Much like the squabble over the government shutdown a few years back, the DHS funding bill is essentially the same thing, just on a smaller scale. Conservatives need to hold their ground and say no to a clean bill.

Shut it down. Don’t blink. This is the only way for Republicans in both houses to show what power of the purse really means, and at the same time stopping the unconstitutional actions of a failed president.

The DHS is a duplication of efforts anyway. What does DHS do that the FBI, CIA, NSA, and ATF don’t already do as far as limiting terrorists activity? Border security can be done by national guard, there is no need to be in a rush to cave under democratic or media pressure, but I repeat myself.

“What McConnell has isn’t a plan but a cop out,” said Tristan Daedalus, the spokesman. “The whole point of restricting funds from being used for unconstitutional orders inside the funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security is to exercise the power of the purse. By divorcing these two pieces of the bill, the Majority Leader is showing that he is more concerned with acquiescing to the ridiculous demands of the Democratic Caucus than for standing up for the institution of Congress.”
