1 of 1 House votes to revoke legal protections for millions of immigrants
On Wednesday the House voted to undo revisions of Obama's immigration policy. This revoked legal protections for millions of illegal immigrants. The vote outraged Democrats, while many Republicans worried that their party would be perceived as hostile towards immigrants. While it has been said that Obama will not sign any bill that blocks his executive actions on immigration, the action in the House showed how the Republican led Congress will debate the presidents immigration actions. This will cause lawmakers to struggle to find compromise on funding the Department of Homeland Security.Democrats accused Republicans of jeopardizing Homeland Security funds at a time when the U.S. can not be caught off guard. The final outcome will not be decided for weeks but Wednesday was the first action from House conservatives.
