Democrats/Chamber of Commerce win AGAIN!
The House voted Tuesday to fund the Homeland Security Department through the end of the budget year, ending a protracted standoff that centered on objections to President Obama's controversial immigration actions.
The House voted 257-167 for the legislation, sending it to Obama's desk. The final legislation includes no immigration provisions, and was carried over the finish line with mostly Democratic votes.
The result is a victory for the Obama administration. Republicans had tried to use the DHS funding bill as the vehicle to reverse Obama's immigration executive actions. But Democrats repeatedly blocked the move, insisting they pass the spending bill with no riders attached.
House Speaker John Boehner, faced with diminishing options, earlier in the day told fellow Republican lawmakers he would drop the immigration demands.
"I am as outraged and frustrated as you at the lawless and unconstitutional actions of this president," Boehner told his caucus on Tuesday morning, according to a source.
But he said he believed the decision to vote on a "clean" bill, "considering where we are -- is the right one for this team, and the right one for this country."
Two party system......................:rotflmao:
I guess the RINO's need the House, Senate AND the White House to do anything to stop the Dems.
Hey RINO's...................:finger
