WASHINGTON — House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (La.) on Sunday rejected the suggestion that House Republicans had made a deal with Democrats to pass a “clean” bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security next week, telling “Fox News Sunday” host Chris Wallace, “There is no such deal and there’s no such bill.”

Scalise did not offer any resolution to the impasse beyond encouraging the public to press the Senate to move forward with the House version of the bill, which is all but assured to fail. “I would encourage anybody who disagrees with the president’s illegal actions on immigration, like I do, to light up the Senate switchboard between now and Monday evening,” he said.
