Why do this? Simply to give McConnell more breathing room before the IDIOT wises up and eliminates the 60 vote closure requirement for THIS particular legislation PREVENTING Obama from usurping Congress’ legislative power? Why is McConnell too COWARDLY to take this simple step?
If the Department of Homeland Security is to “shut down”, let it be because Obama VETOED the funding legislation because it defunded part of his lawlessness. GROW SOME BALLS MCCONNELL!
McConnell is not on our side. That should answer all your questions.
The article says that one reason is to see what happens with Obama's emergency lawsuit.
Presumably, if it goes nowhere it gives the GOP more ammunition to strip funding from the illegal immigrants since Obama's EO will have been rejected by even a court which is friendly to them.

Is Obama trying to blackmail congress and create so much panic in the American people and Republicans in Congress that Congress will have no choice but to fund the Homeland Security bill stalled in Congress?
(Obama is such a two-faced hypocrite. On the one hand, he tries to reassure us that ISIS is a jayvee team, and so, according to Obama and his thugs, they really pose no true threat to the United States homeland, while, on the other hand, Obama----in order to try to get his version of the Homeland Security bill passed that grants all types of freebies instantly to 4 to 10 million illegals----warns us of terrible things that terrorists will do to us if Congress doesn't give Homeland Security everything it wants, such as broad powers to hand illegals all kinds of goodies like work permits and access to benefits like Social Security. )
Obama's blackmail attempt goes something like this:
1. Obama says: If you don't fund Homeland Security for the next year by giving it all the money it says it needs to fight terrorism---everyone knows that Obama is referring to Islamic terrorists, but he won't use the word "Islamic". What an idiot---terrorists will run wild over the United States, attacking such sites as malls and other buildings to the point that Americans will live in constant fear and terror for their lives.
2. On the other hand, according to Obama's blackmail attempt, if you give Homeland Security all the money it says it needs to fight terrorism, and, at the same time, also give it money and unlimited power to give 4 to 10 million illegals instant access to such things as work permits, housing, and benefits like Social Security, the United States will be a much safer and greater nation forever and ever. What a bunch of horse manure.
3. Hogwash: I say Hogwash. I say that it will slowly destroy the United States as we know it if we give Homeland Security broad powers to quickly process 4 to 10 million illegal aliens so that the illegals have instant access to such things as jobs, housing and benefits like Social Security.
Giving all those illegals all that they demand will do more irreversible damage to our towns and cities than any terrorists' attacks will ever do.
4. So I say this to Republican Congressmen: We take our chances with terrorists and we shutdown Homeland Security. That is, we take our chances for the next year with a stripped-down Homeland Security and hope that terrorists attacks will not be as horrible as Obama and his thugs paint them out to be.
(I believe it is safe to say that most illegals don't care about Islamic terrorists. In fact, I doubt if many illegals have any idea what Islam and ISIS are about. They are probably puzzled why Americans are so scared of this ISIS, a group far, far away on another continent nobody cares about. Most of the illegals only care about themselves. And the rest of America be damned.)
5. My point is this: Giving 4 to 10 million illegals instant access to jobs and benefits like Social Security will destroy more of the United States as we know it than any ISIS terrorist attacks in the coming year will ever destroy, even if we have to fight Islamic terrorists with a shutdown or stripped-down Homeland Security.
6. To the Republicans in Congress: Don't fall for Obama's blackmail attempt as he tries to persuade you to pass the Homeland Security bill so that he can legalize 4 to 10+ million illegals. Don't fall for Obama's scare tactics.
7. Handing Homeland Security almost unlimited broad powers this year to give 4 to 10 million illegals instant access to jobs and to such social benefits as Social Security benefits without a fight would be a horrible mistake, because such a surrender will do more severe damage to what we know as the American way of life than any ISIS terrorist attack that may hit the United States in the next year.
8. Again, I hope that Congress does not surrender to Obama's blackmail attempt when it comes to this horrible Homeland Security bill that gives Homeland Security almost unlimited powers to legalize 4 to 10+ million illegal aliens.
McConnell is controlled by Oligarchs who have wanted comprehensive immigration reform since before 2006.
GW Bush pushed comprehensive immigration reform in 2006 and lost Congress that year as a result. Now Oligarchs have got Obama playing out Executive Amnesty with the same intent. Nothing has changed except federal courts have issued an injunction against the Obama Administration.
Boehner will cave. He always does because he is weak and incompetent. And he’s also bought off by the same Oligarchs.
Who are the Oligarchs?
They are members of the Democratic Alliance which is a progressive global organization that manages money for political purposes. The Oligarchs themselves are not communists or progressives, they are power players with fascist intent.
Now the battle is waged between Executive Amnesty and Legislative Amnesty. Executive Amnesty is stopped by court injunction; Legislative Amnesty is not nor can it be. McConnell will not bring up comprehensive immigration reform but he’s very pleased to see he has the chance to fund Executive Amnesty while appearing to oppose it. He’s very two-faced that way; truly a despicable person.
If he succeeds in funding it, and it looks like he will, then there is still the court injunction. The issue will then be does funding Executive Amnesty provide de facto legislative law for Obama’s executive actions? Because if it does, then the injunction basis may be mired in opposing Congressional intent. There are still APA violations and burden and harm to states to be adjudicated. But if Obama takes the DHS funding of Executive Amnesty as Congressional authorization to proceed, then there will be a Constitutional crisis between the Executive and Judiciary Branches with Congress acting low profile.
McConnell and Boehner must be deposed ASAP along with their inner ring. They are the worst that could exist at this time in history. Boehner seems cool now but he will cave, he always does.
