Obama threatens stopping paychecks to 143,000 Homeland Security employees at month's end if Republicans don't give up fight over 'amnesty' for illegal immigrants

    Obama warned GOP against holding DHS funding hostage as they fight him on sweeping immigration policy changes that he made on his own
    President said critical DHS workers will have to work without pay after February 27 if there's no deal for the department's funding

President Barack Obama claimed on Monday that without a comprehensive budget covering the Department of Homeland Security, more than 130,000 mission-critical employees will be forced to work without pay by the end of the month.

They include 40,000 employed by Customs and Border Protection, 50,000 Transportation Security Administration screeners, 13,000 Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and 40,000 Coast Guard personnel.

Pay would be restored at the end of any withholding period.

'I know how vital you are, and I want to make sure more Americans know how vital you are,' Obama told an auditorium full of DHS employees Monday the department's headquarters, as the White House rolled out his $4 trillion budget request for 2016.

Actually, I think this is a -very- good idea.

I want to see those "Homeland Security" employees jobless.
If all those employees aren't being paid, maybe they'll decide it's not worth working.
And that's a -good- thing.
I want the entire DHS shut down -- it should never have been created in the first place.

So go ahead, Barry -- make my day!

For what cause?  Because he is enforcing the Congress's CR?  How would you sell it to the voters?

Wow, like anyone's surprised. We all knew it was going here, and no doubt Small Ball and Other Brother Small Ball will cave.

What a piss poor concocted strategy.
