fIREBIRD17, THIS IS OFF THE SUBJECT BUT WE NEED TO SPREAD THIS AROUND AND LET CONGRESS KNOW THAT WE WANT ACTIBut the CRS report that Sessions requested shows that is untrue. Even if an agency like USCIS operates on fees rather than tax revenues appropriated by Congress, the Congress can still block funding for the implementation of such matters as Obamas executive amnesty. CRS wrote:
A fee-funded agency or activity typically refers to one in which the amounts appropriated by Congress for that agency or activity are derived from fees collected from some external source. Importantly, amounts received as fees by federal agencies must still be appropriated by Congress to that agency in order to be available for obligation or expenditure by the agency. In some cases, this appropriation is provided through the annual appropriations process. In other instances, it is an appropriation that has been enacted independently of the annual appropriations process (such as a permanent appropriation in an authorizing act). In either case, the funds available to the agency through fee collections would be subject to the same potential restrictions imposed by Congress on the use of its appropriations as any other type of appropriated funds.
Cutting the legalese language here, basically this means that, no matter how USCIS gets it moneyeven if its from a prior authorization appropriation that is permanent and based on fee collectionCongress can still restrict the use of that money for some purposes.
On the night Obama announced the amnestylast ThursdaySessions said that the House of Representatives must lead by passing a government funding bill that blocks any money being spent on Obamas amnesty.
The House should send the Senate a government funding bill which ensures no funds can be spent for this unlawful purpose, Sessions said. If [Outgoing Senate Majority Leader Harry] Reids Senate Democrats vote to surrender their own institution to an imperial dictate and block the measure, then the House should send a short-term funding measure so the new GOP majority can be sworn in and pass a funding bill with the needed language.
The Conservative Reviews Daniel Horowitz laid out on Tuesday how one of the things lost amidst the hullabaloo of mob rule in Ferguson is that the GOP is planning to capitulate to Obamas amnesty. Part of that caving by Speaker John Boehner to Obama on executive amnesty, Horowitz notes, is that Republicans will promise to fight laterbut wont block the funding of it now.
This strategy allows GOP leaders to promise a fight three months from now, after Obamas executive action becomes more entrenched, without having to fight on defund immediately, Horowitz wrote. It will also buy them time to work on the second step: negotiating with Obama to pass amnesty legislatively.
If Rogersor other top allies of Speaker Boehner like 2012 GOP vice presidential candidate Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI)dont block the funding of Obamas executive amnesty, they could face dire consequences.
Some Kentucky Tea Party activists are already talking about a primary challenge to Representative Harold Rogers, chairman of the Appropriations Committee, who has been in office since 1981, the New York Times Jeremy Peters wrote on Tuesday. Breitbart News, a conservative website, reported on the possible primary challenger this week. Mr. Rogers office has said Congress could not simply defund the presidents directive, because the agency that carries it out, Citizenship and Immigration Services, is not financed by appropriations but by the fees it generates.
Later in the story, Peters noted that Ryan and even Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) could face primary challenges in 2016.
Other potential primary targets, Tea Party groups say, are Representative Paul D. Ryan of Wisconsin, the 2012 Republican vice-presidential nominee, and even Senator Marco Rubio, Republican of Florida, who was elected initially with the help of Tea Party energy, Peters wrote.ON:
