So I just heard there's not a chance rethugs will approve of

[babylonsister]

the immigration bill President Obama talked about tonight. On Lawrence O'Donnell.

Do they have options?

I heard it is a done deal.

1. Try to elect a Republican POTUS to sign away the Executive order...

next time around

2. They can defund it is about the only thing they can do

From what I read it's 100% legal and it will pass the SCOTUS if they try to push the issue.

3. They actually can't defund it, either.

It would be “impossible" to defund President Obama’s executive actions on immigration through a government spending bill, the House Appropriations Committee said Thursday.

In a statement released by Committee Chairman Hal Rogers's (R-Ky.) office hours before Obama's scheduled national address, the committee said the primary agency responsible for implementing Obama's actions is funded entirely by user fees.
As a result, the committee said the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS) agency would be able to continue to collect fees and carry out its operations even if the government shut down.

That's one thing that every illegal will have to go through in the process.
