共和党正利用一项名为预算和解的特殊程序绕过民主党
——查德·珀格拉姆 福克斯新闻
福克斯新闻首席国会通讯员查德·珀格拉姆在《特别报道》节目中报道了国会面临的6月1日边境与移民执法局(ICE)及边境巡逻队拨款截止期限。
这个故事永远不会结束。
截至本财年剩余时间——也就是9月30日——政府仍未获得全额拨款。
没错。众议院和参议院在4月底通过了一项两党法案,为国土安全部的大部分项目提供资金。该法案与参议院3月底单方面通过的法案类似。但众议院直到最近国会休会前才就此法案进行表决。
现在共和党正试图绕过民主党,通过一项为期三年的法案,为ICE和边境巡逻队提供资金。民主党此前未能在ICE方面获得改革,因此不愿提供协助。这就是共和党为何要使用预算和解这一特殊程序来绕过民主党。

唯一的障碍是这需要花费一些时间。目标是在6月1日前通过该法案。
众议院共和党人反驳参议院“精简版”计划,以结束创纪录的国土安全部停摆
共和党国会领导人最初希望该法案尽可能精简,仅为ICE和边境巡逻队提供资金。但在最近的白宫记者协会晚宴发生暗杀企图后,他们将该法案扩大,纳入了为特朗普总统的宴会厅安保提供的10亿美元拨款。
因此民主党发起了针对这笔宴会厅安保拨款的猛烈抨击。

“共和党人说让他们吃蛋糕,还要求美国纳税人为特朗普建造一座宫殿,”参议院少数党领袖查克·舒默(D-纽约州)说道,“这些‘宴会厅共和党人’的选民只有一个:唐纳德·特朗普的虚荣心。”
“总统刚刚推平了白宫东翼。那里现在只是一个等待填补的巨大空洞。原本应该是他的亿万富翁朋友们来填补。现在却要美国纳税人来买单,”参议院少数党党鞭迪克·德宾(D-伊利诺伊州)抱怨道。
参议院共和党领导人最初坚持认为最新的拨款法案只能限于为边境巡逻队和ICE提供资金。
“虽然我个人倾向于在这项和解法案中纳入尽可能多的内容,但可能只会有支持边境巡逻队或ICE的意愿,”南卡罗来纳州共和党众议员拉塞尔·弗莱说道。
但共和党领导人决定在法案中加入10亿美元拨款,这为其他共和党人将其他优先事项塞进这项预算和解法案打开了大门。
“我希望看到《SAVE法案》以某种形式被纳入,”得克萨斯州共和党众议员帕特·法伦在福克斯新闻节目中说道,他指的是一项要求提供公民身份证明才能投票的法案。
“我们可以为美国人民提出很多不错的保守派胜利举措,”北卡罗来纳州共和党众议员格雷格·墨菲在福克斯商业频道节目中说道。
一些支持生命权的共和党人正推动延长对 Planned Parenthood 的资金禁令。该禁令将于今年晚些时候到期。
“这是一个非常棘手的问题。目前一切都在谈判中,”特朗普总统说道。
与此同时,共和党指责民主党回到了“削减警察经费”的老调,因为他们反对为边境巡逻队和ICE提供资金。民主党仍然反对这项拨款,因为在今年明尼苏达州发生相关事件后,他们未能获得他们想要的ICE保护措施。
“我的民主党同僚拒绝为保护我们边境的男女警员提供一分钱,”参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩(R-南达科他州)说道。

为国土安全部提供全额拨款的努力近年来成为了一个焦点问题。太多有争议的政策领域被整合到了一个联邦部门之下。这就是为什么现在有一项两党计划要永久拆分国土安全部。
“它变得太大了。它变得太官僚主义了,”该法案的主要发起人之一、佛罗里达州民主党众议员贾里德·莫斯科维茨说道。
该法案将把联邦紧急事务管理局(FEMA)升格为内阁级部门。特勤局将直接向总统汇报工作。而运输安全管理局(TSA)将划归交通部。
想想在43天的全面政府停摆期间,政府不向TSA支付工资,旅客们有多焦虑。今年冬天到春天,由于国土安全部未获得拨款,同样的情况再次上演。
莫斯科维茨认为他的法案将遏制部分政府停摆情况。并将保护游客免受财政冲击。
“美国民众的出行不能被华盛顿的政治僵局所阻碍,”莫斯科维茨说道。
但这场辩论将留到以后再进行。眼下的问题是,由共和党主导的参众两院能否推进这项法案,完成对ICE和海关与边境保护局(CBP)的拨款。
特勤局局长肖恩·柯伦周二与参议院共和党议员共进午餐时,为这项10亿美元的拨款请求进行了辩护。
阿拉斯加州共和党参议员丽莎·穆尔科斯基在会议结束后表示怀疑,她指出政府需要提供“理由”和“细节”,而不是“仅仅是总额”。

