Obama: No interest in border 'photo op'

How about Bohner's house passing anything? ...ANYTHING!

I assume you mean about this latest scandal of his.
What did Obama send them? anything? ANYTHING?
What were the details? Do you know?
Should they pass it just the way he sent it to them?
If they write it in language to make it clear so as to keep Obama from doing whatever the hell he wants with $3.7B, would that be okay?
 
Anyways isnt trying to allocate 3.7 billion to the border to "hire more judges for hearings for the migrant children; for the Department of Health and Human Services to provide medical attention and refugee services; and for the Department of Homeland Security to send border drones, pay border agents overtime, and detain and deport more immigrants"? Is that "not trying to solve the problem"? http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2014-07-09/some-conservatives-support-obamas-3-dot-7-billion-immigration-aid-request

Is that not trying to solve the problem? Or are we just gonna stick to some lame talking points?

Write a compromise bill and pass it. Send it too the senate and thrash out more compromise in committee. That's how it's supposed to work. The president doesn't have a chance to compromise because nothing is ever sent to his desk.
Nothing.

The President sent a request. The next step would be for Bohner to have an alternative written and voted on.
He won't do that. All he will do is demagogue, posture and bellyache.

I understand that's what they're doing.
AND
They may be attaching a repeal or change to that 2008 Law that gave Obama the impetus for his DACA Executive Action that accelerated the whole thing to what we have today.

Sure. Here are some from our history, MLK, Ceasr Chavez.

MLK did **** around with a lot of women when His wife wasn't around.

Cesar Chavez was xenophobic, he hated illegal aliens, especially illegal aliens from Mexico. He also said the worst time in his life was when he served in the U.S. Navy. I think he hated the Navy as much as illegal aliens.

Now there are some old sea stories from Hwy 99 in California about Cesar Chavez that would question him being a man.

From what I heard, Harry Reid has already got the word from Obama, make sure the House bill doesn't pass in the Senate if it has any amendments of repealing the 2008 law or securing the border or deporting any illegal aliens.

Why bother posting such nonsense.... if you "heard" it go find it and post the cite. If you can't find it, its likely not true.... work from facts, not from hearsay. It makes your arguments more credible.... this drivel is not helpful to anyone, especially you. Please be more discerning.

Sorry, but the problem with all of this (and everything going on at the national level right now)... is we have total disfunction. A do-nothing congress means the President has to push the limits of executive authority to get anything done. The Supreme Court continues to legislate from the bench.... the so-called news channels are nothing but partisan opinion outlets that, by design, only work to inflame an uneducated electorate devoid of the necessary critical thinking skills to know they have been played. Sorry, but America is a SNAFU.

Until all of us calm down and seek a rational middle ground,I am afraid that the American electorate is a greater threat to America than Al Qaeda ever could dream of being, We are are on a path of self-destruction.

You don't even send first-responders into a hurricane. The border crisis isn't a hurricane.

From your link!

White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Perry has accepted an invitation to a group meeting in Dallas that will include local officials and faith leaders.

"We thought it made sense here to extend an invitation to Gov. Perry, to allow him to participate in that meeting with other Texans who are seeking to address this situation in a constructive manner," Earnest said. "We're looking forward to Gov. Perry participating in that meeting."

Seems reasonable enough to me. The WH says the Texas trip had a triple purpose, including fundraising. Jesus Christ, unfortunately ALL presidents do fundraising, some presidents cut brush when we think they should be officiating, some play golf, some go fishing while others shoot pool.

AFTER Perry made an issue of Obama only offering a handshake on the tarmac. Keep up. Obama had no intention of meeting anyone about the border until Perry made an issue of it.
 
They are responsible however for supplying the low-paying jobs for those who immigrate illegally.
Without those available jobs from big business, there would be no illegal immigration problem.
Try the illegals employed by Southern farmers .

If I was President Obama, I'd tell Texas to go pound sand up their ass. And I'm a native Texan! LOL!

YOUR link does not support that. Stop reading the commentary, and read the link you provided.

The point of our system is to have one branch pass something the other branch can live with, in substantial form. If the house can't come up with something the senate can't pass, the house bears substantial blame.
