President Obama called a looming shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security "irresponsible" and vowed to "fight any attempt to turn back" his immigration policies in an exclusive op-ed published in The Hillon Tuesday.

"It was my hope that a new, Republican-led Congress would seek to govern responsibly,"Obama wrote.

The op-ed also translated for Spanish-language media comes with Republicans divided over how to roll back the president's executive actions on immigration and funding for DHS running outon Friday.

Conservative House Republicans passed a DHS funding bill that would undo programs that shield millions of illegal immigrants from deportation. But Senate Democrats blocked that measure repeatedly, insisting on a clean funding bill.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.)on Mondaymovedto strip the immigration measures from the DHS funding bill, setting up separate votes, but it is unclear if House conservatives will accept that maneuver.

Obamaon Tuesdayshowed a combative tone, saying he was certain his actions would stand and calling on Congress to take up comprehensive immigration reform.

"I am confident that all the steps Ive taken on my own to fix our broken immigration system will eventually be implemented," saidthe president. "But I also continue to believe that these steps are no substitute for congressional action.

Obama also blasted a Texas court ruling earlier this month blocking his immigration actions.

The president called U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen's ruling "misguided."

"Make no mistake, I disagree with this judges ruling," Obama wrote in The Hill. "My Administration will fight this ruling with every tool at our disposal, and I have full confidence that these actions will ultimately be upheld."
