Congress is scrambling to do something about the massive influx of illegal immigration that’s taking place. Border Patrol and ICE resources are severely drained because of the number of people illegally crossing our southern border.
“We’re going to run out of money in July because the numbers are just so high,” Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said on Friday. “This is not about gamesmanship. This is not about politics. This is not about immigration policy. This is a humanitarian relief package. And it has got to pass. It’s got to pass immediately. We are out of money and we are out of capacity.”
House Democrats on Friday unveiled a $4.5 billion bill to address the immigration crisis along America’s southern border. Their bill, however, is much different than the legislation the Senate passed earlier this week.
Instead of including funding for President Trump’s proposed border wall, House Democrats want the majority of the emergency funding to go to “legal assistance, food, water, and medical services, support services for unaccompanied children, alternatives to detention, and refugee services.”
