No action Thursday night on DHS funding fight

Following a closed House GOP membership meeting late Thursday evening, two House Republicans told CNN that House Speaker John Boehner outlined a plan to introduce a three-week continuing resolution on Friday, that would fund the department temporarily for three weeks.

Democrats argue that DHS should be fully funded, and that a stopgap measure would just add uncertainty to the department and not offer a concrete long-term solution. Democrats are also demanding that the House pass a ‘clean’ DHS funding measure. As it stands now, a bill passed by the House coupled the DHS funding with a measure that would de-fund any attempts by President Barack Obama to enforce his recent executive order on immigration.
