It is a vote, that's all. Even if it passes you find it funny that Americans will be getting the shaft with this amnesty funding fiasco attached to it? What else do you find funny about rewarding lawbreakers while the taxpayer pays for it fiscally and in so many other ways? Let's hope the courts prevail on this.
Boehner Blinks--Will Allow For Clean Funding Of Department Of Homeland Security
To no one's surprise--except maybe the Tea Party true believers--Boehner has caved to reality and will put forward a clean bill to fund DHS to a vote.
"The speaker told members there were only three ways forward for the DHS fight at this point, according to the source in the room. They could vote on the clean bill, which would be likely to pass given the near-unanimous support of Democrats. They could do another short-term bill, but Boehner said that might be unlikely to pass, given the failure of a three-week funding bill last week. The final option, allowing DHS to shut down, was untenable, he said."

There will be no "amnesty fiasco attached to it." Boehner is stripping it out. The bill will be clean, as in, without the rider the Tea Party tried to add.
This is exactly the outcome that was expected by anyone with a brain. Which, of course, doesn't include the Tea Party. One would think that having this happen again and again, they would finally start to learn. But that's expecting too much from that bunch.
How embarrassing for Boehner. The only way he can get anything passed in the House is with the Democrat's help.
Caves? I call this sanity prevails. This is how governing works, it's called COMPROMISE ... a word that seemingly does not exist in the Tea Party dictionary. You cannot govern effectively unless you compromise.
If anyone believes this drama wasn't planned to get around Boners detractors they are political neophytes.
