort will be redoubled in her run to defeat Braley in the November general election, Chamber Political Director Rob Engstrom said.

“This is Tier One priority race for the Chamber of Commerce,” Engstrom said in an interview.”

“Where did I condemn her as a RINO?”

Sorry. Not directed at you. General statement.

[RedMDer]

I thought maybe something that I posted and someone else may take it the same way.

[EQAndyBuzz]

““This is Tier One priority race for the Chamber of Commerce,” Engstrom said in an interview.””

Didn’t Palin support her? Then again, Palin also supported Kelly Ayotte and we saw how that went.
