Democrats Block Funding for DHS to Protect Obama Immigration Orders

This article was about how all of the Senate democrats voted no to a bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security. The Democrats said that no matter how much the Republicans fight them they will not say yes until the Republicans remove the restrictions on immigration funding in the bill. The DHS runs out of money on February 27th, and the Republicans fell just short of overruling the Democratic filibuster. The Democrats say they refuse to pass the bill because there are parts that would restrict Obama's executive order on immigration are taken out of the 40 billion dollar bill.

This article talks about political parties and political ideologies, which is something we have just learned about. The Republicans want to pass a bill that restrict Obama from letting some illegal immigrants that are here stay. Republicans generally do not support loosening immigration while Democrats do. Another thing we learned about was different types of participation, people in Congress are activists, or political elite. I think that we should not let these illegal immigrants stay, because although some of them might be contributing to our economy, they did not come here legally. If we let some people stay then people might lie and say that they have been here for longer so they can too.
