http://www.huffingtonpost.com/raul-a-reyes/house-republicans-vote-to_b_5648109.htmlDumb and dumber. That's the best way to describe two bills passed by House Republicans on Friday night. They passed a supplemental funding bill allocating about $700 million for the crisis on the border. It includes changes to current law that will make it easier to send child migrants back to Central America. They also voted to wind down the Obama administration's Deferred Action program for young immigrants. So forget about comprehensive reform: House Republicans have settled on the "Let's deport as many kids as possible" approach.
These two bills do not represent a coherent response to our border crisis. They reflect House Speaker John Boehner's failed leadership as well as the triumph of immigration extremists. While these bills will have zero policy impact, the GOP will likely feel their political impact for years to come -- and not in a good way.

Would it be possible to attach one Republican congressional member with each child?

They love the (white) fetus, but as soon as they see daylight, fuck em.

I know, sounds stupid, just like their bill is.
