House Republicans Just Shut Down Senate DHS Funding Bill – Here's What They Introduced Instead

House Republicans are blocking a Senate-approved bill that would end the partial Department of Homeland Security shutdown and instead are pushing their own 60-day funding bill.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said there are not enough votes in the House to pass the Senate bill, which has angered conservatives by omitting funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol.

This comes as air travelers are experiencing long lines and lengthy waiting times at airports. Many Transportation Security Administration (TSA) workers have either refused to show up to work or have quit because they have not been receiving their pay.

The Senate approved its bill early on Friday morning through a voice vote. It sent over a narrow package to fund the TSA, Coast Guard, and other DHS agencies. But they did not include ICE and Border Patrol because they could not get enough support to pass it, with Democrats opposing the measure because it did not include sufficient reforms to immigration enforcement agencies.

Johnson and his allies are reportedly furious about the Senate bill. They are weighing whether to “ignore the measure altogether and instead send their own bill back to the Senate,” according to CNN.

House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (MN-06) said, “The one thing I can tell you is that there is a common disgust from our leadership team and from our members about what they did over in the Senate, and it really was not appropriate.”

Johnson is preparing a 60-day continuing resolution that would fully fund DHS, including ICE and Border Patrol, and include other conservative priorities like voter ID provisions. Members of the House Freedom Caucus emphasized that they will refuse to support any DHS package that does not include funding for Border Patrol and ICE.

That's what they should do.

Also, I think TSA is mostly useless.
I think security could be privatized by the airports.

All this Senate madness and dead lock is a direct result of 10-15% of sitting DEM Senators are in DC because of election fraud. Republicans should have a +60 seat majority right now. Industrial scale election fraud is the problem, everything else are just symptoms

I don't understand the not getting paid part? My nephew works for the TSA and he just took out 2 interest free loans to cover him during the shutdown. He says this is available to all federal employees impacted by the shutdown as long as you have direct deposit. (which is a gov't mandate anyway). It's almost as if some of these TSA employees are getting paid through other means to NOT come to work.

Not really familiar with Thune, but every time his name has popped up on my radar the last year or so, it was for doing things in his position that only a massive piece of shit would do. So, this tracks.

It should track, he was the Mitch McConnell pick to be his successor as majority leader...

Rep. Hunt: Racial Argument Against Voter ID Is ‘Insulting’
Catherine Salgado

Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-Texas) emphasized to Congress the importance of passing the election integrity SAVE America Act and rejected woke arguments against voter ID as racist and condescending.

Democrats’ idiotic arguments against requiring ID to vote include claiming that black Americans are somehow mysteriously unable to get IDs. Aside from the obvious elitism and racial prejudice of such a claim, it is practically impossible to live in America and not have identification. They are required at doctor’s offices, airports, bars, liquor stores, car rentals, welfare programs, and many more places. But somehow expecting IDs at polling places is unreasonable?

Hunt sarcastically said, “I've been black for my entire life. I had to bring up the most racist thing I've ever heard [which] is the insinuation by Democrats that black and brown Americans are too stupid to get an ID to vote, just like everybody else.”

The congressman continued, “I call this the soft bigotry of low expectations. Figuring out how to vote in this country is a very low bar, and we could all figure it out regard of your race, religion, color, or creed, and we should all want free and fair elections.”

Except Democrats know they cannot win so many elections as they do without fraud, nor can they expand their control to new areas. They have no positive results to run on, no record of making any city or state more prosperous and more free. They need fraud to survive.

Hunt told Congress, “With me today — I'm not gonna pull mine out this time, but I have six forms of government-issued ID. How did I acquire that? Personal responsibility in this country. I've also heard a lot about Jim Crow here today. I'm here to tell you, Jim Crow is over, and I know it because my parents grew up in it.”

Democrats were the party of Jim Crow, ironically. But now they scream “racism” whenever anyone points out that they are pushing an awful policy. Democrats cheapen and exploit the suffering their predecessors caused for political reasons.

As Hunt said, “And I think it's actually insulting to those that actually experienced the ills of Jim Crow” to compare getting an ID to that era. “Having an ID to vote in our national election should be a requirement, which is why I stand [here] today, urging my colleagues on the left to support this bill. If you want secure elections, if you want your vote to count, vote for the Save Act.”

Unfortunately, that’s precisely what Democrats don’t want. This debate was never about IDs, or about black Americans’ access to IDs, or about constitutionality. It was always about one political party believing in our Republic’s system of elections, and the other party hating our Republic’s system of government and believing they should decide who our leaders are instead of We the People.

I was trying to be polite by not calling him a back-stabing RINO
