The title says it all:
Ben is exactly right. Levin has been saying this for a while as well. And it’s the same for Obamacare. Republicans are funding everything Obama wants.
Drudge has been headlining this for several hours:
CNS News reports:
The Republican leadership in the House of Representatives has cut a deal with Senate Democrats on a government funding bill that will permit funding for the implementation of President Obama’s unilateral amnesty of as many as five million illegal aliens through at least Feb. 27, 2015.
By cutting a deal to fund the Department of Homeland Security through Feb. 27, the House Republican leadership has given President Obama more than two and a half months to move forward with his unilateral amnesty of illegal aliens. During that time, Obama will be able to give illegal aliens visas and Social Security Numbers.
“The bill includes full Appropriations legislation and funding for 11 of the 12 annual Appropriations bills through the end of the fiscal year, September 30, 2015,” said the statement put out by Chairman Rogers’ House Appropriations Committee. “The 12th bill, which funds the Department of Homeland Security, is also included in the legislation, but is funded under a temporary ‘Continuing Resolution’ mechanism that expires on February 27, 2015.”
Well, at least they aren’t shutting the government down. Whew!
UPDATE: Looks like Republicans are going to give Social Security benefits to Obama’s illegals:
From Breitbart:
Pages 958 and 959 of the 1,603-page omnibus spending bill from House Speaker John Boehner include a provision that gives Social Security benefits to illegal aliens under President Barack Obama’s executive amnesty.
…
Right after Obama’s executive amnesty announcement, the White House confirmed to the Washington Post that illegal aliens who get amnesty from Obama—paid for by Boehner, and any Republican who votes for this omnibus bill—will have access to Social Security benefits.
By not including language saying that Social Security benefits can’t go to illegal aliens under the executive amnesty—just as they didn’t include language going after funding for the implementation of the executive amnesty itself—Republicans are completely surrendering, ensuring that millions of illegal aliens will get Social Security.
