The Boehner Betrayal: Here Are the 75 House Republicans Who Voted to Fund Obama’s Amnesty

The Boehner Betrayal: Here Are the 75 House Republicans Who Voted to Fund Obama’s Amnesty

The debate is over. The “battle” is finished without a single shot being fired.
House Republican “leaders” have caved, and handed Barack Obama a huge victory in the fight over the DHS budget for 2015, by fully funding Obama’s executive amnesty. Using the news tsunami of Bibi Netanyahu’s speech to Congress as cover, House leaders today muscled through the “clean” bill to fully fund DHS,  Speaker John Boehner surrendered, in a disastrous deal that could forever alter the landscape of American political power.
It was so toxic, Boehner needed Democrat votes to pass it — 176 Republican patriots abandoned him and voted against it.
But it wasn’t enough. 75 Republican turncoats voted with the Dems to pass it (see full list below)
The New York Daily News reports that Boehner addressed his deeply divided caucus Tuesday morning, arguing that the issue affecting millions of illegal immigrants is now in the hands of the courts, and that Congress should move on with other business.
Many conservatives have long argued that allowing Obama’s amnesty order to be funded means the president’s program will continue, despite what the courts may rule, as the administration has previously shown its willingness to defy or bypass court orders.
And once amnesty is in place, critics contend, non-citizens falling under its protections could well be put on a path to the voting booth that would give their Democrat enablers a virtual lock on national political power.
Insanely, Boehner actually admitted to his GOP colleagues that Obama’s actions are unconstitutional, before he agreed, in effect, to support them.
A true profile in cowardice.
I am as outraged and frustrated as you at the lawless and unconstitutional actions of this president,” Boehner told his caucus, according to aides. “I believe this decision — considering where we are — is the right one for this team, and the right one for this country.”
The backstabbing comes just two days after the third-ranking Republican in the House, Majority Whip Steve Scalise, assured Fox News that GOP leadership had made no deal with Democrats that would fund DHS through the fiscal year.
Now, such a deal has just been approved by the GOP-led House and is on its way to Obama for his signature.
In the House and the Senate — both of which are controlled by Republican majorities — conservative members had demanded that GOP leaders make Homeland Security funding contingent on concessions from Obama regarding his dictates about amnesty for some five million illegals.
But their demands were ignored, in favor of Obama’s, in the massive betrayal that was to come.
Below is the full list of 75 House Republicans to voted with the Democrats (and Obama) to pass the “clean” DHS spending bill that funded the executive amnesty.
