At midnight on Friday, Feb. 27, 2015, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security will run out of money, unless Congress approves a new funding measure.
Some Republicans have tried to tie DHS funding to their bill to overturn President Obama’s executive actions on immigration.
On Wednesday, Feb. 25, 2015, Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell and Democratic leaders reached an agreement to hold a vote on DHS funding alone – without the immigration bill. House Republicans showed no signs of going along with that.
On “A Closer Look,” Georgia Republican Sen. Johnny Isakson talked about funding of DHS, as well as attempts to stifle ISIS, and Obama’s recent veto of the Keystone Pipeline with WABE’s Denis O’Hayer and Rose Scott.
