Minority Leader Harry Reid slammed Republicans on Tuesday ahead of a vote barring the Department of Homeland Security from implementing President Barack Obama’s immigration executive orders and following the apparent burning of a Jordanian hostage by the Islamic State.

Reid said Republicans are more afraid of “DREAMers” than of ISIS while demanding a vote on a “clean” DHS spending bill.
