Top Democrats said Feb. 23 they will hold the homeland security budget hostage until the GOP’s House caucus agrees to quit its popular anti-amnesty efforts.
“If we are going to avoid a government shutdown on the Department of Homeland Security, we need a commitment from Speaker Boehner that we have a bipartisan, bicameral approval to end this deadlock,” Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin told reporters during a Tuesday press conference in the Senate.
Durbin spoke shortly after the Senate’s GOP Majority Leader Mitch McConnell appeared to submit to the Democrats’ demands that the DHS 2015 budget not curb spending on the president’s November amnesty.
Democrats have filibustered the House-passed DHS budget bill four times just to block the anti-amnesty language.
McConnell agreed Feb. 22 to allow separate votes on a toothless DHS budget bill, and a bill that would curb Obama’s amnesty plans.

Corrupt? Bought Out? Unprincipled? Liars to win elections? They don't give a damn about us little folk who live by the rules? How about they're the former playground wimps who never had to stand up to bullies and thugs because they were sheltered by status and privilege?
They don't know HOW to fight. It's beneath their dignity! Gosh, has are elite become useless. They don't even know when they're being ridiculed, marginalized and insulted.
End of Rant
Invoke the Harry Reid rule and go nuclear. In every press conference say Harry Reid’s name. “Dont blame Republicans, we are just doing what Harry Reid did and you in the media said how courageous he was.”
Someone please remind me why we had an election last November?
Obama will Disband Congress and go it alone ,Oh wait ,LOL
Democrats = Amnesty$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Mitch McConnell: A Profile in Courage
All of us must thank the Republicans of Kentucky for returning this staunch leader to the Senate. What a man!
Barf!
Republicans took both houses of Congress in the midterm elections but the Democrats have all the power. WTF? I’m not understanding this..
Remember last year, when Paul and Cruz did their filibusters, the Dems MADE them keep talking....why not return the favor?
> It would be very hard with income tax withholding. You’d have to claim 50 allowances. Then the government would disallow more than one or two so everybody that pays taxes gets a refund.
Oh yeah like the Mexicans who actually do file taxes but claim 15 dependents. Yeah may have to go get me some dependents somewhere...: )
Say what you will, they have the courage of their convictions. That said, they’re twisted wicked bastards, but they have real guts. Reaching across the aisle? Not so much for those boys and girls.
That shouldn’t take very long. Republicans fear getting the blame for a “shutdown” even as they eagerly claim blame for a shutdown.
Be more truthful.
Democrat Party and the evil GOPe versus America.
The evil Boehner and the evil McConnell are desirous of the same goals at their RAT comrades. They want 100% Amnesty and totally open borders.
Wishful thinking.
The evil Boehner and the evil McConnel cannot wait to fully fund 100% amnesty.
Their only concern is the "timing." They hide their deceitfulness by acting as though they oppose the RATs.
