The voters have spoken. They gave a mandate to Republicans in Congress that pretty clearly communicated the imperative of stopping presidential lawlessness and especially his behavior threatening public security. The leaders of the House of Representatives, though, seem not to have gotten the memo.
The first test will be whether they will block President Obama’s unlawful — and effectively permanent — transformation of millions of illegal aliens into legal residents, workers and recipients of this country’s generous welfare, social security, education and other benefits. That could happen as soon as tomorrow.
Unfortunately, the House leadership apparently has neither any real interest in — nor any practical plan — for preventing such a national security, economic, and political disaster.
We need Congress to deny funding for the implementation of any illegal presidential amnesty. And we need it done now.
