Durbin: It’s ‘Wrong Approach’ to Use a Single Item Like Border Security to Avoid Gov’t Shutdown

‘Let’s sit down on a bipartisan basis and pass a continuing resolution’
By Grabien Staff

EXCERPT:

BASH: "Sounds like you might be okay with additional funding for the border in order to keep the government opening — open?"
DURBIN: "Well, I'm not going to single-shot any one item that needs to be there, or else. I think that's the wrong approach to use. We're talking about a continuing resolution to keep the lights on in the government while we debate the appropriation bill for the next fiscal year, which starts October 1. So I'm not going to say it's a requirement for any element to be included. Let's sit down on a bipartisan basis and pass a continuing resolution."
