@zaryia: im so glad they approved the requested funing PROPOSED BY THE WHITE HOUSE.
So I'm confused. What is your complaint or excuse now?
The Dems agreed to give $4.5billion to fix Trump's disaster. I never said Trump didn't ask for it. I'm glad he's finally being responsible for his actions. I'm equally glad the Dem House acted so quickly to fix Trump's disaster (they did all they can on their end, now watch the GOP halt it). I wish the GOP house did something, or I wish the Trump admin didn't create this mess at all.
P.S.
But the bill faces a tough path through the Republican-controlled Senate.
It is considering a rival bill with fewer restrictions on how border agencies can spend the money.
The Democrats' version, in contrast, contains several strict rules setting out that the funds can be used for humanitarian aid only, and "not for immigration raids, not detention beds, not a border wall", a statement from House appropriations committee chair Nita Lowey said.
The bill was toughened up after some Democrats expressed concern over providing extra funds for agencies involved in the current situation, including those enforcing President Donald Trump's "zero tolerance" policy which had last year led to migrant children being separated from their parents.
