The long standoff between Republicans and President Obama ended with a fully funded Homeland Security bill that prevents a partial shutdown.
The USA Today reports that the president signed the Homeland Security funding bill Wednesday after Republicans couldn’t come up with the votes to pass an alternative measure.
Republicans had hoped to end Obama’s executive action on providing more leniency for some immigrants in the country illegally.
“I want to thank members of Congress for getting us a bill that will ensure that we can continue to fund he extraordinary work of our men and women at the Department Homeland Security,” Obama said. “They keep us safe every single day and we want to make sure that they’ve got the resources and support they need to do the job.”
