House GOP Leaders Trick 216 House Republicans into Accidentally Supporting Obama's Executive Amnesty
Gohmert said most members had no idea what they were actually voting for when 219 members—216 of which were Republicans—approved a measure, H.R. 5759, first put forward by Rep. Ted Yoho (R-FL), but subsequently dramatically altered by leadership officials in the Rules Committee process.
“I was a cosponsor of the original Yoho bill. I thought it was a very decent bill, it was very short—it was only about a page and a half—and it basically said that anything the president did in violation of current law including what he’s done with ordering work permits for people who are illegally here, it’s illegal,†Gohmert said.
“They added another section called ‘exceptions.’ And the exceptions part says this ‘shall apply except’ and then there’s three parts,†Gohmert said while reading the actual text of the bill on the phone with Breitbart News.
The third one is "for humanitarian purposes where the aliens are at imminent risk of serious bodily harm or death." That’s what they added. Well, this president has been arguing for months that the things he’s doing is because these people are at imminent risk of serious bodily harm and that’s why he’s doing them. So actually by adding this exception it gives the president for the first time a solid statutory basis to argue that providing those work permits is now legal.
Gohmert said that this addition gives President Obama a foot in the door for a legal argument justifying executive amnesty.

I think the term is "collusion." He's colluding with Barry to destroy the country.

They did read it, and they voted on it. Boehner and the House leadership changed the wording of the bill after the vote was taken. It's not the same bill that was voted on.

They aren't all turncoats. Just Boehner and the Rules Committee.
