(WASHINGTON EXAMINER) The White House has been noticeably quiet as Republicans prepare a funding plan that would guarantee a fight over President Obama’s immigration action in early 2015.
That’s because Obama doesn’t think he’ll lose that showdown.
The president has declined to issue a veto threat as Republicans build support for a legislative package that would fund the federal government, except for the Department of Homeland Security, through the end of the fiscal year. The legislation would fund DHS just through February, when Republicans believe they would have more leverage to confront Obama on his executive action to spare up to 5 million undocumented immigrants from deportation.
