What isn’t clear from reading the article is if this short term funding of DHS also funds DHS to grant resident status, work permits and Social Security numbers to more than 4 million illegal immigrants.
If it does, the fight is over, Republicans surrendered.
If it does not, what is the point of kicking this can three weeks down the road? What do Boehner and McConnell expect to change between now and then, other than tell the country they’re just bluffing until no one is looking?
Just enough time to buy a court diecision to overturn the Texas judge.
And no one sees this?
I read that funding this thing somehow legalizes it and 8 months is not a “short term” extension.
