参议院共和党人正在推进一项分两步走的计划,以结束创纪录的美国国土安全部(DHS)停摆,但众议院共和党同僚告诉福克斯新闻数字频道,他们并不支持这一策略。

众多众议院共和党人愈发感到不满:即将推出的纯共和党拨款法案,除了在11月中期选举前为移民执法提供资金外,并未纳入其他政策优先事项。

“我认为我们还有最后一次和解的机会,”北卡罗来纳州共和党众议员帕特·哈里斯根在接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访时表示,“我知道有些人说有两次机会,但我觉得我们只有一次板上钉钉的机会。”

“我倾向于把法案规模做大,”他补充道,并提到了国防拨款和负担能力方面的担忧,“我们有很多重要事务要推进,必须把它们落实到位。”

北卡罗来纳州共和党众议员帕特·哈里斯根主张扩大预算和解法案的范围,纳入国防拨款和生活成本相关的优先事项,但他告诉福克斯新闻数字频道,最终将尊重众议院共和党领导层的指导。

“我尚未下定决心,”众议院自由核心小组成员、路易斯安那州共和党众议员克莱·希金斯告诉福克斯新闻数字频道,他指的是参议院的做法,“我对此存在疑虑。我们认为法案应该更全面。”

参议院周四早些时候几乎全党派投票通过了一项预算决议,将在唐纳德·特朗普总统剩余任期内为美国移民海关执法局(ICE)和美国海关与边境保护局(CBP)提供资金。

此前参议院少数党领袖、纽约州民主党众议员查克·舒默拒绝在提案中加入全面改革的情况下为该部门提供资金,因此共和党正通过党派预算和解程序绕过民主党,仅依靠共和党议员的投票为移民执法提供资金。

众议院议长、路易斯安那州共和党众议员迈克·约翰逊正力争最早于下周通过参议院的预算决议,届时他仅能承受寥寥数票的反对。唐纳德·特朗普总统已设定6月1日的最后期限,要求通过纯共和党法案全面为移民执法提供资金,迫使共和党人迅速行动,容不得半点差错。

在国土安全部停摆之前,众议院共和党领导层曾透露,将推出《一个宏大美好法案》的预算和解续集,纳入一系列多样化的优先事项,例如国防补充拨款、针对欺诈行为的开支削减以及旨在降低生活成本的政策。

普通共和党议员担忧即将出台的预算法案不会包含这些条款,这有可能危及这一时间表。

众议院保守派还强烈反对参议院通过一项两党合作的部分国土安全部拨款法案,该法案将移民海关执法局和边境巡逻队从正常拨款程序中剥离,使这两个机构无法获得资金。

在参议院民主党人多次阻挠国土安全部拨款法案后,参议院通过了一项立法,为民主党人会支持的部分国土安全部部门提供资金。众议院尚未审议该法案。

“参议院送交的法案完全无法被保守派接受,”众议院自由核心小组主席、马里兰州共和党众议员安迪·哈里斯周四在谈及参议院的部分国土安全部法案时表示,“我们绝不会以任何方式投票支持为移民执法拨款为零的法案,”他补充道。

“需要通过和解法案为移民海关执法局和边境保护局提供资金,这一前提令我反感,”希金斯告诉福克斯新闻数字频道,“这种事在国会山从未有过,拿出一项拨款法案,挑挑拣拣剔除你不想要的内容,孤立整个机构……我反对这整个前提。”

参议院共和党人基本一致支持将法案范围收窄,担心添加更多内容可能会阻碍议员们的推进进度。

参议院预算委员会主席、南卡罗来纳州共和党众议员林赛·格雷厄姆试图加快后续预算法案的通过流程,仅邀请参议院司法委员会和参议院国土安全与政府事务委员会两个委员会参与该程序。

“绝大多数共和党人团结一致,做成了民主党人拒绝配合的事:在特朗普总统任期内,为边境巡逻队和移民海关执法局提供三年半的全额资金,”格雷厄姆在上议院通过预算蓝图后于周四表示,“作为参议院预算委员会主席,我为我的同僚们感到非常自豪。”

尽管如此,一些参议院共和党人同意众议院同僚的观点,希望扩大后续法案的规模,因为他们担心在中期选举前不会再有第二次机会。

路易斯安那州共和党参议员约翰·肯尼迪认为,尽管领导层承诺今年晚些时候可能会推出第三项和解法案,但共和党人仍应尝试扩大法案规模。

“我不是说有人在撒谎,他们没有。人们可能确实打算推出第三项和解法案,”肯尼迪在参议院议场说道,“但你面前的可不是小鹿斑比的弟弟,不会有第三项和解法案的。你清楚这点……我也清楚。这就是最后机会了。这是离开车站的末班车。”

目前尚不清楚众议院最终是否会修改参议院为移民执法提供资金的预算蓝图。

对决议案的任何修改都将把法案退回参议院进行和解,并且在国会正式启动和解程序之前,还需要进行多轮马拉松式投票。

与此同时,国土安全部本周警告称,其资金不足,无法继续支付员工薪资至5月。

4月初,特朗普下令该部门动用现有资金,为在2月中旬开始的拨款停摆期间被休假或上岗却未领到薪水的联邦雇员补发工资。

House GOP pushes back on Senate’s ‘skinny’ plan to end record-breaking DHS shutdown

Some Republicans want defense funding, spending cuts and cost-of-living measures added to the next budget bill

NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles!

