Sen. John Barrasso: Opposed Obama's Amnesty Before Voting For It

An interesting article from www.numbersusa.com about a GOP member who voted FOR amnesty. This follows this post on HOW amnesty is funded in ways other than the DHS. Remember, “Amnesty” means ANY non-enforcement of existing immigration laws! This follows this comment and this post about how to Report Illegal Immigrants! Also, you can read two very interesting books HERE.

Sen. John Barrasso: Opposed Obama's Amnesty Before Voting For It


https://www.numbersusa.com/sendfax







Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) voted to fund President Obama's executive amnesty during the lame-duck session contrary to his earlier statements. He was one of several Senators who had come out against the president's actions, but then voted much differently.
These Senators, including Senator Barrasso had an opportunity to back up their rhetoric with action when Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) raised a "point of order" challenging the constitutionality of the president's executive action while the Senate debated the 2015 spending bill.
While 21 other Senators stood up and voted with Senator Cruz, 28 Senators who had previously come out against executive amnesty voted in favor of fully funding it.
After the president's announcement, Senator Barrasso released the following statement:
President Obama’s announcement on executive amnesty flies in the face of his promises to follow the law, deliver ‘fairness’ and help jobless Americans. His reckless and unlawful decision makes it even harder for Washington to solve our immigration challenges.
In the aftermath of the President’s decision to ignore Americans, Congress will act. We are listening to Americans – and we will stand up for them.
For a full list of U.S. Senators who voted for and against the Senator Cruz's point of order, see the roll call vote.
