I hope we do that with a vote today. This is very important in terms of governing and in terms of passing an appropriations bill for a vital part of government. It is also important to address and debate and vote headon on President Obamas illegal Executive amnesty. which he announced last December. which would basically give amnesty to about 5 million illegal aliens with no basis whatsoever in statutory law. In fact. statutory law is opposed to that sort of Executive action. I find it ironic that the very same Members from the very same party and ideology that is constantly beating the drum and saying "For Gods sake. we cant shut down the government. we cant have that sort of showdown" are apparently preparing to vote against even moving to this spending bill which is necessary to fund a vital part of the government.
