8/1/14, "House Passes Bill to Block Obama's Planned Executive Amnesty," Breitbart, Matthew Boyle
"The House of Representatives voted Friday evening to pass a bill
that blocks President Barack Obama from continuing or expanding
executive amnesty via the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)
program or programs like it.
The bill passed 216 to 192, with 11 Republicans voting against it and 4 Democrats voting for it.
The Republicans who voted against are
Reps. Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL),
Jeff Denham (R-CA),
Cory Gardner (R-CO),
Adam Kinzinger (R-IL),
David
Reichert (R-WA),
David Valadao (R-CA),
Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL),
Joe
Heck (R-NV),
Fred Upton (R-MI),
Mark Amodei (R-NV), and
Mike Coffman
(R-CO).
The Democrats who voted for it are
Reps. John Barrow (D-GA),
Nick
Rahall (D-WV),
Mike McIntyre (D-NC), and
Collin Peterson (D-MN).
The vote caps a lengthy battle between conservatives and the House
GOP leadership and marks a new point in the GOP’s efforts to fight the
Democrats on immigration, rallying Republicans against the left heading
into the midterm election season.
The floor debate on this bill and the previous one Friday evening
were bloody fights between Republicans, who seem to have found their
backbone against liberal immigration policies again, and Democrats, who
are using this battle to push for a widespread amnesty via a
comprehensive immigration reform bill.
At one point, Rep. Steve King (R-IA) noted that the sergeant-at-arms
of the House of Representatives had to come down to the floor to restore
order after Democrats loudly protested the effort by the Republican
Party to block President Obama’s planned executive amnesty."
