House Republican leaders seem poised to kill the Department of Homeland Security shutdown deal passed by the Senate early on Friday morning.<\/p>\n
The Senate bill would fund all elements of DHS except for ICE and Border Patrol, with no immigration reforms made. However, many House Republicans have strongly opposed the deal passed by the Senate, arguing it caves to the Democrats.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are not playing their games. These people want open borders, and they want criminal illegal aliens in the country,\u201d Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said of Democrats while addressing reporters on Friday.<\/p>\n
Johnson said Trump \u201csupports\u201d the plan, noting that this will be the fourth time the House has voted to fund DHS. The Daily Wire reached out to the White House for comment.<\/p>\n
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said that a continuing resolution proposal would not succeed in the Senate, calling it \u201cdead on arrival.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSenate Democrats worked with Senate Republicans to reach a UNANIMOUS agreement to fund vital functions at DHS, including TSA, FEMA, CISA, and secure our ports of entry,\u201d Schumer said in a statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve been clear from day one: Democrats will fund critical Homeland Security functions \u2014 but we will not give a blank check to Trump\u2019s lawless and deadly immigration militia without reforms,\u201d the Democrat added.<\/p>\n Some members, like Rep. Andy Ogles<\/a> (R-TN), want to see voter identification added to a DHS funding bill, as the Senate struggles to pass the SAVE America Act, which is considered the top legislative priority of the president.<\/p>\n Rep. Mark Harris<\/a> (R-NC) even explicitly blamed Senate Republicans for backing the deal made.<\/p>\n \u201cI am done with Senate Republicans. Their failure to fully fund DHS is not just disappointing \u2014 it\u2019s a disgrace,\u201d Harris posted to X. \u201cThey refused to fund ICE units that target sex traffickers. They refused to fund Border Patrol agents. And where is the SAVE America Act?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cOnce again, they have failed the American people. They have made one thing clear: Americans\u2019 safety is not their priority,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, some Republicans in the House, like Rep. Dusty Johnson (R-SD) and Rep. Carlos Gim\u00e9nez (R-FL), argued that the House pursuing an alternative solution would only delay funding the department, according to the Wall Street Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n
