GOP Forever Lost Hispanic Vote --Tea Party's 'Racist' Attitude
On Friday, the House of Representatives finally passed an emergency spending bill in response to the humanitarian crisis at the border. The bill was a reworked version of the one that was pulled off the floor Thursday after it was obvious that it did not have enough votes to pass. House Republicans also pushed through another bill that would effectively end DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals), which the President put into place in 2012 to provide a reprieve from deportation to certain undocumented immigrants who were brought here as children prior to 2007. Neither bill is going anywhere as President Obama has already said he’d veto both and the Senate will not even bring them to the floor for a vote.
The spending bill that the House Republicans were finally able to agree on Friday evening provided a fraction of the funding the President requested weeks ago and less than half of what Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-OH) had initially proposed. The bill essentially just provides more resources to southern states to send the National Guard to the border and helps deport detained immigrants at a faster pace. It does nothing to actually address any of the actual issues surrounding the humanitarian crisis. However, due to an extreme portion of the House Republican Caucus, along with a couple of meddling GOP Senators, this was the best that the House Republican leadership could get.
