Senate Deal Dead--House GOP leaders push DHS funding bill through May

Just when you thought it was over..it ain't over.

Speaker Mike Johnson is trying to build Republican support for a short-term bill that would fund all Department of Homeland Security operations through May 22, after the Senate passed a deal overnight that left out money for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and some dollars for Customs and Border Protection.

The Louisiana Republican shared the plan on a House GOP Conference call shortly after noon Friday, honoring a commitment he made to members of the House Freedom Caucus earlier in the day that he would pursue a path out of the extended DHS shutdown that didn’t involve punting on funding for immigration enforcement activities.

There is no guarantee this plan will have support in the House, where GOP centrists are already balking at the proposal, according to four people granted anonymity to share their direct knowledge of the trajectory of negotiations Friday afternoon.

It’s also highly unlikely this gambit would pass in the Senate, which has already left town for a two-week recess. Republicans would need to rely on the other chamber approving the measure through a unanimous consent agreement — and Senate Democrats are warning they’ll reject it.

“A 60 day CR that locks in the status quo is dead on arrival in the Senate, and Republicans know it,” said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer in a statement Friday afternoon. “We’ve been clear from day one: Democrats will fund critical Homeland Security functions — but we will not give a blank check to Trump’s lawless and deadly immigration militia without reforms.”

It will never be over until every last criminal illegal alien is rounded up and deported.

outlaw masks

Outlaw masks? What the hell is that all about? You're an authoritarian *****, that's what.

I would want a different job---I'm thinking that this is the point here, in the end.

Society needs first responders, law enforcement, etc. We cannot function without them. Therefore, we must do all we can to protect them so we have those who will do these jobs. Don't be a twit

An ICE agent is NOT a first responder.
At best, they are fugitive apprehension agents. Tag and bag guys.

At worst, well, I think we've all seen what that looks like eh?

That's a stupid lie.

 

[Darkwind]

or...they could vote to put body-cams on ICE agents, outlaw masks, and require that agents be fully LEO trained and certified.

But I guess that's a non-starter eh?

If an ICE agent's family gets hurt or killed, every Democrat who pushed for the Doxxing of Federal Law Enforcement should face a 50-year minimum federal jail stay.

The GOP has already agreed to the body cams and they are getting full ICE Training.

So, your post is nonsensical.

 

[Zincwarrior]

So much stupid shit.

The only joke is Johnson actually thinks he selling another money grab as a clean resolution. You know, what they tried to pass in the first place. Then he tries to sell the BS that Trump had to declare an emergency to pay TSA with money that was already allocated in the first place.

He thinks everybody is as stupid as a magaturd. Now you know why they are getting ready to get their asses handed to them in November.

Yes, we've seen what that looks like, especially under President Biden. 90.7% of all ‘at-large’ alien arrests in FY 2022 involved aliens without criminal histories. By comparison, under President Trump's second term, only 9.3 percent of all the agency’s street arrests involved aliens with any criminal history whatsoever. The majority of others arrested by ICE were arrested because they had violent criminal histories.

I have to chuckle at the irony of the "Freedom Caucus" shutting this down over immigration enforcement, especially when it's already funded.

Actually the senate Bill zeroed out the funding for ICE and CBP. That's what had Mikey so pissed off.

The Senate didn't do that.

ICE would have continued through previous funding bills.

That's not true. It didn't zero out funding. ICE/CBP agents are currrenlty being paid, while TSA staff are not. ICE/CBP Agent's are getting paid now and funded for pay until 2029 because of authorization in last years OBBB.

ICE is an un constitutional government agency. It needs to be fully shutdown. We already have border control.

Despite being an illegal alien, Superman became a legal citizen. He got an ID and a job…though he was a reporter. The Daily Planet is a left wing rag,

ET, clearly an illegal alien called home for a ride back. He did not stay in the US and collect welfare.

If you need to be masked to hide from public accountability--that is, in itself, a problem~

The Left’s version of Accountability is the sense of entitlement they believe they have to Doxx people. A fair trade-off is if you are going to mandate unmasking ICE agents, then ICE agents and their families get “stand your ground” entitlements.

That's bullshit. Controlling the border is the job of the US Customs and Border Protection and the Border Patrol, not ICE, which focuses on the interior of the U.S., handling the investigation, detention, and removal of individuals who have already entered the country.

Are you so ignorant as to believe there are no criminal aliens inside the US? What the hell good would it be if the border was secure but there were still millions of criminal illegal aliens in the US?

 

[ColonelAngus]

Abolish ICE Lefties, you guys do not want any more customs?

You are cool with illegal fruits, vegetables, animals, and drugs being brought into the USA?

WHY?

I thought certain fruits and vegetables are illegal to bring into the USAto prevent the introduction of pests and diseases that could harm American agriculture.

You granola vegetarian lefty phucks do not care about US agriculture?

 

[the watcher]

It's a damn shame we just can't start over again....Maybe choose representatives by a draft lottery.

I'm not saying that it would not be a cluster-**** but damn, it would have to be better than what we have.

I have moved past term limits, impeachments, investigations, constitutional conventions, everything. Too much ingrained corruption. We can't vote our way out of this mess we have. We can't even sponsor a people's revolution because we are so divided and misled. The only thing that will get anyone's attention would be a tax revolt, and that would end in martial law, and we may well end up there anyway.
