DHS/AMNESTY A BIG CON JOB

When the president sent Congress the Department Of Homeland Security Budget he included funding with legislation to fund 5 million illegals. The President has been using Executive orders to get his way on many different issues. The Congress would not fund the illegals and took the position that it was unconstitutional. It passed a bill stripping the illegal funding.  The bill passed and went on to the Senate. The Senate needed 60 votes to pass the House bill. With only 54 Republicans it couldn't muster the majority. A number of RINOS made the task of passing the House Bill even harder.


What we have in the Senate is a political game in which the Democrats stated if the bill, the President wanted, didn't pass, Homeland Security would  shut down. Not true, they could still work although their pay would be delayed until funding was passed.  It was a scare tactic and con job. In the meantime the States  challenged the President's Amnesty effort in court. The court ruled for an injunction of the funding of the 5 million illegals.  The states would have been burdened with supporting the illegals.  The President's action would have given illegals a bonus and other benefits including the eventual right to vote. The President is in charge of the Executive Branch to carry out laws not create laws.  The Congress  creates laws. We are not sure when the court will rule on the injunction, but it appears that it will have to go to the Supreme Court for resolution.


Senate Majority Leader McConnell recommended 2 separate bills, one to fund DHS and one for funding illegals. This would eliminate the threat of shutting down DHS and eliminate the Democratic leverage to blackmail the Republicans into passing Obama's funding request in fear of shutting down DHS. 


It's unfortunate that Republicans like McCain, Graham, Rubio, Johnson and others fell prey to the Dem Game and would rather play politics instead of standing up for what is right and not to be intimidated by threats. John McCain said he was ashamed, well he should be. In fact the entire Senate should be ashamed for playing these games instead of fulfilling their oath to uphold the Constitution.


I don't know what kind of people we send to Washington but it demands a letter, phone call to your representatives to start doing their jobs. We don't deserve to be conned or lied to by the President or our representatives. Using blackmail to get elected officials to vote a certain way is not acceptable. It's a disgrace. The current people in DC are dragging the country down and they will be looked upon, in history, as the ones who destroyed a great country.
