While Netanyahu gets all the attention from the press, Boehner quietly surrenders on DHS funding bill.

Boehner backs down in DHS funding fight, plans to hold vote on ‘clean’ bill | Fox News

House Speaker John Boehner on Tuesday agreed to Democrats’ demands to hold a vote on legislation funding the Homeland Security Department through the end of the budget year, without any immigration measures attached.

The move is a victory for the Obama administration and sets up a presumably swift resolution to the weeks-long standoff on Capitol Hill.

Republicans had tried to use the DHS funding bill as the vehicle to reverse President Obama’s controversial immigration executive actions. But Democrats repeatedly blocked the move, insisting they pass the spending bill with no riders attached.

“I am as outraged and frustrated as you at the lawless and unconstitutional actions of this president,” Boehner told his caucus on Tuesday morning, according to a source. But he said he believes the decision to vote on a “clean” bill, “considering where we are – is the right one for this team, and the right one for this country.”

They way things are going with GOP, they might just hand the congress back to Democrats in 2016.
