Congress stuck on Homeland Security funding, immigration

Source: AP-Excite

WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Democrats have blocked action for a third time on legislation to fund the Homeland Security Department and overturn President Barack Obama's executive actions on immigration.

The vote Thursday was 52 to 47, eight short of the 60 needed to advance. Two procedural votes earlier in the week yielded similar outcomes.

It's not certain how Congress will resolve the issue with Homeland Security funding set to lapse on Feb. 27 without action.

It does nothing, we don't need it, and it's a classic fascist boondoggle.

I'm sick of this paranoid right wing nonsense. Either get rid of it or rename it something everyone can get on board with......like Kittyland Security!
