'Says guy handing out work permits’: Josh Earnest calls House action against Obama EOs 'a vote for amnesty'

The House voted today to pass a DHS appropriations bill that would not include funding for President Obama’s executive amnesty. The spin from the White House is to make Republicans look like the amnesty-seekers:

Earnest in gaggle on House GOP immigration vote: "it's essentially a vote for amnesty."

“Amnesty” must be in the eye of the beholder.

If the bill passes the Senate, the White House has said Obama would veto it:

DHS funding bill blocking Obama's executive actions feels like a rare moment GOP is playing with big balls. When he vetoes it, hammer him

There were some House Republicans who voted no on two amendments to the DHS bill that would take action against Obama’s executive amnesty.

The Blackburn amendment:

Using Josh Earnest’s logic, those Republicans are against amnesty by being for it, or something.
