Every single dollar spent by the fed govt must be first appropriated by Congress: GOP lying when they say they can't defund Amnesty

Republicans Can Defund Obama’s Executive Order, They Just Don’t Want To November 20, 2014 By Sean Davis President Barack Obama’s executive order on immigration hasn’t even been issued yet, and already congressional Republicans are desperately trying to come up with reasons why they’re powerless to do anything about it.

“We cannot, literally cannot, defund that agency in an appropriations bill because we don’t appropriate that agency. That agency is entirely-fee funded,” Hing told reporters.

“As of right now, our understanding is the primary agency responsible for implementing any type of executive order is CIS and we don’t fund CIS. There are no appropriated dollars,” she added.
