House Republicans will meet behind closed doors on Dec. 2 to discuss how they'll respond to Pres. Obama's executive amnesty and work permits for 5 million illegal aliens. Politico is reporting that GOP Leaders will pitch a two-part plan:
- a spending bill that will fund most of the government through Sept. 2015 with short-term funding for DHS
- a bill introduced by Florida Rep. Ted Yoho that would prevent the executive branch from exempting "categories of persons unlawfully present in the United States from removal under the immigration laws."
The short-term DHS bill will not defund Pres. Obama's executive amnesty.
The Yoho bill is nothing more than a
'shiny object' meant to fool the Republican conference into doing nothing. There is no chance that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid would bring the bill to the Senate floor for a vote, and even if he did, it wouldn't pass or be signed into law by Pres. Obama.
The only way House Republicans can stop Obama's amnesty is to defund the action.
Please call your House Representative and tell them the Yoho bill doesn't go far enough; they must defund Pres. Obama's executive amnesty. You can call toll free at 800-971-7441.
