Quote:The shutdown ended after McConnell agreed to bring a discussion on DACA to the Senate floor followed by a vote. But on Monday, Scalise—the House majority whip—said his chamber made no such arrangement.

"We're not going to pass a bill that has amnesty," he said. "There are things that would anger our base that I don’t see us passing in the House.”

Quote:“It’s good for everybody to put their ideas on paper, but ultimately there are things that can and cannot pass in the House," he told Politico. "And we have to work through those details, and we’re working through them.”
