WASHINGTON, March 3 (KUNA) -- The US House of Representatives passed a bill on Tuesday to fund the Department of Homeland Security for the rest of the fiscal year and will be sent to President Barack Obama to sign.
The bill will keep intact Obama's executive action on immigration that was strongly criticized by his conservative opponents. Earlier in the day, Republican House Speaker John Boehner agreed to the Democrats' demand to hold a vote on the legislation.
"I am outraged and frustrated as you at the lawless and unconstitutional actions of this president," said Boenher to his caucus Tuesday morning, according to a source cited by several US media outlets.
The bill was passed with a vote of 257-167 and is seen a major win for the Democrats and the Obama administration. (end)