参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩(R-南达科他州)为这项拨款请求进行了辩护。
“过去两年里,总统遭遇了三次暗杀企图。显然,这笔拨款是用于保护这座建筑的。特勤局有保护总统的职责。我们需要确保他们拥有履行职责所需的工具,”图恩说道。
会议结束后,图恩表示柯伦“非常出色地阐述了相关内容,并说明了为何需要这些资源”。
其他议员需要了解更多细节。
“我不知道他们说的是基础设施资金还是其他类型的技术支持,”俄亥俄州共和党众议员戴夫·泰勒说道,“在判断这项请求是否合理之前,我需要看到具体细节。”
要知道,共和党人既想支持总统,又不想让任何附加条款拖慢ICE和边境巡逻队拨款的进度。尤其是在当前这个时间节点。
“议员们正在深入研究。他们想了解其中有多少确实与安保相关,”南达科他州共和党众议员达斯蒂·约翰逊说道,“显然,我们必须确保总统和他的宾客的安全。但当涉及到10亿美元时,议员们会提出很多问题。他们正在深挖细节。我认为我们目前还不清楚最终结果会如何。”

以下是我们目前已知的信息:参议院预算委员会要到下周晚些时候才会召开会议,准备该法案的版本——无论其中包含或不包含哪些内容。
随后参议院必须进行“通宵投票马拉松”来通过这项法案。然后参议院通过的版本将提交众议院。
这场博弈将持续到下周最后几天,也就是阵亡将士纪念日休会前。特朗普总统将6月1日定为完成该法案的截止日期。
众议院刚刚调整了下周的议事日程。众议院要到下周三,也就是5月20日才会进行投票。这意味着众议院可能需要在阵亡将士纪念日周末留在华盛顿,以通过该法案。参众两院都计划在阵亡将士纪念日当周休会。
如果议员们通过该法案,2026财年所有政府拨款的斗争将最终结束。这距离参众两院委员会去年秋天开始听取内阁部门和机构的资金需求证词已经过去了16个月。

然而这个故事还在继续。
即使他们通过了国土安全部的最后一批拨款,议员们又要在今年秋天重新开始支出预算的循环。否则,10月1日又将迎来一次政府停摆。

It never ends: GOP moves to fund border, Democrats blast Trump spending
May 13, 2026 7:18pm EDT / Fox News
Republicans are using a special process called budget reconciliation to bypass Democrats
By Chad Pergram Fox News
Fox News chief congressional correspondent Chad Pergram reports on Congress facing a June 1 deadline for I.C.E. and Border Patrol funding on ‘Special Report.’
This story never ends.
The government is still not fully funded for the rest of the fiscal year – meaning September 30.
Yes. The House and Senate approved a bipartisan bill funding most of the Department of Homeland Security in late April. It’s similar to what the Senate approved unilaterally in late March. But the House never took it up until just before a recent Congressional recess.
Now the GOP is trying to go around Democrats and pass a three-year bill to fund ICE and the Border Patrol. Democrats never secured reforms at ICE. So they aren’t willing to help out. That’s why Republicans are using a special process called budget reconciliation to bypass Democrats.

The only hitch is that it takes a while. The goal is to pass this bill by June 1.
House GOP pushes back on Senate’s ‘skinny’ plan to end record-breaking DHS shutdown
Republican Congressional leaders initially wanted to make this bill rather spare, just funding ICE and Border Patrol. But they expanded that measure to include $1 billion for President Trump’s ballroom security after the recent assassination attempt at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
So Democrats are launching a blitz about the ballroom.

