BREAKING: Senate Rejects DHS Funding to Protect Obama’s AMNESTY AGENDA!
Last night, the Senate Democrats blocked legislation which would have stopped President Obama’s un-constitutional executive actions on amnesty in exchange for funding the Department of Homeland Security through September.
That means, Democrats are willing to put America’s safety at risk, in order to protect Obama’s unilateral decision to grant worker visas to more than 4 million illegals who broke American law.
Now, the clock is ticking… And if this isn’t funded by Friday night, then we’re in a government shut down!
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is suggesting one more piece of legislation may be voted upon. But with principled conservatives determined to tie DHS funding to amnesty, this is likely a non-starter:
Senate Democrats blocked legislation Monday that would have rolled back President Obama’s executive actions on immigration in exchange for funding the Department of Homeland Security through September.
But soon after the early evening vote — the fourth Senate attempt to block Obama’s controversial decision to grant work permits to millions of illegal immigrants — Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., suggested separate legislation to combat Obama’s executive actions.
“The new bill I described offers another option we can turn to. It’s another way to get the Senate unstuck from a Democrat filibuster and move the debate forward,” McConnell said on the Senate floor after a vote to advance the House-passed bill failed 47-46, short of the 60 votes needed. Three previous attempts earlier in the month had yielded similar results.
It was not clear whether McConnell’s gambit would succeed ahead of Friday’s midnight deadline to fund the department or see it shut down.
Of course, Obama’s supporters in the mainstream media will say this legislation shows Republicans leaving America vulnerable to a terrorist attack. But the truth is, Republicans want to fully fund the Department of Homeland Security… They just realize this is their only chance to stop the massive threat to the homeland, caused by weak security on the Southern border.
