House Opposes Immigration Action
House Republicans voted Wednesday to overturn President Obama’s immigration actions from last November — and reached all the way back to unravel a 2012 directive affecting illegal immigrants who came to the U.S. as children — sending the bill to the Senate where it faces an uncertain fate. The House voted 236-191 to approve legislation funding the Homeland Security Department through the rest of the budget year to the tune of $40 billion. But as part of that legislation, Republicans added provisions to gut the president’s immigration directives.
