I think today the White House commented. The press secretary said they would not have a comment and then implied that.....well here is what he said...

"it’s because of the political efforts of Republicans that we have not been able to make the kind of investment that we’d like to make in securing our border and keeping our community safe,” -

THAT was the response.

I am sure that any well read person knows the history on that. Senate passes a bill...sends to the House with provisions that make the Presidents edict an ok thing and says if he gets it without that, he will veto it. Democrats in senate say they will not vote for it without that language.

Boehner is blamed.
