Correct...if this were the actual budget vs. a mere “funding” bill...the way this place has been operating is completely screwed up.
Of course the media isn’t helping by phrasing everything in terms of “immigration” vs. illegal activity on the part of the President to implement new policies. Not deporting could be stretched to say it is “discretion”, but giving work permits is not “prosecutorial discretion” it is implementing completely new law to supersede the statutes.
And declaring that he is not going to enforce the law for millions of illegals is a defacto repeal of the law, which only Congress can do.
