I don't like it.

Here's Senate Republican Majority Leader John Thune on the same issue.

Thune said the fund concerns are linked to why these votes are delayed.

Republicans were all set to pass three years of funding for immigration enforcement.

They control both chambers of Congress, albeit with narrow margins.

But when those slim majorities come up against controversial policies, the math stops working.

The Constitution gives Congress the power to authorize military conflicts.

And the War Powers Resolution of 1973 gives the president 60 days to obtain congressional approval for military action.

The Iran war has now exceeded that threshold, though the White House claims that given the ongoing ceasefire, congressional action is moot.

Increasingly, Republicans disagree.

Three, Thomas Massey, Tom Barrett, and Brian Fitzpatrick, joined virtually all Democrats in this vote to end the conflict.

In a similarly unsuccessful vote Wednesday in the Senate, three Republicans voted with most Democrats.

The war remains unpopular with the American public as it continues to drive up the cost of living.

Generally, Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, ICE, and Customs and Border Protection are funded on the same cycle as everything else, October through September.

But because of the fight over how ICE and Border Patrol have conducted Trump's mass deportation agenda, Democrats blocked their annual funding as they pushed for reforms.

These agencies have been without their usual appropriated money since February.

So Republicans have decided, let's just put this issue to rest.

We have the votes to end this fight through Trump's term in the White House.
