By separating the matter, apparently-
[Democratic Senator Joe] Manchin said he backs Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s plan for a standalone bill that would separate DHS funding from the president’s action on immigration.
Manchin said the Senate passed a “very comprehensive” and “very bipartisan bill,” and that Obama had pledged “many times he would never do something as far as that on immigration, as far as what the executive order is,” before his announcement in November.
He said he couldn’t speak to how many others in his party might vote like him, adding that McConnell is going to need six moderate Democrats to vote with Republicans.
