Another Bill Passed 8/1/14
House Passes Bill to Block Obama's Planned Executive
Amnesty by Matthew Boyle
The
House of Representatives voted Friday evening to pass a bill that blocks
President Barack Obama from continuing or expanding executive amnesty via the
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program or programs like it.
The bill passed 216 to
192, with 11 Republicans voting against it and 4 Democrats voting for it.
The Republicans who voted
against are Reps. Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL), Jeff Denham (R-CA), Cory Gardner
(R-CO), Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), David Reichert (R-WA), David Valadao (R-CA),
Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL), Joe Heck (R-NV), Fred Upton (R-MI), Mark Amodei
(R-NV), and Mike Coffman (R-CO).
The Democrats who voted
for it are Reps. John Barrow (D-GA), Nick Rahall (D-WV), Mike McIntyre (D-NC),
and Collin Peterson (D-MN).
The vote caps a lengthy
battle between conservatives and the House GOP leadership and marks a new point
in the GOP’s efforts to fight the Democrats on immigration, rallying
Republicans against the left heading into the midterm election season.
The floor debate on this
bill and the previous one Friday evening were bloody fights between
Republicans, who seem to have found their backbone against liberal immigration
policies again, and Democrats, who are using this battle to push for a
widespread amnesty via a comprehensive immigration reform bill.
At one point, Rep. Steve
King (R-IA) noted that the sergeant-at-arms of the House of Representatives had
to come down to the floor to restore order after Democrats loudly protested the
effort by the Republican Party to block President Obama’s planned executive
amnesty.
Comments
It’s not as if Republicans didn’t pass
anything. It appears they weighed in and
passed Bills stating that Obama cannot change current Immigration Law. Boehner continues to resist defunding Amnesty
in the budget. If states refuse to issue
drivers’ licenses and Social Security fails to issue cards, Obama’s Amnesty may
fail to have a lasting effect.
