(DAILY SIGNAL) The House of Representatives took its first action protesting President Obama’s executive action on immigration. The bill, which was called “purely symbolic” by critics, is unlikely to be considered by the Democrat-controlled Senate.
The Preventing Executive Overreach on Immigration Act, drafted by Rep. Ted Yoho, R-Fla., passed in the House this afternoon on a mostly party-line vote of 219 to 197.
“Even if enacted into law, it would not have stopped the president from granting quasi-legal status, work permits and Social Security numbers to people who are in the country illegally.”
