WASHINGTON, March 3 (UPI) -- U.S. President Barack Obama's executive orders on immigration won't be touched in the Department of Homeland Security funding bill that has now been passed by both chambers of Congress.
The House of Representatives passed the $40 billion spending bill without any riders to dismantle Obama's immigration programs by a vote of 257-167 on Tuesday. The Senate approved the same bill last week to fully fund the department through the end of the year.
