House Votes to Block 'Dreamer' Deportation Policy
Rep. Steve King

The House on Thursday voted to block a presidential order to relax the deportation policy for "Dreamers," or young people who entered the U.S. illegally as children.
According to The Hill, the White House and Democrats have since harshly criticized those who voted for an amendment to the 2014 spending bill that would withhold funding to implement the president's order to ease up on the deportation of young people and focus more on illegal immigrants who have committed crimes.
"This amendment, sponsored by Rep. Steve King, runs contrary to our most deeply-held values as Americans," the White House said of the Iowa Republican's add-on to the bill.
"It asks law enforcement to treat these Dreamers the same way as they would violent criminals. It's wrong. It's not who we are. And it will not become law."
Republicans oppose the president's position on deportation, calling it an attempt to selectively enforce U.S. immigration law.
"The point here is… the president does not have the authority to waive immigration law, nor does he have the authority to create it out of thin air," King said during debate Wednesday night, according to The Hill.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said via Twitter that King's amendment makes the 2014 spending bill "dead on arrival" when it reaches the Senate for a vote.

Led Zep - Immigrant Song
A-ah-ahh-ah, ah-ah-ahh-ah
We come from the land of the weed and snow,
From the afternoon sun where the hot springs flow.
The hammer of the gods will drive our folks to new lands,
To fight the horde, singing and crying: America, I am coming!
On we sweep with threshing legs, Our only goal will be the southern border.
Ah-ah-ahh-ah, ah-ah-ahh-ah
We come from the land of the weed and blow,
From the afternoon sun where the hot springs flow.
How soft your borders, so easy can whisper tales of gore,
Of how we turned the tides of reform. We are your overlords.
On we sweep with threshing legs, Our only goal will be the southern border.
So now you'd better stop and rebuild all your ruins,
For green cards and citizenship can win our day despite of all your losing.
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ahh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

I just don't get why some folks can't grasp that some people are here ILLEGALLY...
...and yes, I am all for changing the constitution to not count anchor babies as citizens.

False on the parents. And the youngsters don't get amnesty or a green card from Obama's order.

Pub's should have pushed guest worker strategy instead of fence strategy. Guest workers are private sector and legal and don't vote. ****ed themselves in the ***.

Now, that's not what I said. They should be able to come legally unless they are terrorists or convicted felons
