WASHINGTON — House Republican leaders failed to muster the votes to pass a stopgap measure to fund the Department of Homeland Security for three weeks, leaving the agency in jeopardy of a partial shutdown Friday night.
The failure left Congress with few options to avoid a partial shutdown. House Republicans could attempt to pass another stopgap funding bill late Friday, or relent and allow a vote on a competing Senate-passed bill that would fund DHS through Sept. 30.
House Republicans oppose the Senate bill because it does not include provisions aimed at gutting President Obama's executive order delaying deportations for millions of undocumented immigrants.
I'm not surprised even a tiny bit.
