Boehner told anyone that would listen that if they pass the “cromnibus budget” with DHS funding left out, he would fight on a later date. They did, he didn’t. Don’t see much difference between Harry Reid and Boehner at this point.

Dec. 11, 2014 – House Speaker John Boehner said passage of the cromnibus avoided a government shutdown, and also gives Republicans an opportunity to readdress DHS funding in February — a move he says will help them push back against President Obama’s executive actions on immigration.

 

“By the House’s action, we are setting up a direct challenge to the president’s unilateral actions on immigration next month, when there will be new Republican majorities in both chambers,” he said. “The Senate should act on this bipartisan legislation in short order.”_John Boehner
