Boehner: 'All Options' on Table to Stop Obama Action on Immigration

House Speaker John Boehner on Thursday said "all options are on the table" to prevent President Barack Obama from taking executive action on immigration, including the threat of another government shutdown.

Congress has until mid-December to act to prevent another shutdown.

Boehner’s assertion contradicts what incoming Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said earlier in the day. "We’ll not be shutting the government down or threatening to default on the national debt," McConnell said.

2. Someone please read the tealeaves and tell me just how THIS will be the fault of Democrats?

The teabaggers and GOP always twist things to give the illusion its Obama and the Democrats fault. They ALWAYS take the lead on misinformation. But, they control both houses in Congress...so, where is the stink bomb planted?

Despite the alcoholic content of your breath, you really aren't a real fire threat.

6. The President needs to think this through

Using executive action to try and fix immigration is going to back fire .

This will assure a win in 2016 for Republicans

8. I agree

Most Americans would rather see some sort of negotiated settlement in Congress over legalizing illegal immigrants, and not just some sort of executive order to deal with it, and provide another magnet to encourage it.

cry instead?

9. They have NO EARTHLY IDEA what they are doing or what

their position will be. They are so used to "NO, if Obama wants it" they can not come up with any rational thoughts or plans about future strategy. Besides, they have no soul - which really helps when making a major decision.
