Senators say they’re concerned that a bicameral dispute over the appropriations bill funding the Department of Homeland Security could derail efforts to avert a government shutdown.
The House and Senate have until March 22 to pass the final six of the 12 appropriations bills that fund the government and narrowly averted a partial shutdown by passing the first set of six last week. Appropriators are struggling to reach a deal on the six remaining bills, which fund the Pentagon, State Department, Labor Department, Health and Human Services Department, DHS, and foreign operations.
House leaders want the Biden administration to resume construction of the border wall and reinstitute the Remain in Mexico policy established under former President’s salary from the department’s budget and end funding for the Biden administration’s CBP One application, which the agency uses to process migrants being paroled into the country.Asked late last month if he thought the problems could be resolved by the March 22 deadline, Murphy said the onus was on House Republicans.
