Obama Demands Amnesty Funding or Goodnight DHS
Today in Washington, D.C - Feb 27, 2014:   The U.S Senate convened at 9:30 AM today.
The Senate voted this morning to to fund Homeland Security through Sept. 30, providing the agency with full funding. The final tally was 68-31.

The Senate is expected to take up the House's stopgap measure later today if it passes.

The House convened at 9 AM today.
H.J. Res. 35 - Making further continuing appropriations for fiscal year 2015, and for other purposes."
H.R. 5 — "To support State and local accountability for public education, protect State and local authority, inform parents of the performance of their children's schools, and for other purposes."

Yesterday, the House passed:
H.R. 5 (Voice Vote) — "To support State and local accountability for public education, protect State and local authority, inform parents of the performance of their children's schools, and for other purposes."

Also, yesterday, House Republican leaders advanced the idea (no legislation): to fund DHS for just three weeks to give the two chambers of Congress time to work out a compromise measure.

The Washington Times reports, "Senate Republican leaders retreated on the homeland security spending fight Friday morning, voting with Democrats to delete provisions that would have stopped President Obama’s deportation amnesty in order to avoid a partial shutdown of the Homeland Security Department at midnight.

"But the 66-33 vote only heightens the tension, as House Republicans remain adamant that the president’s amnesty be stopped, and say they’ll pass a short-term spending bill to keep the Homeland Security Department open for a few more weeks in the hope of working out a final agreement.

"Democratic leaders, meanwhile, say they’re having none of it, insisting that the House GOP drop its objections and accept the Senate’s bill as-is. 'It must pass the Senate bill. We will not go to conference,' Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid said, shortly before he led the Senate in passing the “clean” spending bill that funds the Homeland Security Department through the rest of fiscal year 2015.

Without an agreement by midnight, the Homeland Security Department will go into a partial shutdown. . . .

Liberty News Now noted, "Right now, Republicans have some leverage with Democrats and President Obama on DHS funding. If Republicans pass a bill that funds DHS and includes money for Executive Amnesty, the Republican majority will have zero advantage to force the president’s hand on legislation to repeal."

ARRA News Service editor: Recall that it is the House that initiates appropriations bills and not the Senate and especially not the Senate minority. Harry Reid with the assistance of the President is bullying Congress over the threat that DHS will be shut down. House Republicans who are on the side of National Security and who took action to fund NDHS and thus National Security are faced with a moral conflict. They never wished DHS to be unfunded thus advanced full funding bill early enough to the Senate where the Democrats failed to vote to allow discussion on the House bill. The House also stands in opposition to providing the President funding to advance Amnesty of Illegal aliens.
