Topeka ? All four U.S. House members from Kansas voted against a bill Tuesday that funds the Department of Homeland Security through the end of the federal fiscal year.

The bill passed anyway, 257-167, preventing a shutdown later this week of the agency that manages U.S. immigration and border security, as well as the Secret Service, Coast Guard and the Transportation Safety Administration.

Conservative Republicans in the House had hoped to use the $39.7 billion spending bill as leverage to block President Barack Obama’s recent executive orders relaxing immigration enforcement against children who were brought to the U.S. illegally as well as undocumented parents of U.S. citizens or legal immigrants.

But Democrats in the Senate had threatened to filibuster any attempt to link funding for the agency with measures to block the president’s immigration policy.

As a result, the Senate on Friday passed a clean funding bill on Friday, providing the agency with funding through the end of the fiscal year. Both Sens. Pat Roberts and Jerry Moran voted against that bill.

“I voted against using taxpayer dollars to fund implementation of the President’s executive amnesty through the Department of Homeland Security spending bill,” Moran said in a statement. “I strongly support funding the Department of Homeland Security but I do not believe we should use taxpayer dollars to pay for executive amnesty.”

But the House could not muster enough votes to pass that measure. After an attempt to pass a three-week extension failed, the House managed late Friday to pass a one-week extension.

Rep. Lynn Jenkins, of Topeka, whose district includes Lawrence, and Rep. Mike Pompeo, of Wichita, both voted for that bill. Reps. Kevin Yoder, of Overland Park, and Tim Huelskamp, of Fowler, voted no.

But all four representatives voted against the full funding bill on Tuesday.

“Ultimately, I do not support a bill that fund’s the President’s blatant executive overreach, which is why I rejected today’s bill,” Jenkins said in a statement released after the vote. “While I am optimistic that the current Federal court action that has blocked the President’s action will hold, I will continue to explore other avenues and not give up the fight to preserve, protect, and defend the U.S. Constitution and ensure that our immigration laws are enforced.”

In February, a federal judge in Brownsville, Texas, blocked implementation of Obama’s executive orders. The case was led by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican, and was joined by the attorneys general of several other states, including Republican Derek Schmidt, of Kansas.

The Obama administration is appealing that decision, but has agreed to suspend its policy of “deferred action” regarding immigrants covered by the executive orders pending that appeal.
