GOP Pragmatism: Homeland Security Department funded for Now

At least they aren't going to shut down parts of the government again.

Congress closed in Friday on approving a short-term spending bill for the Homeland Security Department that would avert a partial agency shutdown hours before it was to begin.

The legislation also leaves intact Obama administration executive actions on immigration that Republicans have vowed to overturn. But Republicans insisted that passing a short-term bill preserved their ability to keep fighting them.

An early vote in the House clearing the way for final passage of the bill was approved easily, 240-183.

The GOP blinks for once. Hopefully, they will get some actual reform done and we can solve immigration problem more or less.
