Short-Term Spending Bill

CONGRESS TO PASS SHORT-TERM SPENDING BILL, 11/21/16, NumbersUSA

It was reported this week that Congress will not pass a giant omnibus spending bill that would fund the federal government through the end of next September. Instead, it will pass a short-term spending bill to fund the government until after Trump is sworn in.

This likely means that GOP Leadership will push off any decisions on two problem proposals: 1) expanding the refugee resettlement program and 2) extending the quadrupling of the H-2B guest-worker program until next year.

It could also mean an end to their consideration of criminal justice reform that could have released thousands of criminal aliens onto the streets.
