“They came, they saw, they blinked. The House of Representatives passed a bill on Tuesday funding the Department of Homeland Security through the end of September, effectively ending a congressional standoff …. The bill, identical to a measure that cleared the Senate last Friday, passed by a margin of 257 to 167, with 75 Republicans and 182 Democrats voting in favor. The bill did not include language preventing President Obama from moving forward with his proposal to shelter millions of undocumented immigrants in the U.S. from deportation by offering them work permits. The outcome marks a stinging defeat for conservatives in Congress, who had demanded that any bill to fund DHS include language tying the president’s hands on immigration.” Source: CBS News
