GOP senators: Trump on board with DHS funding plan

Source: UPI

President Donald Trump is willing to accept a Homeland Security funding plan that excludes funds for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, unnamed White House officials told media outlets Tuesday.

The plan includes using reconciliation to get the ICE funding and parts of the SAVE Act, which would allow it to pass without votes from Democrats, the sources told The Hill.

"Conversations are still ongoing, but at this point this seems to be an acceptable solution," a White House official told NewsNation.

"All I can say is that the discussions have been very positive and productive, and hopefully headed in the right direction," said Senate Republican leader John Thune, R-S.D., late Monday.

We have been proposing this exact thing nine times in the Senate. Patty Murray had a bill that does exactly that. It was blocked every time by the republicans. Now you have Kennedy and Cruz, who took up the idea and claim to be saving the day.

The parliamentarian will exclude it from the bill.

Thune knows this - it is a shrewd move on his part.

The parliamentarian during the big corporate bill, but, maybe I’m wrong.

But no--the process items cannot be a part of reconciliation. And IIRC, they a get but a single bite at the reconciliation apple per annual budget cycle. They may want to save it for the defense supplemental....
