Budget Stalemate: House sticks Senate Republicans with stalled DHS bill

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Fox News:

Congress is now in a full-fledged stalemate over a bill stuck in the Senate to fund the Department of Homeland Security and rollback President Obama’s executive actions on immigration reform, now that House Republican leaders have declined to help.

 

Top House Republicans stated their position after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell suggested they draft and pass a new bill, which they can send to the upper chamber and that Senate Democrats could accept.

 

“We did our work to make sure the Department of Homeland Security is fully funded while also defying the president’s unconstitutional executive action on immigration,” House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy said Friday.

 

The California Republican’s remarks were part of a memo to fellow House members recapping the first six weeks of the 114th session. They followed similar remarks a day earlier by House Speaker John Boehner.

 

"The House has done its job,” the Ohio Republican said. “And now it's up to the Senate to do their job."
