This bill would allow the Dept. of Homeland Security to be fully operational through February 8th without new funding for the wall while Congress and the White House try to reach a deal on border security. It’s irresponsible to allow such a crucial agency be impacted by a shutdown.
This bill has no chance of becoming law, and if Democratic lawmakers are serious about reopening agencies impacted by the partial government shutdown they need to make a deal that gives President Donald Trump more border security funding.
