Congress Just REJECTED This Barack Obama Plan in a MAJOR WAY! (MUST READ)

Someone finally grew some Balls to uphold the Constitution, the thing they were supposed to do when sworn in.


The U.S. House of Representatives issued a crushing blow to the radical Obama agenda. The House voted recently to stop “Dreamers” – undocumented illegal aliens which Obama unconstitutionally granted Amnesty to – from signing up for the military. The wording was sneaked into an annual defense policy bill, and ripping it out of the bill is a giant defeat for Obama’s amnesty agenda.
Republicans are FINALLY drawing a line in the sand by telling Obama that it’s time to enforce America’s laws and secure the border from illegals:
Republicans, though, said the effect would be to endorse Mr. Obama’s 2012 amnesty, which granted temporary status to young adult illegal immigrants who had completed a certain level of education and had kept out of major criminal trouble. GOP lawmakers said Mr. Obama was acting beyond his powers when he issued his policy.
“This Congress cannot send a message to ratify the president’s lawless actions,” said Rep. Steve King, an Iowa Republican who said he would have had to vote against the defense bill if the Dreamer provision was left intact.
Rep. Mo Brooks, the Alabama Republican who led the fight to nix the Dreamer language, said allowing them to enlist would push Americans out of the military.
As a vast majority of Democrats shamefully endorse amnesty for political reasons, they slammed Republicans saying the vote was about an “anti-immigrant mindset” from the GOP. But this is really just about securing our border and defending the Constitution from being eroded!
Rep. Brooks posted a longer statement on stripping out the language, and pointed out an important fact:
It makes no sense to me that, at the same time the Army is downsizing and issuing pink slips to American soldiers serving in Afghanistan, there are Congressmen who seek to help illegal aliens deprive American citizens and lawful immigrants of military service opportunities.
As The Hill explained:
The bill keeps ceilings on defense spending in place under the 2011 budget deal that introduced sequestration spending limits, but would increase funding to the Pentagon’s war fund.
The legislation authorizes roughly $523 billion in base Defense Department spending. Another $90 billion is included in the war fund, formally known as the Overseas Contingency Operations fund.
It includes $38 billion more for the war fund than had been requested by the White House. The extra spending is not offset by spending cuts or tax hikes.
The White House also opposes language in the bill meant to prevent the closing of Guantanamo Bay.
