Democrats Reject GOP DHS Deal Despite Offering Similar Deal Twice
“In terms of reforms, it includes all of the bipartisan proposals that were included in the deal Dems walked away from in January.”
The Senate Democrats proved once again that they suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome.
The Republicans basically caved to the Democrats, offering them a deal similar to the one the Democrats brought to the floor twice.
The deal funded everything in the Department of Homeland Security except Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO), ICE’s deportation wing.
Ryan Wrasse, communications director for Senate Majority Leader John Thune, explained that the deal “isolates the areas of disagreement (immigration enforcement) while funding the rest of DHS, including TSA.”
“In terms of reforms, it includes all of the bipartisan proposals that were included in the deal Dems walked away from in January,” continued Wrasse.
Guess what.
The Democrats said no.
“Negotiations are ongoing, and they’ve sent us an offer,” said Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. “And we’ll be sending them an offer back. And I can assure you it will contain significant reform in it.”
Again, they do not care about us. Honestly, none of them do, but the Democrats just shouted it from the mountains.
Instead of funding everything except for the parts the Democrats want reformed, they said no.
“We finally just said, ‘Stop. We’ll just fund everything but [Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO)],'” Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) told Fox News. “That’s what you said you wanted at the beginning. Let’s do that.”
It’s not possible to fund the other parts and work on reforms later.
Nope. TSA agents must remain unpaid, and we must suffer at the airports.
“That’s what we’re doing,” added Lankford. “So no extra language, no extra playing with it. We’re doing just the baseline. We don’t like it. They don’t like it. It opens everything up and gets everybody funded again.”
Nope. They want to reform ICE and those reforms must be in any deal before the Democrats accept it.
Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) insisted the Democrats are taking a stand because DHS has enforced immigration through Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
“They’ve created this problem in which it’s really hard to address an immigration enforcement operation that’s out of control because it is funded out of almost every part of the DHS budget,” Murphy told Fox News.
Fox News’s Bill Melugin wrote on X yesterday that the administration has used HSI to enforce immigration laws.

You know, if the majority leader that shall not be named had a set he’d lower the boom, cut the Democrats out and pass not only this funding, but also the SAVE act, a bunch of appointees, etc. You know… Doing their jobs. But no. Have to respect muh precious norms.
#contempt
Agreed. It’s not as if the democrats haven’t done this in the past.
But they’re busily sending me LITERALLY* HUNDREDS of fundraising texts EVERY DAY, demanding to know my opinion on ICE deporting criminal illegals, running airport security, personally receiving a “$5,000 DOGE check,” bombing Iran, and (most importantly) “answering question seven” (which I don’t know what that even is, I”m only familiar with “See Figure One”).
I delete all of these texts (including some text from new clients, buried and hidden in the landslide).
So really, it looks like their failure to buckle down and do their goddamn seven-figure JOBS is literally my fault for not micromanaging them effectively.
*Yes, I mean literally. I’ve counted the little f*rs.
Democratics are contrarians following the principles of their secular Pro-Choice ethical religion.
no pro choice
they are pro death
except when it comes to criminals
Moving the goal posts. It’s what Democrats do.
My solution is for the Republicans to harden their stand too. Also, put up signs at every airport stating that any long lines are due to the democrats refusing to fund DHS.
Also, ban congress from using any and all military aircraft for their travels. Let them scream.
“Also, put up signs at every airport stating that any long lines are due to the democrats refusing to fund DHS.”
And station a burly ICE guy next to each sign with a nametag that says, “HOW DO YOU DO, FELLOW ‘STUDENTS.’.”
A solution: transfer all those unfunded Homeland Security Employees to other federal agencies so they can get paid, even back pay then assign them or detail them back to their original positions under HS. Get the government working again.
and how will the orld see this??
msm: trump says people like to suffer in tsa lines
Dennis Coyle was RELEASED by the taliban
sans one or two publications
the headlines read
taliban frees dennis coyle
if trump was even mentioned at all in the article it was done begrudgingly
“when a reporter asked trump about coyle”…….
the war against our own by the msm is as hurting as the iranian projectiles these same msm support
correction:
world
There is nothing to negotiate over. Just leave it until Democrats come crawling back…and if they dont…then it just stays that way.
This is the way.
So you’re liking the $6 per gallon gas and are willing to sacrifice for the long haul?
By all means go for it.
Cause that’s where Trump has us.
No, that’s where the Dimocrats have us.
There, FIFY.
.
Put the airport security out to bid via the Department of Transportation. Let the current TSA agents apply with the private contractors. At the same time use an executive order to ban unions for airport security personnel on federal contracts. That leaves wiggle room for the local sheriff’s that supply airport security and traffic control. Keep chipping away until the demonrats collapse as a political party.
Look, we’ve given them
nyc
mn
ca
il
or
wa
dc
etc etc
and the still continue to execute our people
with their blmplo armies or their proxies…illegals
the left is relentless in their attacks
and only a. nihilistic defeat of them will suffice
Meanwhile we are spending $2 billion a day in Iran for this.
“Gas prices have passed the $6 mark in SoCal. The cheapest price I saw was $5.90 per gallon, and most were $6.20+”
I’d say Trump needs to get busy.
NOW!
If only newsom hadn’t chased the oil companies out of California. If only California didn’t have insane environmental laws that drove up the price of gasoline there.
