Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell wants to yank the House-passed bill that defunds amnesty while fully funding the Department of Homeland Security and replace it with a “clean” bill that omits the defunding language.
Continue reading →Funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) runs out next Friday, February 27th.

Continue reading →UPDATE: Today, Wednesday, February 4th, the Senate again voted on cloture on the motion to proceed to debate H.R. 240, the House-passed bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
