参议院共和党领导人周二正式宣布，他们将在围绕国土安全部资金的数月僵局中绕过民主党，自行拨款至多700亿美元用于移民执法。
在数月未能解决国土安全部停摆问题后，共和党如今计划在无需民主党支持的情况下重启政府，不再纳入民主党拒绝背书的争议性移民海关执法局和边境巡逻队经费。新的拟议拨款将确保这些机构的资金覆盖唐纳德·特朗普总统剩余任期——无需与民主党谈判，后者有望在11月的选举后夺回至少一个议院的控制权。
参众两院的共和党领导人将使用复杂的预算策略，在无需民主党议员投票的情况下通过这项有争议的移民拨款法案。
他们于周二上午公布了这一流程的第一步：参议院预算决议案文本。这为参议院本周晚些时候就该议案进行投票铺平了道路。如果投票成功，众议院计划随后迅速跟进。
但这并非稳操胜券。以这种方式通过立法，即所谓的“和解程序”，是一个艰难的过程，需要两院中几乎所有共和党议员的配合才能推进。
而共和党面临着快速行动的压力：众议院议长迈克·约翰逊周二表示，在明确移民海关执法局和边境巡逻队不会出现资金断供之前，他不会推动任何部分拨款的国土安全部法案。（这与参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩的做法形成鲜明对比，图恩几周前推进了一项部分拨款法案，引发了共和党内部的强烈反对。）
“步骤顺序至关重要。我们必须确保不会孤立——正如我所说，‘遗弃’该部门的关键机构，”约翰逊在谈及移民海关执法局和边境巡逻队时表示，“我们内部有人担忧，如果先通过该部门的大部分预算，这两个机构可能会被排除在外。”
当参议院正式将预算决议案提交全院辩论时，将拉开参议员们可能通宵达旦的“投票马拉松”的序幕。这一情况可能在本周晚些时候上演。
Senate GOP unveils $70B immigration plan to circumvent Democrats in bid to end DHS shutdown

Senate GOP leaders formally declared Tuesday that they will attempt to circumvent Democrats in the months-long stalemate over Department of Homeland Security funding and deliver as much as $70 billion for immigration enforcement on their own.
After months of failing to resolve the DHS shutdown, Republicans are now planning to reopen the government without the contentious Immigration and Customs Enforcement and border patrol funding that Democrats have refused to back. The new proposed funding would ensure the agencies are funded through the remainder of President Donald Trump’s term — eliminating the need to negotiate with Democrats, who could take back control of at least one chamber after November’s elections
GOP leaders in the House and Senate will use a complex budgetary maneuver to pass the controversial immigration funding without Democratic votes.
They unveiled the first step of that process — the text of a Senate budget resolution — Tuesday morning. That tees up a Senate vote on the measure later this week. If successful, the House plans to take it up quickly after.
But it’s not a guaranteed win. Passing legislation in this manner, known as reconciliation, is an arduous process, requiring the cooperation of nearly every Republican in both chambers to proceed.
And Republicans are under pressure to move quickly: House Speaker Mike Johnson signaled Tuesday that he would not pass any partial DHS funding package until it is clear that ICE and border patrol will not be left unfunded. (It’s a stark difference from the approach of Senate Majority Leader John Thune, who advanced a partial funding bill several weeks ago, causing an uproar among the GOP.)
“The sequencing is important. We’ve got to make sure that we don’t isolate and as I say, ‘orphan’ key agencies of the department,” Johnson said, referring to ICE and border patrol. “And there’s some concern on our side that if you do the bulk of the department first before that and they could be left out.”
When the Senate officially puts its budget resolution on the floor, it will tee up a likely all-night session for senators, known as a “vote-a-rama.” That could happen later this week.
