参议院共和党人担忧民主党会在秋季迫使政府停摆，正着手研究防止政府拨款再次被用作政治武器的办法。
共和党目前正处于通过党派预算和解程序为联邦移民执法提供资金的早期阶段——这一策略将彻底排除民主党参与该进程。
此次行动背景是国土安全部（DHS）仍处于停摆状态，而60多天前民主党曾拒绝为移民海关执法局（ICE）和海关与边境保护局（CBP）提供拨款，除非共和党同意严苛的改革措施，包括搜查令要求以及探员身份公开。

参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩（南达科他州共和党人）表示“这是个好主意”，并称相关对话正在进行中，探讨如何将一项条款纳入和解法案，使其能够严格遵守参议院关于党派程序可允许事项的规则。
他周二下午在国会山对记者表示，共和党曾在去年的政府停摆期间尝试通过立法防止未来再次出现停摆，但未能成功。
“如果我们能找到落实这一目标的方法——任何能确保民主党不会再次拿政府运作玩党派政治游戏的举措，都将是不错的结果，”图恩说道。
曾推动反政府停摆立法的密苏里州共和党参议员乔希·霍利对共和党能否将此类条款纳入整体法案持怀疑态度。

“我会支持这项举措，”霍利告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，“但这会实现吗？在我看来可能性微乎其微。不过我认为这项法案已经成型，文本已经公布，事实就是如此。”
他警告称，随着本财年9月结束，国会“可能会再次面临这一问题”，因为“民主党正摆出绑架人质的姿态”。
“可悲的是，他们挟持的人质是本国的工薪阶层，”霍利继续说道，“如果他们真的在9月再次让政府停摆——这极有可能发生，我认为那将是一场灾难。”
然而，民主党将共和党的和解举措视为发起反攻的绝佳机会。
参议院少数党领袖、纽约州民主党人查克·舒默表示，其所在政党将提出多项针对国内民生负担问题的修正案。

当被问及既然共和党计划为ICE和边境巡逻队提供三年半的拨款，民主党在移民执法改革问题上是否做得太过火时，舒默反驳称美国民众希望做出改变，而共和党正“陷入困境”。
“他们正把自己拧成椒盐卷饼，”这位纽约州资深参议员说道，“他们给了我们一个机会，让我们强调和解进程中美国民众面临的首要问题。所以我们民主党人在过往行动上立场坚定、团结一致。”

如果共和党无法彻底终结政府停摆，另一种选择或许是确保联邦工作人员至少能获得薪资。
威斯康星州共和党参议员罗恩·约翰逊告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，他一直在推动众议院——目前尚未就参议院的专项国土安全部拨款法案进行投票——纳入他提出的《停摆公平法案》，该法案将在政府停摆期间向联邦雇员支付薪资，还可能成为安抚对参议院法案不满的保守派的加分项。

“我的意思是，他们相当不满，我猜是因为他们在参议院的行动计划方面并未得到充分告知，”约翰逊说道，“我们当时只是在尽所能为机构提供资金，以免耗尽和解方案中的灵活拨款，但这只是走个流程。”
“所以，我们越早通过这项部分国土安全部拨款法案越好——我只是认为，如果民主党能允许该法案通过无记名一致同意投票，那么如果我们只是添加了他们的工会极力争取的内容，他们应该不会很难投票支持这项完全相同的法案，”他补充道。

Republicans eye ending government shutdowns forever over fears Dems will do it again
April 22, 2026 2:28pm EDT / Fox News
Senate Republicans are worried that Democrats will force a government shutdown in the fall, and are eyeing ways to prevent government funding from being weaponized ever again.
Republicans are in the early stages of funding federal immigration enforcement through the party-line budget reconciliation process — a maneuver that would cut Democrats out of the process altogether.
The push comes as the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) remains closed after Democrats more than 60 days ago refused to fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) unless Republicans agreed to stringent reforms, including warrant requirements and agents unmasking.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., said “it was a great idea,” and claims conversations were ongoing about how to include a measure in the reconciliation package that could survive the strict Senate rules dictating what can and can’t be done through the partisan process.
He told reporters on Capitol Hill Tuesday afternoon that Republicans tried and failed during the government shutdown last year to pass legislation that would prevent future shutdowns.
“If we could figure out a way to execute on that — anything that we can do that would ensure that the Democrats don’t decide once again to play partisan political games with the function of our government would be a good outcome,” Thune said.
Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., who has pushed legislation to prevent shutdowns, was skeptical about whether Republicans could actually get that kind of measure into the broader package.

“I would support that,” Hawley told Fox News Digital. “Will that happen? It seems to me to be pretty unlikely. But I think this package is baked, the text is out, it is what it is.”
He warned that Congress likely “would be facing this again” when the current fiscal year ends in September because “the Democrats are in a hostage taking sort of mood.”
“And sadly, the hostages they’re taking are for working people of this country,” Hawley went on. “And if they shut down the government again in September, which they very well may, well, that would just be disastrous, I think.”
Democrats, however, view the GOP’s reconciliation push as a prime opportunity to go on the offensive.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said his party will unload several amendments that target affordability issues in the country.

When asked if Democrats had overplayed their hand on immigration enforcement reforms now that Republicans plan to fund ICE and Border Patrol for three and a half years, Schumer countered that Americans wanted changes and that Republicans were “tied in a knot.”
“They’re twisting themselves in a pretzel,” the senior senator from New York said. “They’re giving us an opportunity to emphasize the number one issue facing the American people in terms of reconciliation. So we Democrats are staunch and united in what we did.”

If Republicans can’t stop shutdowns, another option could be ensuring that federal workers are at least paid.
Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., told Fox News Digital that he’s been pushing the House — which has so far not voted on the Senate’s carve-out DHS funding bill — to include his Shutdown Fairness Act, which would pay federal employees during closures and possibly act as a sweetener to conservatives frustrated by the Senate’s bill.

“I mean, they’re pretty upset about, I guess, not really being informed in terms of what the Senate was gonna do here,” Johnson said. “We were just doing what we could do to fund the agencies so we don’t deplete the flexible funding we had in reconciliation, but the box ticking on that.”
“So, the sooner we pass the partial DHS funding bill — I just think if Democrats would allow that bill to be passed by unanimous consent, I think they [wouldn’t] have a hard time voting for that exact same bill if all we’re adding is something their unions are lobbying hard to get,” he continued.
