Not even six hours passed before politicians began injecting the terrorist attack in Paris into budget debates.
CNN reports that Republicans are trying to add ammunition to their upcoming budgetary battle with Democrats by claiming President Obama’s new immigration policies hamper Homeland Security’s fight against terrorism.
Republicans are expected to unveil their bill Friday.
President Obama has threatened to veto any efforts by Republicans to limit his immigration reforms.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said Republicans may resort to a Homeland Security funding bill.
“There are terrorists around the world who are intent on killing Americans and other freedom loving individuals around the country. I believe that the President’s executive action with regard to immigration are outside of the Constitution and outside of his power and I believe that we can deal with that issue in the Department of Homeland Security bill without jeopardizing the security of our country.”
