Meanwhile, Boehner & McConnell just destroyed the United States, barring one judge who will be ignored.
Was not funding DHS going to deport illegals?
It wasn't clear that it was going to stop Obama from doing anything wrt illegals.
The Dems were claiming that charging the illegals those 'fees' would pay for processing them even without a DHS bill..
Saw this the other day here, he explains exactly why the DHS funding was going to get passed. which seemed obvious to me. Don't take hostages that you are not ready to kill.
Cruz :If the GOP leadership had really wanted to stop amnesty, they would not have attached the provision defunding Obama’s amnesty to the DHS funding bill.
They would have attached it to a bill defunding the Environmental Protection Agency, “or some other non-essential agency.”
He described such agencies as “hostages the GOP could afford to hold.”
Cruz insisted GOP leaders knew all along that rank-and-file Republicans would never vote to defund the DHS during a time of increasing terror threats at home and abroad.
