Republicans Cave, Pass DHS Bill Without Funding For ICE

[skews13]

Congress voted to reopen key parts of the Department of Homeland Security — including the Transportation Security Administration — Thursday after weeks of GOP infighting that prolonged a record shutdown of the critical agency.

President Donald Trump promptly signed the bill to fund the department, which went unfunded for 75 days, into law.

In the end, House GOP leaders conceded in a weeks-long DHS funding fight in a major retreat by Speaker Mike Johnson as he faced a growing revolt from centrists in his party, multiple sources told CNN. The House abruptly passed the package — which includes no money for federal immigration enforcement, in a major win for Democrats — by a voice vote Thursday afternoon.

I believe that's what's called caving.

The GOP can now fund ICE and Border Patrol with just a majority vote.

Most of that is social spending not caused by Trump. The deficit did go down under Trump

Trump in a year and half didnt cause the national debt. He will try and reduce it and democrats will fight him every step of the way.

Well no. He most likely will end up doing that before he is done but Biden did eek past him. Trump's first year debt has him on track to top Biden.

He cut spending and the debt is already mandated before he was elected. He didnt cause the debt. He did reduce the deficit. The debt is mostly social policy spending and now we see it in Minn and CA as theft and fraud defended by democrats. Prosecutions have just begun and think of the trillions saved in the next 2 years as democrat supporters go to prison.

OK, yes he has surpassed Obama 8 years in only 5 years.
