The Senate snuck through a DHS funding bill in the dead of night that zeroed out ICE and Border Patrol — a total betrayal of the voters who demanded border security. House Republicans are right to reject this garbage deal and push a 60-day CR that fully funds all of DHS. Conservatives weren't handed a trifecta just to let the Left defund immigration enforcement and protect criminal traffickers.
House Republicans killed a bipartisan DHS funding deal that Senate and House Democrats were ready to pass, and now they want to own the shutdown fallout. A 60-day CR is dead on arrival in the Senate — it's a non-starter that just locks in chaos. Blocking critical homeland security funding to score political points is exactly the kind of reckless governing that hands Democrats the midterms.
