House Democrats to pass part of Trump's emergency border funding

  1. House Democrats blinked Sunday, with Speaker Nancy Pelosi announcing they will vote this week to grant at least part of President Trump's emergency border funding to deal with the humanitarian crisis.
  2. The Senate bill also funds some of the Pentagon's troop deployments and includes money for Customs and Border Protection and for more immigration judges though it does not include money for bed space that the president wanted for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the deportation agency.
  3. Pelosi also made no overtures to work on the broader factors drawing the illegal immigrants to the U.S. lax policies that require the government to quickly release children and families into the community, making their deportations nearly impossible.
  4. At the request of Democrats, I have delayed the Illegal Immigration Removal Process (Deportation) for two weeks to see if the Democrats and Republicans can get together and work out a solution to the Asylum and Loophole problems at the Southern Border.
  5. This legislation provides urgently needed humanitarian assistance for families, including funding for food, shelter, clothing, medical care and legal assistance, and will relieve the horrific situation of overcrowding and help prevent additional deaths, the California Democrat said.
  6. Trump the emergency humanitarian money he has requested to provide better care for the migrant children and families who are overwhelming the border.
  7. Trump had called for action on the incentives spurring the surge of illegal immigrants to the U.S.: the court-ordered policy that requires families to be quickly released into communities, and the low bar for starting an asylum claim and thus earning the release.
  8. The president's failed policies have exacerbated the situation at the border, where vulnerable children endure inhumane conditions that threaten their health, well-being and sometimes, tragically, their lives.
