WASHINGTON — The House has voted to overturn President Barack Obama’s
executive actions on immigration that extended protections to millions of
people here illegally.
The 237-190 largely party-line vote Wednesday was on an amendment to a
spending bill for the Department of Homeland Security.
The amendment nullifies the executive actions Obama announced in November
that provided three-year stays of deportation, along with work permits, to
some 4 million immigrants in the country illegally. It also rolls back
earlier directives to law enforcement aimed at prioritizing deportations of
people with serious criminal records.
Republicans argue that Obama’s actions were an unconstitutional overreach.
Obama has threatened to veto their legislation.
