John Boehner Says GOP Will Move Forward With Plan That Could Risk DHS Shutdown
Posted: Jan 8, 2015
After gunmen attacked a satirical French newspaper on Wednesday, House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said Republicans won't back away from a fight over immigration that risks halting funding for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
"I believe that the president's executive actions with regard to immigration are outside of the Constitution and outside of his powers, and I believe that we can deal with that issue in the Department of Homeland Security bill without jeopardizing the security of our country," he told reporters when asked whether the Paris attacks would change the GOP's strategy on funding DHS.
The department is set to run out of funding at the end of February, after a deal cut last month excluded it from longer-term appropriations made for the rest of the government. Now, Republicans are working on a plan to fund DHS that includes measures to block President Barack Obama's executive actions on immigration, which would give work authorization to up to 5 million people.
If those measures led to a DHS shutdown -- and there's a very real chance they could, given Obama's opposition to efforts to kill his programs -- both parties would likely blame each other. But Republicans will have to determine how to fight Obama on immigration while funding DHS, even if they think the ultimate blame for a shutdown should be placed on the president.

AMEN AGAIN!

Guess what? The president will not be facing - re-election in 2016
[ In Reply To ..]unlike GOP reps and senators. I think he's figured that out, given his expressed willingness to put his veto pen to the good use for which it was intended. Any votes on bills and measures that go on record will clearly delineate which party is and is not responsible for such nitwit notions like defunding or shutting down DHS come 2016.
Bring it.
Thank God for small miracles! - NPC
[ In Reply To ..]Only 743 days to go!
Do you realize the damage he could do in that time? - good grief

Yes, I do, but I have hope - NPC
[ In Reply To ..]that he will get away with less than he has gotten away with thus far, and 743 days is better than 2900-plus days (the length of his 2 terms). I personally need something positive to shoot for and that's about all I can come up with at this time.
Nothing, compared to damage the republicans - will likely do during the same period.
[ In Reply To ..].
Clinton, Warren, Biden, Dean, Guitierrez, Manchin, O'Malley, Rendell, - Sanders, Clooney, Cuomo,
[ In Reply To ..]The list goes on, take your pick. By the time 2016 rolls around, the GOP will have overplayed its hand a hundred times over and the 113th Obstructors will be well known as the 114th Destructors. You can take that to the bank. Aside from that, their divided ranks find winning national elections without the benefit of gerrymander WAY too challenging. Just yesterday, I heard that anywhere from 1/4th to 1/3 of the GOP fracture is ready to bolt.

No DHS Shutdown?Feb 25, 2015
Three days before a partial Homeland Security shutdown, lawmakers cleared the way Wednesday for Senate passage of legislation to fund the agency without immigration-related provisions opposed by President Barack Obama. Approval in the Senate would send the issue to the House, where some conservatives derided the plan as a surrender to the White House. Other Republicans predicted it would clear, but Speaker John Boehner declined to say if he would put it to a vote. "I'm waiting for the Sen ...

The White House is insisting the top number is $73B but that ALSO includes the $43B already cut in the short term budgets to keep the government running. The budget cuts the Democrats want are not cuts at all according to the Republicans. "It's just smoke and mirrors." It looks lik ...
