The Republican plan to overturn President Obama's executive actions on immigration was to attach legislation overturning those actions on a bill funding the Department of Homeland Security. To the surprise of no one with a brain, this plan failed. After passing in the House, the bill was filibustered in the Senate.
Republicans will blame Democrats for this situation and vice versa, but the fact of the matter is that after screaming about the supposed unconstitutionality of Obama's actions, Republicans are now faced with the choice of either allowing them to stand by passing a clean funding bill or shutting down Homeland Security.
As Senator Mark Kirk (R-IL), said, this is a “a self-inflicted political wound for Republicans."
