The Spin

Republican narrative

The Senate snuck through a DHS funding bill in the dead of night that zeroed out ICE and Border Patrol — a total betrayal of the voters who demanded border security. House Republicans are right to reject this garbage deal and push a 60-day continuing resolution that fully funds all of DHS. Conservatives weren't handed a trifecta just to let the Left defund immigration enforcement and protect criminal traffickers.

Democratic narrative

House Republicans are wrong for killing a bipartisan DHS funding deal that Senate and House Democrats were ready to pass. Now they own the shutdown fallout. A 60-day CR is a non-starter that just locks in chaos. Blocking critical homeland security funding to score political points is exactly the kind of reckless governing by Republicans that should hand the Democrats the midterms.
