** Pay attention to the Bluster and Talk instead of Action** The GOP fight against Obamas Executive/emperial Immigration House Appropriations Committee Hal Rogers, has said it would be “impossible” to roll back this executive action because the agency that oversees deportations is fee-funded and independent of Congressional bankrolling. Conservatives who oppose the executive action say Congress maintains a constitutional role in funding the government. The House is set to move this week on largely symbolic legislation that would fund the agency but also roll back several of the presidents’ immigration initiatives, including the new policy that would defer deportations for millions of undocumented Americans who have citizen children and 2012’s move that allowed undocumented children raised in the United States to attend college or enlist in the military. House Republican leaders know this bill cannot pass the Senate and certainly would not be signed into law by the president, but they believe that by moving any bill this week, they are laying the groundwork to avoid a shutdown by giving Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., enough time to craft a bill that could pass before the Feb. 27 deadline. -- At the end of the day the funding issue is being handed to the Senate. The Constitution says all funding must originate in the House. Herein we see the problem in the GOP.... Dance A Little Sidestep https://youtube/watch?v=PHkT3RJJBCA
