vote to deport Dreamers
House
Republicans voted Wednesday to fund the Department of Homeland Security, but
with the requirement that millions of undocumented young people, parents and
others be put back at risk of deportation.
The DHS funding bill was the
opening shot in what is likely to be a contentious weeks long fight over how to
deal with appropriations for the agency before its funding runs out at the end
of February. For now, Republicans and Democrats have drawn lines in the sand:
Most GOP House members said they would not vote to fund DHS without measures to
end many of President Barack Obama's immigration policies, while Democrats and
the president have vowed to oppose anything that includes those amendments.

cut $300 M. from Pell Grants to college students.
The Republican House has approved the Keystone
pipeline. The Republicans, who just took control of the Senate, have made clear
that this is a top priority—and they have the votes to send the bill to
President Obama's desk.1
The president has vowed to veto this bill.
But this won't be the last time President Obama is
the last line of defense against the new Republican Congress. And every time he
acts, he'll pay for it—taking heat from conservatives and the media.
