PRIORITIES: Paul Ryan Negotiated Exporting Oil In Exchange For Importing Syrians.

“Republicans’ desperate thirst for lifting the oil export ban empowered Democrats to win significant concessions throughout the Omnibus, including ridding the bill of scores of deeply destructive poison pill riders,” Pelosi said Thursday.

One of the major priorities for conservatives was defunding the refugee programs. House Republicans, along with 47 Democrats, voted this month on tightening restrictions on refugees. Many conservatives argued that the best to defund the program was target it in the omnibus bill.

The White House has opposed defunding the refugee program. In the end, Republicans caved and didn’t attempt to defund the program.
