You must have missed the other 300+ bills the house passed and sent to the Senate where they all died on Harry’s desk.

It’s understandable, the media and the hard left have created the false narrative that House Republicans have done nothing.

Just glanced through them, I am not seeing a bipartisan immigration bill that the House approved...Oh wait, it was the Senate that approved the bill by a greater than 2/3 majority and Harry Reid....I mean John Boehner refuses to allow it to go to the floor for a vote but complains that the President took action.   Gotta deal with the growing Nazi problem first I guess.

Does the law require the House to take up a Senate bill? - NOPE

Well the reason you did not see the Senate Bill is because Harry Reid NEVER sent the immigration bill that passed the Senate to the House of Representatives.  

Reid has refused to send it to the House, protecting the bill from being blue slipped.

The Republican-led House may vote this week to undo President Barack Obama’s executive actions on immigration, House Speaker John Boehner told lawmakers Tuesday as he sought to give outraged conservatives an outlet to vent over Obama’s move without shutting down the government.

News Buzzard wrote:That's nothing more than procedural maneuvering with the bill. The bottom line is Boehner said it was dead on arrival, so don't be blaming that nonsense on Reid with you right wing talking points. Now you're stuck with Obama's immigration order, and you know there is nothing you can do about it!! I guess Obama called your bluff, right? "Poison the well"!!

In America, laws should always matter. These illegal immigrants have broken the immigration laws already on the books. Their massive numbers are a drain on local communities, increase crime and provide a push toward higher taxes which they don't pay.

America should not reward those who have successfully made a mockery of those who are waiting in line to become citizens of the greatest country on Earth.