Sounds like California is getting what it voted for. Glad I don’t live there.
Would you prefer we had waited until Iran nuked Tel Aviv? Or maybe Rome? They were working on nuclear weapons for a reason.

The airline industry has a lot at stake in this fight. How about if they take the fight to congress even more so than Delta has done. Refuse service to members of congress, Democrat and Republican, until they resolve the issue.
Per Google and the DOT – “Airlines can refuse service to passengers for safety , security [reduced TSA presents], or health reasons, including unruly behavior [congress causing economic harm], intoxication [they must be high to disrupt the country], or carrying a contagious disease [TDS]”. Other grounds include failing to follow safety instructions, wearing offensive clothing [congressional pins], having extreme odor [they smell of arrogance, hubris and vanity], or being unable to sit safely in a seat [most are overweight].
The text in brackets are added by me.
Once they are grounded and experiencing the pain, they will find a way to solve the problem.
And why is this even an issue?
Because RINO Thune is PRETENDING that they have to use their only reconciliation bill on the SAVE act – which DOES NOT meet the requirements for reconciliation and will be rejected.
I am so sick of RINOs and their stupid failure theatre.
I will play one of my broken records: time for a new, truly conservative party. And I do not mean kill-the-fags mandatory-school-prayer can-we-really-trust-Jews conservative.
I mean strict constructionists, and ones willing to form a committee to determine the Constitutionality of every single government agency, bureau, department, and administration including the FBI, CIA, NSA, EPA, Dept of Ed, etc.
Then go through the federal register and give the regulations and laws such an enema it makes prep for a colonoscopy seem to be a walk in the park.
true conservatives dont think that way
the books /leftys told us that so that THEIR version of communism (all are equal) would play well
As I said: true conservatives. A few decades back the GOP, in my circles called Gawd’s Own Party, were on and on about – using a televangelist voice – “the homasekshul agenda!” and how the country went to hell in a hand-basket when prayer was “taken out of our schools”.
Oddly enough, a large percentage of schools didn’t have mandatory “voluntary” prayer in the first place. Yet, our communities were safe, the society was still high-trust in those days. We even survived the pre “under God” pledge days without going to hell.
As soon as the GOP found that Falwell / Robertson wasn’t The Big Sell anymore, they moved on.
Not quite moved on, shifted gears. Now the ‘thing that God wants’ is for Christians to fulfill their holy duty to support the modern nation of Israel. There’s plenty of reasons to support the modern nation of Israel without making religious appeals. Whenever folks start up with the Gott mit Uns and/or Deus Vult propaganda for nearly anything I start heading in the other direction for fear of lightning strikes.
Cool. Move to a.speaking filibuster. Do quorum call every 2 hours. Keep the.Senate in DC. Make it painful. Send the Senate Sgt at Arms to fetch them. Make them choose to stay and stroke out or resign.
The Democrats don’t care. They know Mitch McConnell will stroke out first, and then there will be along vacancy in that seat.
For the the time being, there is a long vagrancy in that seat.
Fine by me, weed them out. There’s plenty of elderly and/or infirm Senators in both parties. For that matter DC is kind of a dangerous place and we do have a major shooting conflict with Iran…and the DHS isn’t being funded and if in an ironic twist a couple dozen d/prog Senators encountered some angry terrorists while out to dinner ….be a real shame about that…but tough cookies.
My ‘team’ ain’t the establishment GoP. My ‘team’ are the center/right populists pushing for basic, common sense. The SAVE act is just that and anyone who is standing in the way of passage ain’t on my ‘team’.
apparently GOP is going to try to push a deal that does not fund ICE “hoping” to fund ICE later through reconciliation.
Make noise. just say no to defunding ICE.
I believe ICE is funded for the next few years out of the ‘big beautiful bill’, payroll anyway. There may be some issues with certain operational funds. Using reconciliation might end up as the only way forward and that’s ok IMO… so long as it is a last resort.
The Senate GOP needs to grow a pair and just set a precedent with 51 votes that cloture drops to 51 on a funding bill after a 30 day lapse in appropriations. The Democrats will never make a deal we can accept. As soon as they get power again, the filibuster is gone. So make a carve out for appropriation bills when funding lapses.
Either that or do a reconciliation bill that funds all of DHS for 3 years.
This is the Communist traitors throwing a temper tantrum because they can’t defund ice. So they’ll cause maximum pain just like a toddler would.
Insane that R’s would cave on this.
Funding everything except ERO would be a massive win for Democrats. They could block it until R’s caved yet again – on the policy changes D’s want to impose on ICE that would effectively make it virtually impossible to do any immigration enforcement at all.
The R leadership thinking they could get it passed under Reconciliation rules is just delusional.
If they could do that, then they ought to simply do it now. First, they’d have to add in new funding, because Reconciliation requires that the bill reduce the deficit. Then, they’d have to get it past the Parliamentarian who can strip out anything he imagines is new policy – and this Parliamentarian has screwed R’s bigtime on previous bills over this (despite having been appointed by R’s).
Fun fact: Obamacare was passed under Reconciliation Rules despite the fact that it was entirely new policy. And the funding that the bill pretending covered the cost of the bill was all smoke and mirrors, virtually none of it ever materialized. Also, the cost estimate of under $800 million over tens years got obliterated immediately – the first three years alone cost $3.2 Billion.
Their hatred of Trump is epic, that’s why. The end.
