It's a six-bill package, and one of those funds DHS, while the other five addresses other parts of the government.

Otherwise, we could see other parts of the government, in addition to DHS, like the Defense Department, Health and Human Services, lose funding starting this weekend.

Well, it is a tall order.

The Senate would need consent from all of its members to split up these bills, perhaps setting up a series of new votes, renegotiating a DHS bill in time to try and pass it.

Well, Thune and other leaders maintain they can't split this package up.
