President Barack Obama should use his executive power to order immigration reform despite Republican threats, House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer said Wednesday.

"I join with my colleagues in urging the president to take action," he said, "And I urge my Republican friends to understand that that action would be temporary and can be replaced with a bill that we pass through the Congress of the United States."

Republicans have responded to Obama's plans with intense metaphors.

“...”And I urge my Republican friends to understand that that action would be temporary and can be replaced with a bill that we pass through the Congress of the United States.”
******************************************************************************************************

Bullcrap! To paraphrase the poet, I’d like to admonish ALL Congressional Republicans (current plus newly elected) to “NOT GO GENTLE INTO THAT GOOD NIGHT” of DemocRAT tyranny and lawlessness.

We, along with ALL good Americans are watching the DC goings on. DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION OR RESIGN.

Uh, how about the legislative branch deal with this, as they are supposed to, and that c**** s***er stop acting like he can make laws!?

Flipping roaches these people are.

Nothing Obama can do can legalize illegals.

All he can do is order law enforcement to not do anything about any illegals they come across.

This is worse than deeming Obamacare passed. Amnesty passed in the Senate, and Obama is going to unilaterally pretend it passed the House too until the House finally passes it. Apparently the letter of the law and the proper steps for passing legislation are irrelevant if extremists on the left want something to be done their way.

Not one inch of ground should the republicans give, not one inch.

Unfortunately, I fully expect them to give to an extent that could only be measured in miles....

Representatives urging Executive usurpation of Congress’s authority should be censured if not expelled.

The next two months are going to be a very dangerous time for our country.

Defund whatever the pos commie passes by executive order. After the handover in January, begin impeachment proceedings, and carry it through to trying and convicting him.

Dear Republicans: Whatever the Dems says not to do, do it, and vice versa.

Too little, too late...

Once this nightmare is unleashed on the populace, it will be too late to reverse...If they are allowed to vote, there won’t be a “President Cruz”, unless he runs as a democrat.
