国会并未急于结束这场史上最长的政府停摆,尽管目前已有一项协议和一项备选方案,既能为国土安全部(DHS)提供资金,又能为未来多年的移民执法行动筹集资金。

参众两院议员已在复活节前后离开华盛顿,开始为期两周的休会,预计直到下周一才会返回。与此同时,共和党人提出了相互竞争的方案,如果不能迅速达成一致,可能会将资金对峙局面拖至夏季。

在与国会民主党人交锋近两个月后,本次停摆的拉锯战如今演变为两党团内共和党之间的内斗。这一发展态势,以及在如何重新开放国土安全部问题上的分歧,有可能延长停摆时间。

参议院多数党领袖、南达科他州共和党人约翰·图恩在4月初参议院再次通过国土安全部拨款法案后不久表示,鉴于参议院民主党人阻挠为移民海关执法局(ICE)和海关与边境保护局(CBP)提供资金,除非出台严格的改革措施,否则结束停摆的“选择有限”。

“我想问问任何不认同我们做法的人:给出一个更好的主意,另一个选择方案,”图恩说。“我们最终将拭目众院将如何应对。”

当众议院本周二复会时,本次停摆将达到59天。

参议院已通过其拨款法案,该法案将为国土安全部提供资金,同时为移民海关执法局和部分海关与边境保护局划拨资金,最终目标是通过政党线预算和解程序为移民执法提供资金。

“我们并未妥协”:图恩强调舒默与民主党在国土安全部拨款协议中的损失

众议院共和党人此前否决了该方案。但在唐纳德·特朗普总统要求在6月1日前将包含移民海关执法局和海关与边境保护局资金的和解方案提交给他后,众议院议长、路易斯安那州共和党人迈克·约翰逊向参议院做出了让步。

尽管如此,众议院共和党人对不得不再次审议参议院的妥协方案感到愤怒,并威胁要进一步延长停摆时间。

众议院近日曾有机会通过该法案,但共和党人选择了放弃。相反,他们举行了一次党团电话会议,议员们表示,除非和解方案取得实质性进展,否则他们不会对参议院的方案投赞成票。

众议院保守派自由党团周二进一步采取行动,给这些计划制造了障碍。该团体希望通过一项单一的预算和解法案为整个部门提供资金。

“我们不能让移民海关执法局和海关与边境保护局悬而未决,只能寄希望于和解方案2.0能够达成,”该团体在社交媒体上写道。“这就是为什么我们必须利用和解程序为国土安全部的所有部门提供全额资金。”

众议院共和党人在复会后是否会团结在这一要求周围还有待观察,但这为国会民主党人在 ongoing 停摆的舆论战中提供了弹药。

参议院少数党领袖查克·舒默,D-N.Y.,将此次停摆称为“约翰逊停摆”。

“这是共和党造成的停摆,”舒默告诉CNN。“他只要把那项法案提交到议会,就会以压倒性优势通过。所以共和党人根本没有统一立场,他们对此焦头烂额。”

特朗普在3月份动用现有资金为所有国土安全部雇员支付工资后,国会采取行动的压力有所缓解。但目前尚不清楚,如果没有国会新的拨款,这一安排能否持续数月。

与此同时,跳过常规政府拨款程序可能会开创一个新的先例。

通常情况下,拨款委员会会起草拨款法案,为构成联邦政府的12个机构提供资金。这是一个两党合作的过程,双方通常都能有所收获。

但使用预算和解程序会将权力从拨款委员会手中转移出去,搁置两党合作进程。

“共和党人已经决定走这条路,所以他们应该对这个先例保持谨慎,”马里兰州民主党参议员克里斯·范·霍伦说道。

Congress is in no rush to end the longest shutdown in history, despite having a deal in place and a backup plan that could both fund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and secure cash for immigration operations for years to come.

Lawmakers in both chambers left Washington for a two-week recess around Easter and are not scheduled to return until Monday. Meanwhile, Republicans have pitched rival plans that, if not quickly resolved, could prolong the funding standoff into the summer.

After nearly two months of fighting with congressional Democrats, the shutdown back and forth has now evolved into infighting among the GOP across both chambers. That development, and differing views on how to reopen the Department of Homeland Security, threaten to prolong the shutdown.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., said shortly after the Senate again passed its Department of Homeland Security funding bill in early April that there are “limited options” for ending the shutdown, given Senate Democrats’ blockade against funding Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) without stringent reforms.

“My question for anybody who doesn’t like what we did is: give me a better idea. Give me another option,” Thune said. “We’ll see, ultimately, what the House does with it.”

When the House returns Tuesday, the shutdown will have reached 59 days.

The Senate has its spending bill, which would fund the Department of Homeland Security while carving out funding for ICE and parts of CBP, with the end goal of funding immigration enforcement through the party-line budget reconciliation process.

House Republicans previously rejected that plan. But after President Donald Trump demanded a reconciliation package with ICE and CBP funding on his desk by June 1, House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., ceded to the Senate.

Still, Republicans in the lower chamber are furious that they again have to consider the Senate’s compromise deal and are threatening to further prolong the shutdown.

The House had an opportunity in recent days to pass the bill, but Republicans opted against it. Instead, they held a conference call where lawmakers said they would not vote for the Senate plan until there was meaningful progress on a reconciliation package.

The conservative House Freedom Caucus took that a step further Tuesday, throwing a wrench into those plans. The group wants to fund the entire department through a single budget reconciliation bill.

“We cannot leave ICE and CBP hanging with nothing but hopes and prayers that reconciliation 2.0 comes together,” the group wrote on social media. “That’s why we must use reconciliation to fully fund all of the Department of Homeland Security.”

Whether House Republicans coalesce behind that demand when they return remains to be seen, but it has given congressional Democrats ammunition in the ongoing shutdown messaging war.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., dubbed the closure the “Johnson shutdown.”

“It’s a Republican shutdown,” Schumer told CNN. “All he had to do was put that bill on the floor, and it would have passed overwhelmingly. So Republicans are hardly unified. They’re squirming about.”

Some pressure has eased on Congress to act after Trump in March moved to pay all Department of Homeland Security employees using existing funds. However, it is unclear whether that arrangement can last for several months without new appropriations from Congress.

Meanwhile, leapfrogging the typical government funding process could establish a new precedent.

Normally, appropriators craft spending bills to fund the dozen agencies that make up the federal government. It’s a bipartisan process in which both sides typically walk away with a win.

But using budget reconciliation shifts that power away from appropriators and sidelines the bipartisan process.

“Republicans have decided to take that route, so they should be very wary about the precedent,” said Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md.
