UPDATE: Congressman Mark Amodei (NV-2) voted Wednesday in favor of H.R. 240, the FY 2015 Homeland Security Appropriations bill, which included amendments to defund the President’s executive action on immigration.

President Obama with the stroke of his pen has successfully done what many other anti-American, anti-capitalist and race baiters alike have failed to do since reconstruction.