“Republicans say let them eat cake and demand American taxpayers build Trump a palace while they’re at it,” said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) “These ‘ballroom Republicans’ have a constituency of one: Donald Trump’s ego.”
“The president just plowed down the East Wing of the White House. And it sits there as a gaping hole waiting to be filled. It was going to be his billionaire buddies filling it. Now it’s the American taxpayers,” complained Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.)
Senate Republican leaders initially insisted that the latest funding bill only stick to funding Border Patrol and ICE.
“While my personal preference is to put as much as you possibly can in this reconciliation vehicle, there may only be an appetite for Border Patrol or ICE,” said Rep. Russell Fry (R-S.C.)
But the decision by GOP leaders to shove $1 billion into the bill opens the floor for other Republicans to stuff additional priorities into this budget reconciliation measure.
“I’d love to see the SAVE Act in some form or fashion,” said Rep. Pat Fallon (R-Texas) on Fox, referring to the bill which requires proof of citizenship to vote.
“There are a lot of good conservative wins that we can put forth for the American people,” said Rep. Greg Murphy (R-N.C.) on Fox Business.
Some pro-life Republicans are pushing an extension of a ban on money for Planned Parenthood. The prohibition expires later this year.
“It’s been a very thorny issue. It’s all under negotiation right now,” said President Trump.
Meantime, Republicans accuse Democrats of returning to their mantra to defund the police as they fight Border Patrol and ICE funding. Democrats remain opposed because they never secured the safeguards they wanted for ICE after what happened this winter in Minnesota.
“My Democrat colleagues refused to provide a single dollar for the men and women who protect our borders,” said Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD).

Efforts to fully fund the Department of Homeland Security emerged as a flashpoint in recent years. There are too many controversial policy areas fused together under one federal roof. That’s why there’s now a bipartisan plan to permanently split up DHS.
“It’s just become too big. It’s become too bureaucratic,” said Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.), one of the chief sponsors of the bill.
The legislation would make the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) its own cabinet-level department. The Secret Service would report directly to the President. And the Transportation Security Agency (TSA) would head to the Department of Transportation.
Consider the consternation by travelers with the government not paying TSA during the 43-day comprehensive government shutdown. The same thing happened over the winter and into the spring as DHS remained unfunded.
Moskowitz believes his legislation would curb some government shutdowns. And, it would shield tourists from fiscal fallout.
“The American people’s travel cannot be held up in the political dysfunction of Washington,” said Moskowitz.
But that debate is for another day. The immediate question is if the Republican-led House and Senate can advance the package to finish off funding for ICE and CBP.
Secret Service Director Sean Curran met with Senate Republicans over lunch Tuesday to defend the $1 billion request.
Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) was skeptical after she emerged from the meeting, noting that the Administration needed to provide “justifications” and “details,” not “just toplines.”

Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) defended the spending request.
“You’ve got a President with three assassination attempts just in the last two years. And obviously the money that’s in there is about securing the building. And the Secret Service has a job to protect the president. We need to make sure they have the tools to do it,” said Thune.
After the meeting, Thune said Curran “did a very good job of laying it out and developing the case for why these resources need to be used.”
Other lawmakers need to hear more.

“I don’t know if they’re talking about infrastructure dollars or other kind of technology,” said Rep. Dave Taylor (R-Ohio). “I need to see the details before I pass judgment on whether or not the request is reasonable.”
Remember that Republicans want to support the President. But they also don’t want anything attached which will hold up ICE and Border Patrol funding. Especially this late in the game.
“Members are diving in a little bit. They want to understand how much of this is really related to security,” said Rep. Dusty Johnson (R-S.D.) “Obviously, we have to keep the President and his guests safe. But when you’re talking about $1 billion, members are going to ask a lot of questions. They’re digging into details. I don’t think we know exactly how this shakes out yet.”

Here’s what we do know: The Senate Budget Committee won’t meet until late next week to prep its version of the bill – regardless of what’s in or out of it.
The Senate must then conduct a “vote-a-rama” which goes around the clock to adopt the measure. Then whatever the Senate adopts goes to the House.
This won’t play out until the final days of next week, just before the Memorial Day recess. President Trump established June 1 as a deadline for finishing this bill.
The House just adjusted its schedule for next week. The House won’t meet for votes until next Wednesday, May 20. That means there’s a chance the House may need to hang around Washington for part of Memorial Day weekend to pass the bill. The House and Senate are both scheduled to be out of session for Memorial Day week itself.
If lawmakers pass this bill, the fight over all government funding for Fiscal Year 2026 will finally conclude. That’s sixteen months after House and Senate committees were hearing testimony from cabinet departments and agencies about what they needed for last fall.

And yet this story continues.
Even if they pass this final tranche of funding for DHS, lawmakers have to start again on the spending hamster wheel for this fall. Otherwise, there’s another government shutdown on October 1.
