Texas Congressman: How To Defeat Amnesty/Executive Orders
The Democrat plan to give amnesty to millions of illegal aliens in the U.S. can be thwarted, despite apparent wavering by House Republican leadership, contends a Texas congressman.In an interview with Michael Savage on his Savage Nation nationally syndicated show Friday, Rep. John Culberson, R-Texas, insisted, furthermore, that if President Obama tries to advance amnesty or any other initiative through illegal executive orders, he can be stopped, because the House holds the purse strings and can cut off funding for actions that cant be justified legally. The power of the purse is the secret to this guy the most illegal, unlawful president in American history, said Culberson, who had just returned from a GOP retreat in Cambridge, Md., where House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, distributed a two-page list of broad principles on immigration. Rep. John Culberson, R-Texas Seven months after the Senate passed a bipartisan bill with a path to citizenship, House Republican leaders Thursday said for the first time they would be open to allowing illegal aliens to live and work legally in the U.S. but would not offer a special path to citizenship. That step in the direction of the Senate plan has many border-security-first advocates, including Savage, worried. But Culberson emphasized that Boehner told his Republican colleagues in the House that he wouldnt allow a bill go to the floor unless a majority of the Republican-controlled House is in favor. Boehner, according to Culberson, told Republican House members that the outline they were handed, which was issued to the press, was simply for discussion purposes. Savage pointed out that along with Boehner, Republican House leaders support giving legal status to illegals, including Majority Leader Eric Cantor, Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy and Paul Ryan. But Culberson insisted there is hope if citizens contact their representatives and express their opposition to amnesty. Culberson explained that a majority of the House Republican majority is very conservative, committed to the Constitution, free markets and limited government get the government out of our lives and leave us the heck alone. The country doesnt want it. The Hispanic community doesnt want it. The Hispanic community wants law and order, safe streets and good schools and a good economy and good jobs like everyone else. It isnt complicated, said Culberson. Posted by: Omavising Ebbemp9815 2014-02-02 |
