Dems Block DHS Funding Bill, Republicans Cry ‘Uncle’
WASHINGTON DC. The U.S. House of Representatives passed a bi-partisan bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in January 2015. The bill was passed with a vote 236-191. This DHS bill then moved to the U.S. Senate where Senate Democrats have blocked the bill.
Democrats are technically in the minority power since the 2014 Mid-term elections. Senate Dems began to filibuster the DHS funding bill holding it up from a vote.
The Other Amnesty You Probably Didn’t Hear About
It isn’t that Dems don’t want DHS funded, it is that there is a provision in the Bill that de-funds President Obama’s immigration action. For starters, Obama’s immigration action effectively grants de facto amnesty to some 5 million+ illegal aliens in the USA. This is on top of the 5.46 million migrants granted effective stay since 2009.
