An action alert sent to Capitol Hill staffers from CQ Roll Call suggests that House Speaker John Boehner’s plan to fund President Barack Obama’s executive amnesty action for illegal aliens in a “CR-omnibus” bill may be beginning to fall apart—even as Nancy Pelosi’s top lieutenant Steny Hoyer has been pushing Democrats to help Boehner pass it.

Кaкoе-тo oчень oптимистическoе зaявление.

By splitting off just DHS funding into a separate portion of the bill and funding other parts of government, Republicans would be supporting funding for things including the Department of Health and Human Services’ plans to give newly amnestied illegal aliens access to certain health benefits and the Social Security Administration’s plans to let those illegal aliens have those benefits. White House spokesman Shawn Turner confirmed to the Washington Post in the wake of the president’s executive amnesty announcement on Nov. 20 that yes, amnestied illegal aliens will have access to Medicare and Social Security.

Short of impeachment -- which Republicans have virtually unilaterally taken off the table --  the only way to stop Obama’s executive amnesty before work permits are handed out to millions of illegal aliens is for Congress to use the power of the purse. If Republicans wait until March, once illegal aliens have started getting work permits, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) noted in a recent interview with Breitbart News, it’ll be nearly impossible to pull them back.

The conservative plan is to pass a short-term Continuing Resolution rather than a long term omnibus, and include language blocking funding for Obama’s amnesty in it. If outgoing Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid can muster the votes to strip that language from the bill or if Obama vetoes it after Reid fails to garner the votes, then the conservatives want the House to pass a short term CR until the new Republican congress with GOP reinforcements is sworn in in January. At that point, they’ll target Obama’s amnesty funding before he can get the program off the ground—something Obama will likely be able to do by March, the GOP leadership’s current date.
....

The GOP leadership’s plans are beginning to fall apart in the wake of a series of Breitbart News investigative pieces that show Boehner has put his top lieutenants, including Rules Committee chairman Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX) and Appropriations Committee chairman Rep. Hal Rogers (R-KY), at serious political risk from potential primary challengers—and how Boehner and his top allies deceived the Republican conference into voting for a new version of a bill from Rep. Ted Yoho (R-FL) that actually provides extra legal justification for Obama’s executive amnesty, rather than fights it as they originally had claimed. And while the Boehner plan is not dead yet, it's quite clear that extra grassroots pressure in the Capitol is working as grassroots organizations push members--and as the American people light up the phone lines of their members of Congress.

Numbers USA, an anti-amnesty grassroots organization, is scoring a vote for the GOP leadership’s CRomnibus bill as a vote for amnesty.

...
Meanwhile, Ingraham ...added that it appears by funding Obama’s amnesty in this Boehner omnibus bill, the House GOP leadership is aiming to “resurrect” the “amnesty agenda” of now former House Majority Leader Eric Cantor—who lost his primary to now Rep. Dave Brat (R-VA) this year—over support for amnesty.

House Republican leaders are preparing to unveil a critical spending bill, and could be forced to rely on Democratic votes to avert a partial government shutdown.
