Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD) said that House Democrats should propose full-year funding for most agencies under the Department of Homeland Security while withholding funding for immigration enforcement activities as Democrats try to rein in the White House’s aggressive immigration crackdown, Bloomberg reports.
Said Hoyer: “There’s some things in there that need to be funded.”
He added: “We’re going to hold out until we have an agreement which is why we want to fund the rest. Now the Republicans can oppose it and say you don’t get this, but that’s not a very good political position for them to be in.”
