How about a 3 week DHS Extension that Required Senate go to Conference - anyone on FR support that?
27 Feb 2015 | 11th va

The optics look really bad without the House sending something to the Senate. If I were Speaker I'd try and send a bill that required Senate go to conference - that would make them look bad if they failed to agree - what say you?

How does that work - 51 votes via conference - is that why the Rats won’t agree?

But Reid won’t let a conference happen.

That’s why I like this House Freedom Conference idea.

The best option is to approve the original house bill in the Senate via the nuclear option and lay it on Obama’s desk. Why wont the Republicans do this?

If Homeland Security can’t secure the border, and won’t deport the border-jumpers, then what is the point?

By the way, You would never know it but 170 dems voted with 50 reps to save the country... I know the dems had Nefarious goals vice Virtuous ones. But they did in the end Support the Constitution and Hurt their Evil cause in the end... Funny the Main Stream Media is not mentioning this!

If (and he is) obama is breaking the LAW with Amnesty, Men of Principles (Not Party) HAVE to VOTE this DOWN!!! Yes it is That SIMPLE!!!

Yes, It Was the Right Thing to Do! Of this there is No Doubt!

How about nuclear option the Senate, pass the bill as is and send it to Obamas desk and have him take the heat for the shutdown of DHS.

Stand firm until January 20, 2017.

Agree.

Shut it all down. If they aren’t defending our borders, what’s the point? It’s a ‘do nothing’ jobs program if there’s no difference between legal and illegal.

Defund Education, the IRS, etc. Shut it all down. We’re 18 trillion in debt.

Or: Tie funding of any federal handouts to Dems doing what we want. Their folks would be up in arms and rioting and we can wait it out.

NO, when something is BAD, just scrap the thing. This voting to get along only makes for some very bad bills, that turn into smelly laws.!!

Does this mean that the Old Guard Republicans have finally listened to the Voice of The People? Or maybe it’s just wistful thinking on our part.

I am perfectly OK with shutting it down.
Shut the whole damn thing down.
Let the chips fall where they may.

Me TOO!!!

DHS should be shut down enough so that Obama cannot play his games with our immigration system.

Even if the entire Agency was denied funding all essential personnel will be going to work anyway.Only the non-essential paper-pushers will be staying home.

I say Kill the Agencies funding.Let Obama squirm for a while.

The Senate should vote on the bill already passed by the House or nothing.

Thank goodness
Now I can sleep,
I was terrified that at midnight shutdown time all the ISIS terrorists would attack everywhere here with the DHS shutdown.

I would only support a complete and permanent defumding of DHS and its abolition.
