WASHINGTON \u2014 Senate Democrats on Tuesday blocked consideration of a House-passed homeland security spending bill, objecting to immigration provisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After Majority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., brought up a procedural measure to move to <\/span>a $39.7 billion Department of Homeland Security (DHS) appropriations bill, Democrats closed ranks. The final vote on the motion was 51-48, well shy of the 60 needed for the chamber to move to the bill.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The House-approved bill would covers<\/span> the agency for the remainder of fiscal 2015. It includes billions for equipmentthings<\/span> built by US defense firms, like Coast Guard ships and aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

McConnell now must find a way to avoid a DHS shutdown on Feb. 27 and appease conservative members of his caucus who want to chip away at President Barack Obama’s recent immigration action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He hinted that he would try to bring up the House measure again, possibly with changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

“The way to change a bill is to get on a bill and offer amendments,” McConnell told reporters after his party huddled over lunch. “So I think it’s a rather honestly absurd position to say, ‘we object to a bill, but don’t want to debate the bill or change the bill.’ I’m perplexed.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The majority leader has dodged questions about whether he eventually will push a “clean” DHS bill \u2014 one without the House’s immigration provisions \u2014 through the chamber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
