Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.) called on Senate Republicans on Sunday to move a government funding package without funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in order to avoid a partial government shutdown at the end of the week.

Schumer urged Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) and House GOP leaders to drop the Homeland Security appropriations bill, which would fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), from the six-bill funding package that is due to come to the Senate floor this week.

“Senate Democrats will not allow the current DHS funding bill to move forward,” Schumer said in a statement Sunday afternoon.

“”””“Senate Democrats will not allow the current DHS funding bill to move forward,” Schumer said in a statement Sunday afternoon.”””

So shut down the government again. Nobody cares.

If this showdown forces the GOP to finally consider eliminating the filibuster then I say, bring it on.

Take the vote. Get her done...DHS is much more than immigration...

Then legislate immigration separately...

But it's stupid to tie the hands of LE....and not the hands of criminals and antagonists and rabble rousers at these protests. Had Pretti minded his own business...he'd be alive today. And he's what I would consider..."A Professional Protester". Wonder who was behind him??
