Govt Report Says Congress Can ‘Defund’ Amnesty

A week ago, House Appropriations Committee Chairman Hal Rogers declared that Congress would not be able to defund government spending as a way to circumvent President Barack Obama’s executive action on immigration because the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is self-funded through fees collected on immigration applications.

But Rogers was wrong, according to Breitbart News, which reports that the Congressional Research Service — a nonpartisan branch of the Library of Congress that provides public policy research — concluded that Congress has the authority to block the funding needed to implement the executive order, which grants de facto amnesty to some five million illegal immigrants.
