(WASHINGTON EXAMINER) House Republican leaders, eager to dodge a government funding fight, have proposed a two-part spending plan that aims to block President Obama’s recent directive to stem deportations of illegal immigrants.
The plan would fence off spending for the Department of Homeland Security in a short-term bill that would expire at the end of March, when Republicans will hold the majorities in both the House and the Senate.
All other government spending legislation would be included in a measure that would last until the end of fiscal 2015.
