GOP congressman offers bill to reverse Obama immigration move

Rep. David Schweikert (R-AZ) has introduced legislation that would stop President Obama's recent executive action involving the children of illegal immigrants and their ability to stay in the United States.

Specifically, it prevents the Department of Homeland Security from enforcing a presidential executive action as immigration law.

"Instead of working with Congress to secure our border and reform our immigration policy, Obama sought to circumvent Congress once again," Schweikert said in a statement. "This thinly veiled political ploy is detrimental to Americans and while President Obama asks the Department of Homeland Security to 'look the other way' on immigration policy, I ask him to respect the rule of law."

It's not clear if this bill will be brought to the House floor for a vote, as House Speaker John Boehner failed today to say if he supports or opposes Obama's new policy; he instead said the new policy makes it harder to achieve long-standing immigration reform.

Oh, PLEASE, let the teabagger/knuckle-dragging retards be stupid enough to try to pass legislation to kill this!!! PLEASE!!!! :pop :woo hoo:

If the Hispanic population weren't already turned off by the Romney tack-to-the-right to build the fence longer, wider, higher and more-lethally-electrified than all of the rest of the GOP field put together, then trying to pass legislation to nullify this meager action will put the last nail in the coffin.

Every day I keep thinking the paleo-cons can't possibly be that stupid, and every day they prove me wrong...

Those paleos have about 45% of the popular vote and about 230 of the electoral vote so I wouldn't dismiss them so soon.
All they need is for Barack to make a big misstep or for Europe to fall further into chaos.

So you think executive orders to legalize millions is the way our country should do things? Or are you just happy for pandering to politics. I know doing the right thing vs. the politically expedient thing is a foreign idea for Obama....

Imagine if Mitt was sidestepping the Dem Senate with executive orders? Think the Dems here would be pissed?

Good job congressman.