Senate Republicans are forging ahead with a two-step plan to end the record-breakingDepartment of Homeland Security (DHS) shutdown, but their House counterparts tell Fox News Digital they are not on board with the strategy.

A swath of House Republicans have voiced growing frustration that a forthcoming GOP-only funding package does not include other policy priorities beyond funding immigration enforcement ahead of November’s midterm elections.

“I think we’ve got one last opportunity for reconciliation,” Rep. Pat Harrigan, R-N.C., told Fox News Digital in an interview. “I know some people are talking about two, but I think we’ve got one guaranteed shot.”

“I like the idea of making it bigger,” he added, mentioning defense funding and affordability concerns. “We’ve got a lot of important stuff to do and we need to get it done.”

Rep. Pat Harrigan, R-N.C., is advocating for a larger budget reconciliation package that could include defense funding and cost-of-living priorities, but he told Fox News Digital he would ultimately defer to House GOP leadership’s guidance.

ICE SHUTDOWN FIGHT MIGHT RESTRICT FEMA, COAST GUARD TO ‘LIFE-THREATENING’ EMERGENCIES

“I’m undecided,” Rep. Clay Higgins, R-La., a member of the House Freedom Caucus, told Fox News Digital, referring to the Senate’s approach. “I’ve got issues with it. We believe it should be more expansive.”

The Senate approved a budget resolution early Thursday largely along party lines that would fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for the rest of President Donald Trump’s term.

Republicans are pursuing the partisan budget reconciliation process to bypass Democrats and fund immigration enforcement with GOP votes after Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., refused to fund the department without sweeping reforms added to the proposal.

House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., is racing to pass the Senate’s budget resolution as early as next week, at which point he can afford to lose only a handful of votes. President Donald Trump has set a June 1 deadline to fully fund immigration enforcement through a GOP-only bill, forcing Republicans to act quickly with little room for error.

Before the DHS shutdown, House Republican leadership teased a budget reconciliation sequel to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act that would incorporate a diverse set of priorities, such as a defense supplemental package, spending cuts targeting fraud and policies aimed at lowering the cost of living.

Concerns among rank-and-file Republicans that a forthcoming budget bill will not include those provisions threaten to jeopardize that timeline.

House conservatives have also fiercely objected to the Senate passing a bipartisan partial DHS bill carving out ICE and the Border Patrol from the normal appropriations process and keeping those two agencies unfunded.

After Democrats in the upper chamber repeatedly filibustered DHS funding bills, the Senate approved legislation funding parts of the department that Democrats would support. The House has yet to take up that legislation.

“The bill the Senate sent over is totally unacceptable to conservatives,” House Freedom Caucus Chairman Andy Harris, R-Md., said Thursday, referring to the upper chamber’s partial DHS bill. “We will never vote or support in any way a bill that puts in a zero” for immigration enforcement, he added.

“The very premise of needing a reconciliation bill to pass funding for ICE and CBP is repulsive to me,” Higgins told Fox News Digital. “That sort of thing has never been done up here, to take an appropriations bill and sort of cherry pick what you don’t want in it and isolate whole agencies … I’m against that whole premise.”

Senate Republicans are largely unified on keeping the package as narrow as possible out of concern that adding more to the pot could stall lawmakers’ progress.

Senate Budget Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., has sought to expedite the passage of a forthcoming budget bill by involving in the process just two panels —the Senate Judiciary and the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committees.

“The vast majority of Republicans stuck together to do something Democrats are refusing to do: Fully fund the Border Patrol and ICE for three and a half years through the Trump presidency,” Graham said Thursday after the upper chamber adopted the budget blueprint. “As Senate Budget Committee Chairman, I am very proud of my colleagues.”

Still, some Senate Republicans agree with their House colleagues who want to supersize the forthcoming package out of fear that they may not get another shot before the midterms.

Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., argued that Republicans should try to beef up the package despite promises from leadership that there could be a third bite at the apple later in the year.

“I’m not saying anybody’s lying, they’re not. People probably intend to do a third reconciliation bill,” Kennedy said on the Senate floor. “But you’re not looking at Bambi’s baby brother here. There won’t be a third reconciliation bill. You know it … and I know it. This is it. This is the last train leaving the station.”

It is unclear whether the House will ultimately modify the Senate’s budget blueprint funding immigration enforcement.

Any changes to the resolution would kick it back to the Senate for reconciliation and require another marathon vote series before Congress could officially unlock the reconciliation process.

DHS, meanwhile, has warned this week it is short on funds to continue paying its employees through May.

Earlier in April, Trump ordered the department to use existing funds to provide back pay to federal employees who had been furloughed or reported to work without their salary during the funding lapse, which began in mid-February.
