Boehner to bring clean DHS bill, as Democrats demand

House Speaker John Boehner will bring a Democrat-backed, clean Department of Homeland Security funding bill to the House as early as Tuesday – at the same time the eyes of the nation are going to be turned toward Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his much-anticipated address to Congress.

Netanyahu is set to speak on the forging nuclear deal between America and Iran. Against this backdrop, Boehner is due to bring forward a bill that would effectively put an end to congressional fights over President Obama's executive action on immigration.

Fox News reported that the bill is headed for movement on Tuesday, though two unnamed GOP sources in the House familiar with the discussions said the measure was more likely to hit the floor for a vote on Wednesday, CNN reported.

Democrats suggest they forged the deal with Boehner last week, in trade for votes to avert a partial government shutdown.

"I don't want to discuss how it's going to come up, because I don't know," said House Democratic whip Steny Hoyer, in The Hill. "But we on Friday came to a conclusion that in fact it will come up."

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi seemed to suggest in a letter to the House Democratic Caucus on Friday a deal had in fact been made. She wrote, The Hill reported: "Your vote tonight will assure that we will vote for full funding next week."

At the same time, Pelosi denied she cut a deal with Boehner.

"I never said there was a deal," she said, The Hill reported. "Read the letter carefully."

CNN, meanwhile, reported that a Republican would actually bring the bill as a "privileged resolution," a means of taking a speedy vote with little-to-no discussion. A Democrat technically could push for this type of vote – but sources familiar with the plan say it will be a Republican who moves it, CNN reported.

House Republicans are due to meet Tuesday to discuss DHS funding again, CNN said. And some, predictably perhaps, aren't happy with the direction the bill seems to be taking.

"Congress isn't going to be strong until we start standing up for what we have jurisdiction over," said Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Arizona, in an interview with The Hill about Obama's immigration actions. "I've been very forthright in the challenge [to Boehner], as have my colleagues and friends: Don't go here. This is wrong."

But establishment conservatives have kicked off a concerted advertising campaign to pressure reluctant members of the Republican Party to vote for the bill. Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus has joined with Boehner's former chiefs of staff to help with a $400,000 advertising drive by American Action Network.

Among the targets of the 30-second television spots: Reps. Tim Huelskam, Jim Bridenstine and Jim Jordan, three Republicans who've staunchly opposed Obama's amnesty action, Breitbart reported.
