Boehner Caves, Now Supports Obama's Executive Amnesty with Tax Dollars

As expected, Speaker John Boehner has caved and now will support President Barack Obama’s executive amnesty.

On Tuesday, Boehner plans to bring to the floor of the House of Representatives a bill that funds Obama’s amnesty in its entirety for the rest of the fiscal year.

“Speaker John Boehner announced that the House will vote Tuesday on the Senate’s bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security, a move that could enrage a small pocket of conservatives but will end the impasse over the agency’s funding,” Politico wrote in a breaking news alert.

This flip-flop comes after months of Boehner saying he wouldn’t do this.

“The House has acted. We’ve done our job. Senate Democrats are the ones putting us in this precarious position,” Boehner said on Fox News Sunday recently.

It’s unclear whether the vote will pass later on Tuesday, but if it does there are likely to be serious consequences against Boehner for having now flip-flopped into supporting Obama’s executive amnesty.

It’s interesting that Boehner chose the day that Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu is to address Congress as cover for his cave on executive amnesty, and may begin to call into question his motives behind inviting the Israeli leader to speak to Congress. It could have all been a part of a show to distract Republicans into supporting Obama’s executive amnesty, as he now does.

You can twist anything, to make it appear to support YOUR way of thinking.

What has happened is that some of the lesser than Neanderthals among the Libertarians that are trying to take over the Republican party FINALLY recognized that refusing to fund Homeland Security was laying our borders wide open to anyone that wanted to come in.

There is already a Federal Court Injunction that prevents the administration from implementing this "Executive Order". They simply can not proceed with this. This will remain on hold, until the case eventually makes it to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Nobody "aims now to support Obama's executive amnesty with tax dollars". Only someone that is incapable of reading English, or who is so dim that they can not understand what is happening, would even begin to think that this is the case!

Tying an undesirable (to the Republicans) funding measure to a desirable, or better yet, critical one is just politics. Been going on in the U.S. since 1776, and in older countries even longer.

Nothing new, and not really interesting. Politics is supposed to be about give and take. The most dangerous thing in politics is an official who will never change her position, or if you prefer, flip flop.
