Fox News: Reports on moves by Speaker Boehner to get support for a budget but without funding the new Obama rules, the article notes the following, " The House would vote later this week for a largely symbolic measure disapproving Obama's executive actions......The plan would fund most elements of the government for the remainder of the current fiscal year, which ends Sept. 30, 2015. But, under one proposal, it would only fund immigration-related activities until early next year "
Lets Get Real:
The above Boehner plan should allow Conservative Republicans to blow off steam when it comes to immigration and set a battle for early next year when the Republicans control the Congress. Of course there has been talk of shutting down the US Government and only funding social security and defence, that comes with risks for the Republican nominee for President in 2016. Of course if the candidate is Jeb Bush he could argue that he is a moderate and thus fighting extreme right on his side and the left on the Democratic side, not sure such a wise plan would work in this 24/7 news world. It depends how far the Republicans want to take this, this blog has argued that the Republicans should out do Obama, offer faster way for those illegals in the US to become citizens, It logical because it going to happen, might as well get the credit for it, and its the right thing to do, the US is not going to break up millions of families to make a point. The Gipper would not have approved. If they Republicans really want to fight, they should wait in till next year, when they control the Congress,
