Republicans Can't Stop Obama's Immigration Plan—and John Boehner Knows It http://www.newrepublic.com/article/120462/gop-plan-de-fund-dhs-over-obamas-immigration-plan-wont-work …
@conncarroll @brianbeutler This is aside from whatever confrontation strategy he chooses (or not): How does he stop it?

@DavidMDrucker@brianbeutler pass a DHS funding bill forbidding USCIS from paying for more work permits than they did last year -
@conncarroll@brianbeutler My point: Yes they could. & *if* you can pick off enough Dems you get it to POTUS, who vetoes, & it continues. -
@DavidMDrucker@brianbeutler and it would be Dem debacle. You can't triple an agencies workload and have it go smoothly. -
@conncarroll@brianbeutler Fair enough. And they should absolutely do this for the new DHS $$ bill in March. But it will continue none'less -
@DavidMDrucker@brianbeutler Obama has already said no permits will be issued till June. GOP has time. -
@conncarroll@brianbeutler …But they can't stop him on their own, w/out help of Obama himself or court, the way he can do this on his own. -
@DavidMDrucker congress can't do anything by themselves. they are just one branch. -
@conncarroll That's my point. They can try & stop him. They should. But they can't stop him on their own. Obama, via overreach, can/did. - 20 more replies
