Yes they are telling the President to take executive action. I guess that so they can sue or impeach him later. Here is what McMorris-Rodgers said-

"This situation shows the intense concern within our conference -- and among the American people -- about the need to ensure the security of our borders and the president's refusal to faithfully execute our laws," they said. "There are numerous steps the president can and should be taking right now, without the need for congressional action, to secure our borders and ensure these children are returned swiftly and safely to their countries."

Pretty sure whatever the President does Republican will be complaining long and loud...could be the new Benghazi.

So they sued the president for taking action and now they want him to take more executive action. You just can't make this up. Someone throw Boehner's weak a** out. The Tea Party run the house.

House GOP abandons their own border bill
The conservative party at the federal level is post policy. They are no longer interested in governing.

I mean, what they are doing is nothing. conservatives are not interested in enacting a policy agenda that can compromise with the Democrats.

This lack of passing legislation is truly unprecedented in the modern era of American politics and maybe historically unprecedented.

conservatives can't even bother to create public policy to address a problem they were wailing about.

Where is the credibility? How can the media or intelligent people allow conservatives to wail about the border when they have zero solutions, no policy agenda to address the problem.

Then when President Obama has to act because conservatives won't allow the legislative branch to act, they'll yell about a lawless president.


It is all insane. conservatives make no sense.

They want him to act alone because that is his job. The executive branch is in charge of carrying out our laws. (As written and passed).

Congress can't do this.

How did you miss "refusal to faithfully execute our laws"?

Absolutely no one is stopping him from doing that.

On the Border Issue, it seems like the Rs have taken their thumbs out of their butts, and are meeting right now to see if they can insert their other thumb...

Now Obama can do what he wants.

It was his actions that brought them here. He caused the problem; it is his job to fix it. The law suit is about Obamacare. Let's get our facts straight, please!

I am sure the Exec Order has already been written, just waiting for the Kangaroo Congress to wrap up with their current nonsense.
